And technology in textile production means there's no real need to buy real fur anymore. The really good quality fake furs have the same look and properties of real fur. There's some lovely soft fake fur snoods being handmade by To & Fro this winter. Check out ToandFro on Asos Marketplace. Fake fur is definitely in this winter.

No! If you are wearing fur wear fur, not polyester! And I am pretty sure Kates coat is dyed rabbit. If you have a guilty conscience just buy vintage fur or raid your grandmothers closet! Ugh.. No!

Would I wear faux fur? YES, absolutely! I will admit that I would keep it small, such as trim on a coat or accessories. Full faux fur coats and vests don't flatter me at all. Accessories are awesome ways to spice up an ensemble or update a tired one... especially in these economically trying times. This is exactly why I started the Fuzzi Faux Fur line. This a 100% handmade line of wearable art pieces in sculpted faux fur. Check out my wares at www.fuzzifauxfur.com. Let me know what you think! I would always prefer faux over the real thing… always!

However, they are all either vintage, or inherited. And I mean REAL vintage, not 1980s...more like 1940s. As far as the faux, I have two faux vests that will be coming out of storage this weekend...it's that time of year! I will admit that I do own some fur pieces.

I studied the fur industry for one my degree projects and it is an awful, crule, vain industry, You are spot on about the dog fur, there are no labeling laws to protect buyers like us, from actually wearing real fur. And as you said it is that of dogs & cats. Welldone for bringing it to peoples attention in your awesome fashion blog! I’m so glad you mentioned the ethics of fur.

I think that it adds an edge to whatever outfit you're wearing. For example, I saw this gorgeous picture in a photospread one day of a girl wearing just a pair of cutoff shorts and a band t-shirt...but she added a faux fur jacket to the mix and WOW did the outfit pop. I think that the look is really gorgeous and different. Not to mention cozy! Honestly: YES. I think that it adds an edge to whatever outfit you’re wearing.

I disagree with wearing faux fur on the basis that to wear the trend will fuel the trend even further. Meaning more animals deaths. Not cool. Its depressing to see the people who do wear fur are so aggressive. And whoever says that the fur industry kills the animals humanely is dead wrong. I think they need to do their homework. This youtube video is one of my favorite videos exploring into the fur industry and the opinions and ideas that fur wearers have: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yk87EjGD8Gk gotta love The Discerning Brute Wow it is so great to see so many of the readers don’t wear any fur trends or leather.

I was in a terribly bad mood and that was very uncalled for. What I meant to say was that I wish you would have posted both sides to the story. I'm not asking you to promote buying real fur, but maybe state some reasons why people would want to. Just so its clear, I wouldn't buy real fur either. I'm very anti animal cruelty, I would have just liked to hear both sides, as I believe it would make the post stronger. But like you pointed out Zephyr, it is your blog, and if I didn't respect your opinion so much I wouldn't read it on a daily basis. Once again, I'm sorry that this post has fallen victim to one of my terrible bad moods. Wow, going back and rereading my post where I trashed this site, I’m sooo sorry.
