faux fur is the gateway drug to real fur. some of the fake stuff is so real looking (the purpose of all fakes is to be misinterpreted as the real, right?) that people don't realize you're wearing imitation. so, in some sense you are condoning the use of fur--which is so not cool! lenny’s last blog post..newspaper pencils–zoinks!

I really see no need for it. There are so many other beautiful textures to wear. If I want to feel fur—I’ll just go pet my kitty cats!

i personally wouldn’t wear vintage fur (my mom brought back a stole of my grandmother’s recently, with THE HEAD on it and it freaked my sh*t out), but i don’t see the problem in wearing it if it’s already in your family, or you picked it up at a vintage market. if you love fur, that’s definitely the way to go….

thanks for posting this. i didn't like kate winslet going on about how she'd be wrapped up in faux fur when she hates real fur. i don't think faux is much better in the long run, as we still have no idea how much effect synthetic deterioration will have on the environment. i realize that many people do not agree with wearing fur at all. though i have to admit, i do wear vintage fur because i don't see any sense in letting it go to waste. besides, my vintage fur is older than i am. jennine’s last blog post..Don’t Fake It

Hmmm...you have any excellent point. I voted that I don't like any fur, real or faux, but I too like those pieces from Loyale. I think you've created a dilemma for me Grechen! Jennae @ Green Your Decor’s last blog post..Pure, Natural Style: Silver Smoke Organic Bedding Collection

i answered “other” because as i mentioned above, i’m not really a fan of fur or faux fur at all, but i have fallen in love with the two loyale organic cotton pieces….hmmm…what about you?
