Real or faux furs// fashion

The Fur Dilemma 

Fashion week: fall winter 2025/26

The latest  looks on the runways feature fur coats , Ssome real and faux furs. 

Some of the  designers featured fur  , this after years of  no fur campaigns. . 

Furs were in the past the luxury item but looking back hundreds of years it was used in trading . Fur trappers sold the furs to Europe. A business that thrived for hundreds of years . 

Now you a get faux furs that  look so real.  Naturally  they are made from chemicals   So not a natural thing. . The process is no doubt not good for the environment. Also it does not degrade. 

I would say it’s a good idea to recycle or restyle any fur , whether real or faux. Pass it on to someone else to use. 

I have my mothers fur coat  it is lovely but extremely heavy and  stiff.  I later bought a coat that I wore for many years  sadly it ripped at the seams and needed repairs .  Later I found a lovely faux fur  thst I wear often in winter.  . It’s lightweight and very comfortable to wear. 

I definitely will pass it on and not throw into the trash.
