For some reason, Donna Karan seems to think that it's a good idea to highlight the fact that the rabbit-fur collar on this coat is from China:
Yes, indeed, China—the land of melamine-tainted baby formula and corrosive drywall. It's practically synonymous with quality! Not to mention cruelty.
We think a better selling point is the fact that the collar is detachable, which means you can stop people from pointing and frowning and wondering what on Earth that poor little bunny ever did to you. Of course, they'll still wonder what you have against North African lambs …

Fur was once used as a protection from cold and other elements. As years went on, humans got smarter and discovered many alternatives to fur (amongst other things). I don't understand why wearing fur, leather or wool is so damned prestigeous. It's ugly. It's a dead animal's skin. How horrific everyone thaught it was when Ed Gein and Buffalow Bill wore human flesh... Why aren't animals spared the same feelings? Is it because they can't speak? Don't tell me it's a food chain thing because we have other options and as a species, I'd like to think we've evolved from barbaric means. Shame on you Donna Karan; to me, you're preventing us from evolution... you're a murderer and a neanderthal. *UGG ME DONNA; YOU WEAR FUR NOW* ::eyeroll::
