There will always be woman, that like the look of fur and I am sure designers will always want these customers. If it looks great and no animals suffer, let them wear "faux"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't read the previous posts and will comment stright from the heart. I do not like faux fur if it looks real. what kind of message is that ? We need to stop selling fur as a fashion statement, even if it's faux.

I don't like fur, faux or otherwise but I find it ironic that the Chinese are using real fur to imitate fake

I understand Ashley Palmer's premise, and I think that different approaches work with different people. Weaning people off real fur and real leather is, I think, a big step in the right direction. The sticking point, as noted by others, is not being able to ascertain whether real animal products are masquerading as faux. I suppose the only answer to that is to promote the legitimate companies and try to educate the public about only buying trusted brands. I don't wear faux fur for all the reasons other objectors in the forum have listed, but I can see the trend functioning as a helpful way to, step by step, enlighten the public and undermine support for clothiers who use animal products.

I never bought faux fur because I was afraid people would think I was wearing real fur. I didn't want anyone to think that I would. I even refused to give a friend a hug when I saw her in town because she was wearing real fur. Then I read the article about China using dog and cat and I definitely won't buy faux.

Not hot b/c it promotes the IDEA of fur. No way.

I do eat soy dogs and they look like hot dogs. I wear shoes that are faux leather and look like leather. It is tough to be vegan and I do cheat when there is nothing else to eat. I do wear faux fur. I think it is beautiful and can't resist it. It is that simple.

My opinion is shown in the fact that I already bought the vest from Fabulous Furs as I have many other items. There are many women who still equate fur with glamour. To give them a viable alternative is good for animals. I tell people mine is a man-made fur not fake anything. And I absolutely love the look. I do feel glamourous wearing it. It's easy to tell the difference if you get close up to the coat, animal fur is attached to a skin (and heavy) this is not.

I love faux fur! It affords me the opportunity to feel near to animals I love, while knowing the sweet babies are still alive. I'm also very proud and excited to tell people "I only do faux". I also keep PETA flyer "skinned alive" handy and available to pass out.
