Eco-friendly fake fur


Good quality fake fur is hard to come by.

And sometimes it's not even what it claims to be. Last year there were reports that some some "fake" furs were actually dog and cat furs from China. Horrible.

So we were pleased to find this guide to cruelty-free fur, featuring organic cotton fuzzy alternatives by designers like Linda Loudermilk and Loyale (who made this cozy winter coat), and information on The Humane Society of the United States' Coats for Cubs program. They take your donated mink stoles and fox furs and send them to wildlife rehabilitators, who use the furs to warm and comfort orphaned and injured wildlife (mainly bobcats, foxes, raccoons, squirrels, or rabbits.)
