Fe Fi Faux Fur
If you’re fed up with winter and can’t bear the cold anymore then perhaps you should invest in a new winter coat to get you through the next couple of months. Trends these days include a lot of fur around the hoods of coats etc, to make sure you’re not supporting cruelty to animals and pick one out with faux fur. Sometimes it can be hard to tell the difference from faux and real fur, here are a few tricks to double check your coat didn’t harm anyone in Thumper’s family. Check out the backing, fake fur will have a threaded backing while real fur will have dyed skin. Also animal fur tapers into a point, fake fur does not.
GET INTO IT
Why not?
