Faux fur all over fashion

Be my “fur” lady!

Our new obsession in outerwear is faux fur, but the trend doesn’t stop at coats! Jackets, sweaters, vests, gloves, dresses, shoes, boots, scarfs..fur is everywhere. There are tons of super-stylish faux fur options out there, which you can purchase in reasonable prices. We have to add a tip for the synthetic process, which is used, it keeps getting better and better, but you still have to take caution because they aren’t always 100 percent synthetic.
