Fleece / Fur

About

Stay warm in style: Fleece and faux fur for the fashion-conscious and ethically-minded.

Fleece is a type of fabric that is made from polyester or a blend of polyester and other synthetic fibres. It is known for its softness, warmth, and breathability, making it a popular choice for clothing and outdoor gear. Fleece is also lightweight, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying, making it a good option for activewear and layering. It can be made in a variety of thicknesses and densities, with heavier, denser fleece being better for colder temperatures and lighter, thinner fleece being more suitable for milder weather. Fleece is also relatively inexpensive and easy to care for, as it is machine-washable and can be tumble-dried.

Faux fur, also known as fake fur or synthetic fur, is a fabric that is made to mimic the look and feel of real animal fur. It is made from a variety of synthetic materials such as acrylic, modacrylic, and polyester. Faux fur is often used as an alternative to real animal fur in fashion and home decor, as it is less expensive, more sustainable, and generally considered more ethical.

One of the main advantages of faux fur is that it is cruelty-free and does not require the use of animals in its production. In contrast, real animal fur is often obtained through trapping, which can cause injury and death to the animals, or through breeding and farming, which can lead to inhumane living conditions. Faux fur is also considered more sustainable because it does not require the resources necessary to raise and care for animals, and it is often made from synthetic materials that can be recycled or repurposed.

Faux fur can also be made in a wide variety of colours, patterns, and textures, making it a versatile option for fashion and home decor. Additionally, it can be made in a wide range of price points, with higher-end faux furs looking and feeling very similar to real animal fur.

In terms of care, faux fur is generally easy to care for, as it can be washed and tumble-dried like fleece. However, it is important to check the care label before washing, as some faux furs may require more delicate care. Also, it is important to note that some faux furs may shed more than others, so it is worth checking for this before purchasing.
