I think fur when worn right is such a gorgeous look!

But personally I don't feel comfortable wearing fur, I purchased a vintage mink bolero that I had to return eventually because I know I wouldn't be wearing it much.
I'm tempted by the faux fur options around, but I'm afraid it still wouldn't work out.. the most that I will attempt is probably in the form of fur trim/collars.

I've seen loads of fur vests when looking for fur coats for my own trendspotting thread. If you look through Paris fashion week, there are many people sporting this look.

Fur could be so gorgeous! After watching Rachel Zoe's show I love it even more because she wears some great pieces. I'm about to buy a jacket and som great vests. It can be pretty cute to put a vest over a leather jacket in the winter.

I just bought a black curly fur jacket and a DIOR fur scarf/stole - both vintage. It's pretty easy to find vintage fur jackets or vests.

it doesnt have to be fur either, I think the long wool version is just as nice.

I went to Russian about 3 years ago and I agree. If I lived there I would never be without a fur coat. Impossible to keep warm without one! So cold . . . . . brrrrrrrrrrrrr

Does anyone know how I can tell, find out, if this is real fur or not?
I've been on a few sites and failed to find any info
Thanks!

It looks real to me but maybe email them prior to buying as some fake stuff looks pretty real until you touch it and then it is easy distinguishable.

I got a fake fur long waistcoat from Primark last year for the grand sum of £20 and can't get over the number of admiring comments I get for it, and how many people think its real & can't possibly be from Primark. Currently wearing it as a 'middle layer' between my day clothes & my ancient biker jacket (it really is ancient - I got it when I was 17 & now nearly 32!)
