What is faux fur?
Simply put, faux fur is faux fur, a textile fabric specially designed to mimic real animal fur. This type of fabric is also known as long-pile fabric and is usually made using polymer fibers. Making the fabric involves processing the fibers, dyeing, and cutting to match the color and texture of a particular species of fur.
What's special about faux fur fabric is that it largely resembles real fur without actually obtaining the fur from various animals. The resemblance is so uncanny that most people won't be able to tell the difference between the real and the fake.
Color and Texture of Faux Fur:
Typically, most faux fur fabrics are made with an 80/20 mix for simplicity. Since faux fur is a synthetic fabric, it can be made in any color and texture. As technology advances, faux fur fabrics can be made into almost any animal pattern or color with such precision that you won't be able to tell the difference between real and faux fur fabrics.
In addition, manufacturers are now also successfully matching the texture of fur to real leather. You can find faux fur in a variety of textures such as real rabbit, alpaca, leopard, weasel, and more.
Uses of artificial fur:
Faux Fake Fur can be used for almost everything that real fur can be used for. Here are some of the most prominent uses for faux fur.
It is used in home decorations such as throw pillows, pillows, bedding, etc.
Faux faux fur is also used in soft toys such as teddy bears and stuffed animals.
This faux fur can be easily sewn with a sewing machine; therefore, it can also be used in various craft projects.
It is also used in handbags and purses.
Many stores, like American Eagle, now use faux fur in their mainstream teen fashions, such as sweaters and tapped hats.
