"OMG...pomeranian? " and be upset for the rest of the day...whether they like real fur or are against having even a scrap of it.
I'd wear fox...but not foxhound. Huge difference.

I just don't like that it said it was fake when it wasn't.
I like real fur, real leather, real suade...but loads of people are offended and they buy fake instead. Them buying fake and finding out it was real would be just as bad as me buying real and finding out it was fake. It's just as much a cheat, but with more hurt and disgust.
Not even talking about allergies. I wouldn't be surprized if that was the way they actually found out it wasn't fake.

To me, the whole thing (even though I joke about it being all Puff Daddy's fault xD) is just a byproduct of big companies using cheap overseas labor. If the coats had been made in the US, there's no way it would've happened.
Greed.
I also wear real leather and real suade - but I do NOT wear real fur (or any fur for that matter). Killing an animal just so a person can look fashionable is totally unethical and inhumane IMHO.
