Is imitation the best form of flattery?

The Bite:
When it comes to fur, it is. Since the chinchilla sports his coat better than you would anyway, faux is the way to go. Now there are stylish, U.S.-grown, organic cotton fakes that'll make you look as cute as a lil' critter without putting one in harm's way.
The Benefits: 
  • Covetable, cruelty-free couture.
  • Enviable energy savings. Many fakes are made using oil, but the energy it takes to raise an animal for fur is still 20 times the amount needed to make a fake.
  • Organic cotton copycats. New-ish imitations made from organic cotton are oil-free.
Personally Speaking: 
Jen's newest obsession? Real fur - but it's not quite what you think. Check out her take on paihamu pelts in the blog.
Wanna Try: 

Cocktail Fact

Sea otters have the densest fur in the world, at almost 1 million hairs per square inch (vs. 1,000 per square inch on an adult human's head).

Bang For The Bite

It's almost like the real thing and keeps animals out of harm's way, but the quality ones will cost you.
