Would you mind me including this in my march round up? I want to praise you for not ranting or coming across as one sided, fur themed posts are rarely nice to see because of the snark involved.Julietslacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905712069220140940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195110584317109733.post-21113238438829211832012-02-06T20:04:06.331+01:002012-02-06T20:04:06.331+01:00PS: I completely forgot to thank you for the lovel...PS: I completely forgot to thank you for the lovely comment you left on my blog!

It's like reycling or smth, right? But I would never buy new fur items. And the funny thing is that you say "somehow, fur is becoming okay again", but I feel that it's quite the opposite... I mean, as far as the general public is concerned. I don't feel comfortable wearing fur sometimes. Some people even make remarks. And I always feel like answering - "Dior has a lot of fur in its latest collection, why you bother me who's wearing a poor, old thrifted coat?"<br />Ach... Dunno. Thanks for the thought provoking post anyway!Dreamlanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12354048870778608520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195110584317109733.post-19851266919397804322012-02-06T16:24:14.967+01:002012-02-06T16:24:14.967+01:00Really interesting and eye-opening on the question...Really interesting and eye-opening on the question of fur trim. I only ever buy faux fur, from charity shops. And yet there are those who would argue that even wearing faux fur encourages a wider passive acceptance of seeing any fur (faux or real) as desirable.<br />And then of course, the very tricky question of family inherited real, vintage fur. I do in fact have a fur stole that belonged to my great grandmother. There was a point where my mum suggested the most ecologically defensible thing to do with it might be to compost it! However, that seemed even more of a waste. I think I agree with Symbiotic Life above about a great-grandmother's fur being something from her life and memory. However, it's still a difficult moral decision about whether to actually wear it.Rosalindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11916652711513095607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195110584317109733.post-66617076653463110882012-02-05T23:14:06.157+01:002012-02-05T23:14:06.157+01:00AMAZING AMAZING PICTURES!

If someone I knew for instance, my grandmother, wanted to pass down one of hers from the 30's or 40's, yes - I would totally accept it. It's something from her life and a memory. I've kept everything I've ever been fortunate enough to have handed down to me from her. I'm really glad you brought this topic up and explored it this way. I don't believe fur is alright and I only condone the wearing of faux fur. I never cease to be amazed at some of the comments people will leave. Keep up the good work.SymbioticLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031252021001637647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195110584317109733.post-35012351065452624872012-02-05T21:35:29.718+01:002012-02-05T21:35:29.718+01:00Great comment!Great comment!Shophopperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02935371047298748672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195110584317109733.post-80132947426505223542012-02-05T20:05:18.439+01:002012-02-05T20:05:18.439+01:00Great fur pieces.

I too have never even considered buying real fur as it would seem wrong for an animal to be killed for something to wear when there are so many alternatives. But Idid think that perhaps rabbit fur trim was a by product of the meat industry, although I have never looked to buy it. yet another example of something that is not quite what it seems in the fashion industry and a reminder on the need for more info on where our clothes are coming from.Style Eyes Ethical Fashion Bloghttp://www.ethicalfashionblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195110584317109733.post-76739396510634639222012-02-03T10:30:55.911+01:002012-02-03T10:30:55.911+01:00tee hee hee.tee hee hee.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195110584317109733.post-16090571012017828862012-02-03T07:27:34.572+01:002012-02-03T07:27:34.572+01:00I don't even want to delete this - it is irony...I don't even want to delete this - it is irony on so many levels. :')Shophopperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02935371047298748672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195110584317109733.post-85933461423877285872012-02-03T06:31:02.463+01:002012-02-03T06:31:02.463+01:00I love that top photo on the right!
