Print Faux Fur Fleece
Faux fur is a great alternative to real fur. However, it needs care and maintenance to retain its softness and fluffy look. Follow our faux fur care tips for best results.
Faux Fur Fabrics Pros
Cruelty-free: One significant advantage of using faux fur is that it puts an end to the bloody fur trade industry. Using faux fur eliminates all forms of animal cruelty and protects animal welfare.
Low Cost of Production: Typically, animal furs (like rabbit fur, fox fur, sable fur, and mink fur) are more expensive to produce. Faux fur makes use of synthetic fibers in its production, making it a cheaper alternative.
A More Versatile Fabric: We know faux fur fabric for its versatility. We can create it in unique designs, patterns, and colors, unlike animal fur.
Easy Maintenance: The plastic fur maintains its soft and shiny look for a long time. It is easy to wash and is resistant to insect attacks.
How to distinguish between faux fur and real fur?
To know if you are holding real fur or fake fur, you can try out these few tests:
Check the base of the fabric: Real fur will have fur hairs attached to its natural leather base. Faux fur, on the other hand, comes with a knitted base.
Try to stick a pin through the fabric: If you try sticking a pin and it goes through easily, it is most likely faux fur because of its knitted base. Real fur will be difficult because of its leather base.
Try the hair/fiber burn test: Pluck out a strand of fur and hold it to a lit match or lighter. When burned, real fur will smell of burnt hair while faux fur, (made of acrylics and modacrylic polymers) will smell of plastic.
Try touching the fabric: Real fur has a much smoother and dense feel than faux fur. Faux fur is more coarse and can sometimes stick to your hands if wet.
Try to check for labels: Check if the labels have a mark as genuine or fake furs.
How to care for the faux fur fabric?
Looking after your faux fur will help retain its fluffy and colorful feel. However, improper care of your faux fur can damage the fur fibers. Here are ways to care for your faux fur:
Store your faux fur fabric in a dry place: Faux furs are not suitable for rainy days. They can stick to each other when wet since they are made of synthetic materials.
Store your faux fur in a breathable bag: Avoid placing your faux fur garment between other garments tightly, as this can flatten the fabric.
Avoid direct exposure to sunlight: This can cause discoloration and ruin the fibers of the fabric.
Use a soft brush to smoothen the fabric: Avoid using brushes with stiff bristles as this can ruin the furs. Do this weekly to get rid of debris and maintain its shine.
