Faux Fur Fabric
Fabric Glossary
Faux fur is a synthetic fabric designed to replicate the look and feel of real animal fur. Made from polyester, acrylic, or modacrylic fibres, it offers a cruelty-free and often more affordable alternative to genuine fur, with a wide variety of textures, colours, and pile lengths.
Uses:
Faux fur is used for coats, trims, costumes, blankets, cushions, home décor accents, and fashion accessories like hats and bags. Faux fur fabric is perfect for creating bold, cosy, and stylish pieces—ideal when you want the look of luxury without the ethical or maintenance concerns of real fur.
