The ethics of vintage fur coats

How do we know every "vintage" fur coat is really vintage fur?
Well, we don't, and that is the problem with vintage fur coats.
As long as their is a market for real fur, animals will be
killed to make new fur coats, even if they have to find vintage
materials for the linings of the coats and lie about the age of
the fur. There is too much money to be made to keep them
honest. Plus, I take issue with the idea that fur biodegrades
and plastic doesn't. It depends on which plastic, what the
plastic is exposed to, and the number of years it sits, but a
lot of plastics do eventually biodegrade (particularly when
exposed to plastic-eating bacteria), it just takes a very long
time. Well, hair and fur also last a very long time before they
have biodegraded.
I love the ideas presented here to make faux furs from
environmentally friendly plant materials like nettle, hemp, and
flax instead of plastics.
The mob wife trend? I don't know, maybe that is a problem too,
but that will change quickly. That is the nature of trends
anyway, and they change faster than ever these days.
