vintage fur coatsReal fur accessories tend to get a bad rap within the fashion world, even to this day. It’s an unfortunate reality that people who appreciate and openly wear fur apparel have to face regularly. However, the truth of the matter is fur has a much more significant purpose within the fashion world than most like to give it credit for. Real fur accessories have existed as a part of the fashion scene throughout hundreds of generations of civilization for several reasons. We want to delve into those reasons and hopefully provide evident proof as to why fur is such a mainstay and should be held in higher regard than it typically is within the fashion industry.

It’s a Part of Us

As we stated above, fur fashion has a longstanding history within global society. As far back as prehistoric times, people have worn fur just as heavily as they have other types of clothing. It keeps us warm during freezing nights and, over time, it began to be valued for its aesthetic purposes alongside its warmth. The fact that fur has been in fashion for so many years is what allows us to take advantage of the large stock of vintage fur coats still available within today’s market. This type of fashion has a longevity that many other types of clothing simply do not have, which by itself is a fact that heavily marks fur apparel as being worthy of respect.

It’s a Staple Industry

Fur trapping is just as old of a career choice as fur fashion is in and of itself. The two are permanently linked to one another, as you can’t have real fur accessories without having people who process the pelts we use to make our coats, hats and scarves. Because this is such a long standing profession, it’s reasonable to infer that there are generations of people who have made fur farming, trapping and processing their sole livelihood. In fact, fur is still a booming industry that produces countless, high quality products on a regular basis. Disparaging fur fashion also disrespects the hard work so many individuals put into crafting these products.

It Keeps the Ecosystem in Sustainable Condition

The fact of the matter is that all living creatures die. There’s no escaping it. However, many species reproduce faster than they lose members of the population, which is a situation that can quickly lead to there being too many animals for their environment to properly maintain. The fur industry is one solution to this problem that is actually quite humane. Rather than simply letting the animals rot after death, we use their pelts to make fur accessories—something useful and advantageous. This helps to better the ecosystem by keeping animal populations under control and limiting waste and decay.
