faux fur

Imitation animal coat

Faux fur is synthetic fabric designed to mimic animal fur—used for clothing, accessories, and home décor.

The French word faux means false or fake.

Once considered a cheap substitute, faux fur has gained status as an ethical alternative to real fur: a faux fur coat, faux fur throw pillows.
