The Popularity Of Faux Fur Throw In Todays Fashion

By Brenda Hayes


Faux is a French word originally and it means fake, false, or a simulation. Fake products are being made by some manufacturers to just purely imitate or simulate items. They are really attempting to make these products to look like more closely as the original item. Their reason for this is for them to avoid some controversies about the over use of animal furs.

Faux materials can be produced in many different ways. This includes finishes that are made with marble dust. Some types of stones are being finished with spatter dash, sponging, or feather streaking techniques. Fake furs became popular because of its promotion for the animal welfare, thus, faux fur throw is being produced as an animal friendly and an alternative to the original clothing.

Aside from its use for clothing, it is also used for stuffed animal, fashion accessories, and some home decors like for pillows and bedding. A real fur is thicker compared to fake furs. And because of its thickness, it would require a special sewing machine for it to be produced.

These furs in todays generation become increasingly popular when it comes to fashion designing. It became a mainstream for winter fashion, and are usually used for hats and jackets. Designers are looking forward to creating more and more designs of faux fur in their future collections. Most designers would rather use fake rather than the real ones since they can manufacture and control the aspects of production such as its volume and color.

Fake furs are usually made out from different variations of materials. The typical materials that are being used are polymeric fibers. These fibers are being processed and dyed to be able to acquire the desired texture and color. Different types of polymers are also being used, and these are acrylic, modacrylic, and some other polymers.

Acrylic and modacrylic polymers have very useful characteristics since these are very light in weight and these are springy. These are also resistant to smoke, heat, and sunlight and it cannot be easily attacked by insects because it can resist to mildews. It also dries quickly because of its low absorbency. Silk, mohair, and wool are also natural fabrics used for the production because it improves the look of the garment.

I monitoring the production, raw materials are to be inspected first. Other features like resiliency, absorbency, pH, density, and appearance are monitored as well. While the fabrication is on going, every single time, manufacturers are doing a test for samples to ensure quality and to surely meet the requirements.

The technology has been improving many aspects of product quality. And according to some researchers, more and more fibers, finishes, and clothing will be developed. Such materials are improving in its quality such as the look and has lower cost. Methods for a quicker and more efficient production is also being studied.

So for the reason of the continuous increase in quality production, nowadays, it can be hard to distinguished natural from faux. The demands surely will also increase. And lastly, manufacturers will strive in producing higher quality products with the lowest possible cost.
