Although I prefer to buy vintage furs, I do not have a problem investing in real fur as long as the animals are not being wrongfully killed for the sole purpose of making a coat. Likewise, I think it is important for designers like Fendi or J.Mendel to provide easily accessible information to consumers with facts about where their fur originates.
