For a long time, real fur was a status symbol, a sign of exclusivity. But as the saying goes: times change. And when it comes to fur, times are changing in the right direction—no question about it. Fake fur combines luxury with a clear message: fashion can and should be animal-friendly. High-quality synthetic fibers now feel amazingly realistic to the touch and keep you wonderfully warm.

Now for the flip side of the coin: Faux fur is often made from materials like polyester or acrylic, which are originally derived from petroleum. This means they are not biodegradable and can release microplastics when washed, which end up in rivers and oceans via wastewater.
This is where modern manufacturing processes and durable quality make all the difference: A high-quality faux fur piece will last you for many seasons and eliminates the need for short-lived trends. More and more Brands, including, for example NILE, are also turning to recycled polyester fibers, which conserve resources and reduce waste.

Fake fur makes a statement—and can be styled in surprisingly versatile ways. And anyone who knows Bijou knows: We love contrasts. That’s why we love pairing fluffy faux fur with delicate contrasts like tulle skirts to create a feminine, confident “ Look ” look.

If you want to wear the " Look " in your everyday life, pair faux fur with denim, chunky knitwear, or leather. A short faux-fur vest worn with high-waisted pants or jeans accentuates the waist and creates a modern " Look" look.

Accessories can shine, too: a faux-fur hat or a clutch adds a touch of fluffiness without looking overdone.
