Fashion Trends On Faux Fur Throw

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.

There are many varieties of ways in producing faux materials. One of which are finishes, these are made out from marble dust. Marbles and some other types of stones are finished with the use of sponging, spatter dash, or feather streaking techniques. Fake furs are becoming popular because of the animal welfare promotion. So faux fur throw products now are being produced as an alternative for real clothing and considered as animal friendly.

Aside from its purpose in some clothing, these are also use in stuffed animals, home decorations such as bedding and pillows, and as well as for fashion accessories. Real furs are a bit thicker. So for this reason, special sewing machines for its production are used.

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.

Modern technologies have helped in improving the factors of quality production and this include its appearance. Some researchers have said that there will be more productions of these materials are to be developed. These materials have improved its quality, look, and lesser cost. New techniques for faster and more efficient production are being investigated.

Since there is a continuous growth of the demand of these products, it would not be easy for a person in distinguishing faux from natural. And these may be one reason for the increase in the demand. Lastly, the manufacturers must strive in producing products that are of higher quality but have lesser cost.
