I'd rather honor the animal than see a decent fur landfilled.<br />I currently own three Mouton and one Raccoon. All vintage. I LOVE them. The Mouton's (sheepskin)are swing coats (timeless)from the late 50's and the Raccoon is a stroller coat from the 80's. <br /> I grew up on a working sheep farm, so maybe that makes it easier for me?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101626409720349787.post-11936924162549038492009-11-20T17:22:09.587+00:002009-11-20T17:22:09.587+00:00Thanks, Belle and Milarca.

Was at a lunch today where one of the participants thought it was incredibly strange to eat (at a different lunch) in a room filled with dead animal's (mounted) heads. This wouldn't bother me at all. And I'll wear leather forever. Silk, no prob. Feathers, sure. <br /><br />But fur leaves me conflicted. And I have to say I envy both of you, because it is so very lovely to have on.Christa Weilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02898114269723629684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101626409720349787.post-64091545187226409812009-11-19T14:53:59.115+00:002009-11-19T14:53:59.115+00:00I justify vintage fur because the animals theat it...I justify vintage fur because the animals theat it came from would have met their natural death by now anyways.

I just wish that I could afford a sheared mink coat.Belle de Villehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14045827018848979761noreply@blogger.com
