Faux fur is made from inorganic materials that have a synthetic origin. It is a blend of fibers like polyester, acrylic, and modacrylic. These are then cut into a shape and structure to resemble the feeling (and often look) of real fur. This means that faux fur is vegan. However, the big downside to faux fur is that it is not biodegradable. For faux fur, no animals are harmed or used.
