“K-Dash By Kardashian” Clothing Line Features Faux Trimmed Vests

To keep up with the Kardashians, you’re going to have to stop wearing fur.
Sisters Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and mom Kris Jenner have partnered with Ginny Hilfiger to create K-Dash by Kardashian, a line of clothing featuring belts, handbags, faux fur trimmed vests and more.
K-Dash by Kardashian is set to debut on QVC as part of Fashion’s Night Out, live from New York’s Rockefeller Center on Friday, September 10th 9PM EST.
K-Dash isn’t expensive, with prices ranging from $20-$240. Cheaper, ethical fashions are always a plus, and with the Truth in Fur Labeling Act making its way through Congress, we hope to one day be able to purchase anything faux off the rack with confidence no animal has died for it.
Although the Fur Products Labeling Act created in 1951 required garments made, imported or sold in the United States to disclose whether the product contained real fur, a loophole allows for items at $150 or less to bypass this rule. That means technically, as of now, you may never know if that little trim was more than just a shave for some raccoon or other animal.
The Humane Society has conveniently drafted a chart listing how many animals go into clothing priced at $150 or less. A fur item of $50, for example, may contain up to 3 Arctic, grey, or red foxes and a $150 item may take an entire bear.
The bill to close this loophole, introduced by Jim Moran (D-VA) and Mary Bono Mack (R-CA) in 2009, has cleared the House and is up for debate in the Senate.
