Urban Outfitters Sold Real Fur As Fake–How To Determine Real Fur From Fake (Video)

It was recently discovered that Urban Outfitters was selling real fur under a faux label.
An unfortunate event, as this store could have been trusted by many animal lovers due to its popularity. It’s even on the Humane Society’s Fur-Free Retailers list. However, Urban Outfitters has acknowledged the mistake, citing the product vendor’s factory as the source of the labelling issue and insists it remains committed to keeping its pledge not to sell fur items.
Ethical fashion blogger Joshua Katcher, who also blogs at TheDiscerningBruite.com, purchased the item from Urban Outfitters, the “S Loves C by Spring & Clifton Faux Fur Cardigan,” and put the garment through several test that can determine if something is real or fake fur.
