By Brenda Hayes


The word faux is originated from a French word which means false. This means to describe something that is only an imitation or is fake. Manufacturers for these kind of objects must attempt to create products that would resemble an original item as closely as possible. But there are some products which are only made to look faux but are really original, this is because of debates that happen concerning the over use of real 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 use for clothing, it is also used for stuffed animal, fashion accessories, and some home decors like for pillows and bedding. A real fur is thicker compared to fake furs. And because of its thickness, it would require a special sewing machine for it to be produced.
