@CleanCityBird

Yeah, day all soooo jellus of U hun! 😆

Ginlfixit · 21/07/2024 13:00

You didn't kill anything but the animals still died so that you could wear it. However being it's from another era essentially your granny killed the mink. Hope that helps. 😉

TealPoet · 21/07/2024 12:59

I think fur is dreadful (and YES I have been vegan for years), but I think it’s good for vintage pieces to be worn. Those poor lives shouldn’t now go to waste.

fatphalange · 21/07/2024 12:58

I would assume it was fake. Can't imagine decent people wear real fur. I'd think you were a bit weird, wouldn't be jealous but I'd feel sorry for you wearing a 'fur' and not a weather appropriate jacket for the time of year.

I blame the terrible weather for all these nonsense post-and-run threads.

No doubt that it will suddenly appear in The Sun or The Daily Mail.

Probably.

Will be interesting to see if the OP comes back. Her other thread was batshit.

Sweaty Cruella De Vil nipping to Asda is gonna get some attention.

I’ve a fur coat that I inherited from my Grandmother. It’s a full length mink coat & I absolutely love it. I even wear it in summer.
As we’ve been having terrible weather I’ve been using it, and for the first time people are hating on me for wearing fur. They throw insults that I’m an animal killer, cruel, support the fur industry- on and on it goes.
I think it’s just jealousy. Others would love to own such a statement piece.
Are they all wrong and I’m right, I have a right to wear what I want, I didn’t kill anything & the coat comes from another era. Actually I’m saving it from landfill.

I had almost the same problem when I wore a gorgeous Beaver Lamb coat I inherited from my mother. I couldn’t cope with the abuse, and a local Auction house sold it for me.
Much later, I had a coat with a beautiful faux fur collar and I’m sure only an expert could tell it wasn’t real. I felt a million dollars in it, so that was great.
I am fully in favour of the ban on fur now but this was the 50s and 60s and sadly, we knew no better.
Ironically, before I met him, my husband owned a Mink farm!

queenofthewild · 21/07/2024 12:56

I absolutely would never buy new fur. But I have a white fur cape in my wardrobe that DM bought on Carnaby street in the 60s. It's so warm and cosy but I don't dare wear it because of people's reactions.

ZoeLoey · 21/07/2024 12:54

You're wearing a dead animal for "style" you deserve any hate you get,and more. Shame on you.

SeeSeeRider · 21/07/2024 12:51

BTW - I asked my husband for an animal skin coat, and he bought me a donkey jacket! Ha ha ha ha 😅(I'll get my coat...)

Is this a joke? Of course people can be offended.
like using ivory or anything else

It reads like a joke. It doesn't read like a post would.

HoppingPavlova · 21/07/2024 12:50

Nope, not jealous, and wouldn’t be caught dead in it, because it’s real owner was.

SeeSeeRider · 21/07/2024 12:50

My darling husband thought it was 'fur coat, no knickers', and I think it should be 'red hat, no knickers' - which one of us is right? Or are we both wrong?

These are the same people who will eat meat, wear leather shoes and use leather furniture.

Show quote history

But the point is about the fur trade in general and how the animals are killed. Meat-eating is a totally different aspect of killing animals and in this country is done in a humane way (apart of course from Halal killing process). The fur trade is totally inhumane.

That looks like something off BooHoo or PLT.

Martinohmygod · 21/07/2024 12:47

This is nothing new I was in a bank early 90’s and a lady strutted in wearing a full length fur coat.She was told off by older ladies in their 70’s.

Crumpleton · 21/07/2024 12:47

Can guarantee I'm not remotely jealous of your mink, or any other fir clothing/items anyone chooses to own.

It's just my opinion that animal fir only really ever looks good on the animal it belongs to.

CascaChan · 21/07/2024 12:47

@Growlybear83 oh please can I have it so I can wear it and ponce around the house pretending to be rich folk whilst singing the Cruella de Ville song when I’m home alone?

That's so ''cheap looking'' ...Revolting.

On the actual animal , it's beautiful. But that jacket is seriously grim.

Poor Snow Leopard or whatever was killed to make that coat.

Killingoffmyflowersonebyone · 21/07/2024 12:44

I imagine people look at you and think what I would think 'what a tit.'

From the way you're twittering on, I think you think it's some sort of badge of honour - showing how much better or richer, you are than other people - but in actual fact the sorts of people who have coats like that don't typically need to crow abut it.

It's called class, OP. Try and find some.

Shefliesonherownwings · 21/07/2024 12:28

This is a joke right?? You’re not actually being serious about this. You can’t genuinely think people are jealous over a fur coat??!! It couldn’t possible be because people are disgusted at you wearing fur itself and the suffering that mink went through to be made into a piece of clothing? Catch yourself on.

I would like to own silver fox long coat but cannot afford it.
If I saw someone in it I'd be jealous but also would not complain to that person l8ke a child

LittleRedYarny · 21/07/2024 12:44

Disappointing, was expecting this to be about a cat being moaned at for loving leaving their fur all over their servants rags.

Tbh the fact that you have to come on here to ask why, says an awful lot about your character. I wouldn't even attempt to explain why, because I just don't think you'd get it. And of course you can wear what you want, just like people can also judge you if they want to.

ForeverDelayedEpiphany · 21/07/2024 12:42

Adviceneeeeded · 21/07/2024 12:38

@ForeverDelayedEpiphany just out of interest. Is that 26k in GBP or their own currency? It's a crazy amount if GBP/euro. But if it's alaskan currency it's about £400. Not relevant just being nosey!

Very good question, I'm not sure I'm guessing it's in their currency so if so, it would make it less likely to be a obscene amount of money. Even though £400 is a lot, I don't think anyone would pay £26k for any item of clothing 🤔

People won't know you inherited it - they'll assume you bought it, with the money going into the fur trade which as I'm sure you know, is disgustingly cruel. And when they look at you they will just wonder how many beautiful creatures had to die to make one stupid coat for a human who doesn't need it.

These are the same people who will eat meat, wear leather shoes and use leather furniture.
