Faux Fur!!!

October 6th, 2006 @ 12:28 pm by Mrs. Butterfly

I love saying that….faux fur. Anyway, since my wedding is in November, it’s going to be freaking cold here in NYC. And I am having some pictures taken outside (unless it rains). So I have been searching high and low for a faux fur stole to wear. Personally, I would prefer a fur coat, but then it won’t look “bridal.”

Unfortunately, I am too poor to buy real fur :( so shopping at places like Sak’s or Bloomingdale’s is out of the question. My next venue of choice? The Internet, of course!

The one thing that I found was that faux fur stoles or capelets are sold quite frequently on Ebay. Now, I don’t have anything against Ebay, but I am very wary of buying clothes, especially bridal clothes from Ebay. But they do have some nice ones for a great bargain.

Just type in Faux Fur Stole into the search line and you’ll get a ton of choices.

But like I said, I have a thing about buying clothes from Ebay. So I found this other site yesterday, and I actually talked to one of the people who work there.

Faux Mink Capelet
$58.00
Available in 5 sizes and 5 colors.

This company is located in California and offers a full 100% refund if you don’t like it. The gentleman that I spoke with did not know if I should order a size XS or S, but asked me to call back today to speak with another lady who would be able to tell me. I love retailers who don’t force you to buy things right away. He really seemed sincere and did not want to give me a wrong answer.

I will be purchasing this later today. Yay! Another thing checked off my to-do list! Also later today, I am picking up my wedding dress and getting my first fitting! Stay tuned for posts!

hey there. I actually borrowed my friend’s fur wrap from David’s Bridal for my chilly wedding day. I have to say I felt very regal in it.

I bought one very similar to the 2nd one at a bridal consignment store in Minneapolis, they also carry brand new accessories and the wrap was new. I bet lots of bridal stores will have them as it gets chillier.

Sorry to say, but I am dissapointed that you would even consider wearing real fur :(

I hope you find a lovely FAUX one and forget that you even stopped for a second to think otherwise.

not sure if this is too late (i had to wait for her to get back to me) but i know a girl through xanga who works at a fur showroom in the city. her emails are excerpted below, let me know if you end up getting in touch with her, but hopefully the faux capelet you ordered looks beautiful =)

> > it’s a beautiful white mink/fox shrug that would be perfect for weddings.
> > you can come by my showroom if you’d like or i can email you some pictures.

they range between $500-$950. these prices are wholesale and are negotiable.

I also lend out minks as long as they are in the same condition when it is returned for $70-90 a day.
