Sheepskin coats are one of the most common types of outerwear that does not lose its relevance. Recently, products with faux fur trim or, as it is also called, eco-fur, are more and more common, which is explained not by saving, but rather by the agitation of designers for the conservation of fauna.
In addition, such sheepskin coats look no less stylish, because high-quality synthetic fur is almost identical to natural, but the model is much cheaper.
Features and Benefits
The demand for faux fur coats is explained by the fact that they have a large number of advantages, which include:
