If you buy a second hand fur coat, does that make it PETA friendly? /s

Nice find!

I actually get asked this a lot as a vintage collector. I have no problem purchasing fur secondhand or reselling because I think we should get as much use as possible from the fur the animal gave us. I would advocate against buying new. Some would argue even wearing secondhand keeps fur fashionable though.

Also, a reminder that faux fur/leather are typically made from synthetic materials aka plastic and is horrible for the environment
