In the world of fashion, where trends come and go, one staple remains timeless: the faux fur coat. But in 2024, it’s not just about looking fabulous; it’s about making ethical and sustainable choices. The rise of eco-friendly faux fur coats means you can feel good about your wardrobe choices while making a powerful statement. From long and luxurious coats to bold animal prints, this guide will walk you through the best eco-friendly faux fur coat options and how to style them, all while supporting high-quality, sustainable brands that make a difference.

When you search “best faux fur coats for women,” you’re gonna get hit with all the major fast fashion brands out there. Shein, Temu, Fashion Nova, Topshop, BooHoo, ASOS, PrettyLittleThing, Zara, H&M, and of course Amazon. And look, I get it, plastered all over our computer screens are images of the latest trends for super cheap. The appeal of fast fashion can be real, especially when it seems like we are all financially struggling right now. In the past, I too, have succumbed to purchasing from these places. We all have. But, once I started writing fashion blogs and doing my research and discovered just how toxic fast fashion is, I stopped purchasing from them and never looked back. So instead of having 10 cheap and trendy pieces, I have 3 or 4 well made, high quality classic pieces. Just like everything in life, it's quality, not quantity. 

So, I’m asking you too, to consider the effects of purchasing from these places. And I don’t ask you lightly. I completely understand what it’s like to be on a budget. But I want you to consider the positives of buying from slow fashion. Not only will you be doing your part in bettering the planet and people’s lives, but you will purchase something of higher quality that you can enjoy for a lifetime. 

At SpiritHoods we strive to do our best for the planet by bringing you the highest quality faux fur fashion made from Oeko-tex certified materials and donating 10% of our net profits to helping animals and their habitats. We partner with several non profits that dedicate their lives to animal welfare. We have won the PETA Libby award three times and an ISPO Award.

So, in this article I wanted to give love to all the brands (like us here at SpiritHoods!) that are making strides in sustainable and eco-friendly cruelty-free faux fur coats. Brands that may not be showing up on the first page of google and may take you a few pages of scrolling to find, but are so damn worth it. Amazon certainly doesn’t need my help. They’re doing just fine. But these other brands deserve some big love. And I’m gonna give it to them. Let's celebrate eco friendly and sustainable luxury. One women's faux fur coat at a time.

1. Sustainable and Ethical Fashion Eco-friendly faux fur is a luxurious, cruelty-free alternative to real fur. High-quality options like those certified by Oeko-Tex are crafted from recycled materials and innovative fibers, reducing environmental impact. Choosing these options means saying “no” to animal cruelty and embracing a more compassionate way to stay stylish. Plus, it’s a chance to say goodbye to cheap, low-quality fast fashion that floods landfills. Just check out these images. You can see the landfills filled with fast fashion dumps from space!
2. Support Small Businesses and Slow Fashion While big players like Amazon and Shein offer low-cost options, they often sacrifice quality and ethics in the process. Fast fashion contributes heavily to pollution, excessive waste, and poor working conditions. By choosing sustainable brands, you’re not just buying a coat—you’re supporting smaller businesses that prioritize ethical practices and environmental responsibility.
3. Caring for the Workers High-quality faux fur coats are often produced in more ethical working environments. Brands committed to sustainability take steps to ensure that the workers who create these beautiful pieces are paid fairly and treated with respect. It’s crucial to consider the people behind the fashion and make a conscious choice to avoid supporting exploitative labor practices.

Several brands have been gaining recognition for creating eco-friendly and sustainable faux fur coats, offering stylish and cruelty-free options without compromising on luxury.

1. Stella McCartney is a pioneer in the sustainable fashion space, offering a line called "Fur-Free Fur." Stella’s faux fur coats are made using recycled materials and innovative fibers, ensuring they are not only animal-friendly but also eco-conscious.
2. House of Fluff is another notable brand that focuses on creating luxurious faux fur pieces using environmentally friendly materials. They develop their BIOFUR™ in-house and utilize upcycled fabrics to minimize waste, offering chic designs without compromising their ethical values.
3. Issy London crafts faux fur coats using recycled plastic bottles, transforming waste into luxurious, soft garments. Their focus on repurposing plastics aims to minimize the environmental impact while offering elegant designs.

These brands emphasize sustainability by using recycled or innovative materials and maintaining ethical production processes, proving that fashion can be both chic and eco-conscious.

1. Pelush NYC aims to redefine luxury faux fur with its elegant designs made from Italian-sourced materials. Their products are crafted to be luxurious alternatives to real fur while being eco-friendly.
2. LaSeine&Moi hand make all their garments in Paris. LaSeine&Moi offers faux fur coats that bring both fun and luxury into ethical fashion. They have been at the forefront of making cruelty-free, fashion-forward faux fur outerwear.
3. SpiritHoods is known for their playful and bold animal inspired designs,  creating fun and whimsical faux fur coats from Oeko-Tex certified materials. 

These brands are all committed to producing stylish and high-quality faux fur coats while maintaining eco-friendly practices, making them excellent choices for sustainable fashion.  And if you ever want to check for yourself, go to the Good On You website to check for eco-friendly scores. 

And one more thing, some brands do not have the level of transparency that are discussed in this article, so they often will mislabel their REAL fur as FAKE fur. This is extremely unethical, but there are brands out there that do it. Especially since many states have been banning the sale of genuine real fur. So if you are unsure with a brand, please call their customer service and ask. And if you are still unsure, check this article out on how to tell the difference between real genuine fur and fake fur. It's so important to be aware of these scams.

Women's long faux fur coats are the epitome of glamour. They exude luxury and elegance, perfect for formal events or just making an impression. Look for options made with high-quality, sustainable materials. Pair a long faux fur coat with sleek trousers and heeled boots for a sophisticated look.
