furcoatman Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 you have got to be kidding. i have not seen anything fake on her back. ever. and that is as real of a fox tail as you could get. the only reason she might ever say it is fake is to avoid the hassle from the stupid press who couldn't tell the difference if their life depended on it. can anyone post a pic of her wearing something undeniably fake fur? please do if you can find it.

samurman Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Many tabloids referred to the following jacket on Victoria Beckham as being faux fur, and apparently, this line was fed to them by VB's publicists, but I think it is real red fox: http://www.fashionising.com/clothing/b--Victoria-Beckham-avoids-PETA-wears-faux-fur-1528.html http://justjared.buzznet.com/2009/01/22/victoria-beckham-faux-fur/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 No doubt about it being real Red Fox. Shows most folk's total lack of knowledge of real fur. I have a Carhart hoodie lined with Blacklama very real Mink and most think at first it's fake Lot of reasons for that I suppose but I always make sur ethey know it's real.

By the way, in my experience, when you are wearing fur and people approach you in a criticizing way and ask about your fur, the second easiest way to get rid of such nuisances is to say that it is fake. That seems to cool down their misplaced conscience to an agreeable civilized level. The easiest way is to tell them that it is vintage, that you inherited it from your late mother or father, and wearing that fur helps you keep their memory alive.

W Well, maybe you inherited some of those furs from your late Aunt Theresa, Uncle Bob, or even your dear Granny Victoria!

samurman Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 One more thing and it deserves a separate post: when I saw the topic title and the poll heading, without ever looking into the attached photos in the first post, I was confused: is the poll question referring to VB or to her furs? My preferred answer would be "She is totally fake, whenever she poses she is always acting into the camera, but her furs are sure real!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FurLoverinFL Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Someone has to take an opposing view and I'll be the furst to jump on the 'fake' bandwagon. This is one of those furs that just looks way to perfect to me. FLinFL ...trust me, I'd be even more happy to be totally wrong on this one!

furcoatman Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 it looks too perfect so it's fake?!? uh................no. there has never been and will NEVER be a fake fur that looks that beautiful. and you can take that to the bank. sometimes it's awfully lonely on the bandwagon and this is one of those times.

Worker 11811 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 there has never been and will NEVER be a fake fur that looks that beautiful. and you can take that to the bank There is no man made fiber that can equal God's handy work! The main reason is because real hair has a rough cuticle covering the surface that, when viewed under a microscope, resembles fish scales. Man made fibers can not reproduce that scaly cuticle. See the following image below: (Clickable.) Note the difference between the four animal hair samples on the left. You can compare them to the silk, linen and cotton samples. You can see that even these natural fibers have a surface texture to them. But, when compared to the man made polyester fiber on the far left, there is a stark contrast. It is this microscopic surface texture which contributes to the unique tactile sensation you get when you touch fur. The man made fiber is completely smooth and has nothing to contribute to the tactile sensation when you touch it. I don't know for sure but I am going to guess that there is also something unique about the microscopic structure of the cuticle of seal fur which gives it that "squeak" when you rub it between your fingers like furcoatman describes. I'd like to see a microscopic image of seal fur so we can see if there is a visible reason for that effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKcoyote Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I have not commented previously in this topic as I was curious to what direction the comments would take. The best comment so far, to me at least, is: My preferred answer would be "She is totally fake, whenever she poses she is always acting into the camera, but her furs are sure real!" As one who works part time in a fur store, I have to agree with furcoatman, it is a very good quality *REAL* red fox tail. Most red fox tails I see are not quite as full and fluffy. but there is no doubt the tail is real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worker 11811 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 The bag and the fox tail are from Louis Vuitton. It's marked right on the brass finial on the tail.

samurman Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 A few recent pics 12-12 itsend, it's very interesting, because this fox fur bolero is the same one she wore last year, which the media called as "fake," probably after being fed as such by her publicist. Even the way she combined it into her overall outfit is the same: black all over (top, bottom, shoes, eyeglasses, and even her bag!). That's a good choice, as it provides the perfect background for the fiery red fox she is wearing on top. You don't often see VB wearing such a unique and easily identifiable piece from last year let alone last month! She must definitely be loving it!
