I confess: I love fur. Fur is my favorite material. Not the fake kind, which feels like a toy. But real, luxurious fur. It is a material with a rich and storied history. It's also incredibly warm, and has an opulent appeal that synthetic materials cannot match. Before you clutch your pearls and start grabbing at your fur, I am talking about vintage. You can find vintage fur in thrift shops or inherit it from your grandmother.

Louis Vuitton’s latest collection featuring Pharrell Williams’ ingenious designs brought fur back into fashion. It's time for us to rediscover our love of vintage fur and celebrate its opulent appeal and sustainability.

Fur, Dear, is Forever

Gucci and Stella McCartney turned fur into taboo by labeling it cruel and outdated. Vintage fur is another animal. It's all about reclaiming the past, and about the stories that are woven into every stitch. Imagine yourself slipping on a vintage coat, the type Marilyn Monroe would have worn. You'll instantly feel connected to the glamour of old.

You feel like a star the moment you wear a vintage fur. The weight and drape of a fur jacket makes you feel like a movie star. It's the ultimate in luxury. A nod to an era when fashion was all about quality, durability, and timeless elegance.

Sustainability Nod

Vintage fur is a beacon for sustainability in an age of fast fashion, disposable trends and disposable clothing. Vintage fur is more eco-friendly than synthetic fur which can shed microplastics, and cause environmental degradation. You are recycling when you wear vintage fur. You are giving a piece new life that would otherwise end up on a landfill.

LVMH understands the power fur has. They understand that luxury isn't just about following trends, but setting them. Pharrell's bold use of menswear mink fur is testament to this philosophy. This is a challenge for the anti-fur campaign, and a reminder to fashion that it should not be restricted by fear.

Timeless appeal

Vintage fur is about more than just sustainability and luxury. It's also about timeless appeal. Fashion is cyclical and old fashion is always in style. Fur is a great way to remind us that style transcends the ages. Wearing a vintage coat is more than just a fashion statement. It's a statement of history.

Fur is the outerwear equivalent of the little black gown. It is versatile, elegant and always stylish. You can wear it with jeans on a casual outing or draped over a cocktail gown for a night of fun. Fur can elevate an outfit and transform it into something extraordinary.

Embracing Opulence

Let's talk opulence. Fur is a true symbol of opulence for me, as a woman who loves the finer things. It's the way fur feels against the skin and the way that it catches light. This is what makes it luxurious. It's an experience that is tactile and sensory, which synthetic materials cannot replicate.

When I wear my fur, I feel like I'm a queen. When you drape yourself in something so beautifully crafted, there is an unmistakable sense of confidence. This is a celebration for the craftsmanship of those who created these masterpieces. Vintage fur is an artifact that demonstrates their skills. It's a work of wearable art.

The Comeback

Pharrell Williams did more than design a collection. He reignited a discussion. It's a bold move to use mink fur for men's clothing. It declares that fur belongs in fashion. Fur is no longer considered outdated or offensive. It's more a reminder to be bold, innovative and luxurious in your fashion choices.

LVMH can change perceptions and challenge the antifur sentiment that has permeated the industry. By embracing fur,
