Recent years have seen a resurgence in consumer demand and social acceptance of fur fashion on the streets, at the same time as institutions like Fashion Weeks and magazines ban fur. From vintage finds to bespoke fashion, fur is a hit among young consumers who want a natural and sustainable option. This panel will explore the ongoing revival of the fur trade, and its benefits for communities across Canada.
