Cruelty Free?!

Hi guys!

I just wanted to address something that I've seen a lot of discussion of when it comes to Spirithoods...the use of FUR.
The official site and social media groups get asked (and  angrily called out) quite a bit, that they should not be using fur, and it makes them far from animal friendly...

Honestly, I wish people would do just a little more research into things before they go parading around, accusing and insulting.

Let me be clear. Spirithoods do *not* use real fur in any of their products. In fact, they are well into a lot of causes to help animals, which is very clear when you click on the ABOUT section on their site.


"SpiritHoods brings the adventurous Spirit of the wild into everyday life while helping to protect endangered animals. We encourage creating new experiences, giving back and community interaction through self expression. All Authentic Spirithoods ® are made in Los Angeles California, with the highest quality faux fur (fake fur). You can rest assured knowing that no animals are harmed during the creation of our products. In 2011 & 2012 we were honored to receive Peta Libby Award for Best Animal-friendly Clothing Company."

My guess is that people don't really understand the meaning of the word Faux, or perhaps just see and connect Fur>>Faux>>>Fox.

I can assure you that, that is not the case at all.
Faux is in fact an old French word, I believe, that actually means Fake, False, Imitation, etc.
Faux Fur is actually made from various Synthetic Fibres, which have caused enough debate on their ethicality.

Now, please feel free to check out any and all the links provided to get a decent idea of the materials used, and of course, it will always be an individual's choice on whether they prefer animal-based products, or cruelty free...but please, if you decide to purchase Spirithoods or not, let it be for the right reasons.

Thanks for reading!
