Faux originally comes from the French word that means false. The meaning of it describes a thing that is literally false, fake, or simulation. To be able to create this kind of product, manufacturers will attempt on creating imitation designs of the certain product that would really look like the original item. But some manufacturers and also the users would rather choose on making the original item look like it is fake to avoid some controversies regarding on the over using of animal furs.

Some types of stones are being finished with spatter dash, sponging, or feather streaking techniques. Fake furs became popular because of its promotion for the animal welfare, thus, faux fur throw is being produced as an animal friendly and an alternative to the original clothing.

These are also resistant to smoke, heat, and sunlight and it cannot be easily attacked by insects because it can resist to mildews. It also dries quickly because of its low absorbency. Silk, mohair, and wool are also natural fabrics used for the production because it improves the look of the garment.
