Vegan Fur Jacket - Design Stories


Vegan Fur Jacket - Design Stories

The leinwände's fur jackets have a moderately casual mood and update everyday outfits.

The designs and textures have evolved over several seasons starting in A/W 2018.

This fur outerwear is a bit different from fur outerwear that is too formal such as collarless jacket-type and vest-type and the details are simple while focusing on the length and silhouette, so the design allows you to fully enjoy the charm of the fur, which was produced on a special order basis.

In this time of Design Stories, we are introducing one of leinwände's iconic items, Vegan Fur Jacket.




Animal fur is said to be the first clothing worn by humans.

As fashion culture has evolved, people have long loved these items not only as functional warm clothing, but also as items that sometimes express their noble selves or add some spice to their outfits with the various types of animal hair textures. The leinwände designer also says that until a dozen years ago he used to wear her favorite very old vintage fur coat with great care.

In recent years, however, the use of real fur has come under scrutiny worldwide from the perspective of animal welfare and the environmental burden, and it is a fact that the material is no longer adapted to our contemporary wardrobe.
In London, where leinwände's designers are based, anything related to sustainability and ecology is commonplace, and she herself does not have to look for them, but they naturally come to her attention. In such a life in London, she naturally began to think about what she can do as a person who creates clothing.

Since the establishment of the brand, leinwände has also been trying to choose sustainable materials little by little, step by step, and to make new clothes that take advantage of their characteristics.

The Vegan Fur Jacket introduced here is one such item.




The value because it is not real

The fur used for the Vegan Fur Jacket is a specially ordered material from ECOPEL®︎.
Since the very beginning of the brand, when it was still difficult to choose sustainable materials,
ECOPEL®︎ has been a top-class quality manufacturer.


This fur is made of 40% plant-derived materials, mainly corn-derived polyester "Sorona®︎" and hemp.
The dry texture of the plant-derived fur and its moving waves add a casual mood nicely.




This season's fur is inspired by the fur of the long-haired raccoon. However, by adding a bit more red than a real raccoon, we were able to create a fur that represents an animal that doesn't really exist and can fit naturally with the style because it is not real.

In order to create a vegan fur with the quality like real fur, we are particular about the dyeing method.
Because uniform dyeing inevitably results in a fake look, the tips, middle, and root of the fur are carefully dyed in different colors, and the designer says that this exquisite color expression is the most difficult part of vegan fur design.

Vegan fur is also easier to make it last longer than real fur.
It is a piece that can be used for a long time until it becomes vintage.




HOW TO STYLE
- Vegan Fur Jacket -


leinwände designer recommends wearing it simply with items of ruggedness such as denim bottoms or work pants.To enjoy the texture of fur, she also recommends pairing this item with a woven item that is sleek or a bit firmer to balance out the materials.
The designer says that in the future she wants to be an old lady who wears Regal leather slip-on loafers of these kinds of styles on her feet.
