Fur back in fashion

My dear departed friend gave me her fur coat which was acquired by shady means, she ran a drinking club, say no more 🤫. It's a farmed mink and I'm at a loss what to do with it, at present it's in the loft of doom with a raggedy old rabbit fur coat my daughter gave me. Maybe donate to charity if they even take old fur coats.

I inherited a musquash fur coat, it must be 100+ years old. It's very soft and very warm, but I haven't worn it out for 40 years.
I guess fashion is cyclable, maybe even real fur, but not for me.

1) I don’t necessarily believe it is
However
2) if it is “farmed” I don’t see why it is any worse than for instance leather shoes
BUT
3) I believe serious questions need to be asked re WHERE and WHAT animal it comes from.
Given the Chinese dog meat trade I personally would not trust anything from there.

Does anyone ever wear fur?

Does anyone have fur jackets or coats, languishing.
Now fur coats are back on the catwalks and for sale
on ebay, in a cold winter would you wear yours.
