As long as this new synthetic fur is cheaper than the real thing... If I'm to believe a random outrage post I've seen on Facebook, apparently real fur is cheaper at scale than synthetic, so some companies ended up selling clothes from real fur but advertised them as synthetic, to cash in on the extra money you can get from people caring about animal suffering.

I would imagine it really depends on the fur. No doubt a squirrel fur product can be very cheap, while lion fire is going to be on the pricey side.
