Faux fur fabric is a 100% polyester textile that imitates the appearance of natural fur, standing out with its plush, fur-like surface and varied pile lengths. The polyester fibres fixed to the knitted or woven backing can be formed in different lengths and densities, which determines the visual character of the material. It is suitable for making coats, waistcoats, collars, fashion accessories, decorative blankets, decorative cushions, costumes, theatrical props, plush figures and furniture upholstery. It is available in a wide range of colours and patterns, enabling the realisation of various apparel and decorative projects. For costumes and linings, the shorter-pile sherpa fleece is the other common choice.
FAUX FUR FABRIC DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Faux fur
Faux fur is a textile material made from synthetic fibres that imitates the appearance and feel of natural fur. Faux fur based on 100% polyester, with its characteristic longer or shorter pile, dense surface, is considered a decorative and eye-catching material. The textile's structure generally consists of polyester fibres attached to a knitted or woven base, which create a fur-like effect. Faux fur can be widely used for making apparel products, fashion accessories, home textiles, decorative elements, costumes, theatrical props, toys, plush figures and furniture upholstery.
Composition and structure
The base material of faux fur in this category is 100% polyester. The polyester fibres are attached to a carrier textile base, which can be knitted or woven in structure. The fibres are shaped to different lengths and densities, so that a particularly dense-effect, dense-effect and long-pile fur-like surface can be created.
The fibres are often also given subsequent treatment, such as combing or cutting, shearing, which helps create an appearance similar to natural fur. The surface of faux fur can be a short-pile, medium-length or long-pile variant, which determines the material's visual character and usage possibilities. If you need a shorter, curly-pile surface that is easier to sew, sherpa fleece is the next step.
Material characteristics
Faux fur textile has several properties that make it suitable for making decorative and functional textile products. The polyester fibres provide a resistant structure, while the surface remains soft and dense-feeling.
- dense, fur-like surface
- variants with different pile lengths
- soft feel
- decorative appearance
- good shape retention
- wide range of colours and patterns
The material's structure allows faux fur to appear in textile products of different styles and functions, from the fashion industry to interior decoration.
Applications
Faux fur is a widely used base material in the apparel and fashion industry. It is often used for making coats, waistcoats, collars, hats or various fashion accessories, since the material provides a characteristic appearance and texture.
We also often encounter faux fur-based products in the home textile sector. For example, it is used for making decorative blankets, decorative cushions or furniture covers, where the eye-catching surface and soft feel play an important role. For blankets and decorative cushions, coral fleece sheds less and is easier to sew.
Faux fur is also a common base material in costume and theatrical prop manufacturing. The variants with different pile lengths and colours allow for making characters, animal costumes or decorative props.
This textile is also used in the manufacturing of toys and plush figures, since the soft surface and dense fibre structure fit well with this type of product. In addition, it can also be used in furniture upholstery, mainly for creating a decorative or special surface effect. In toy manufacturing, plush fabrics are easier to sew by machine, which is why they are more common there.
Material selection considerations
When choosing faux fur, it is worth considering the pile length, the density of the fibres, and the thickness of the base material's carrier layer. Shorter-pile variants are often more suitable for apparel or decorative purposes, while longer-pile faux fur can provide a more eye-catching surface for costumes or home textiles.
Colour and pattern can also be an important consideration, as faux fur can be made in numerous natural or fantasy colours. For shorter-pile, fluffy surfaces, it is worth browsing among the fleece fabrics.
