10 Best Faux Fur Coats for Women (that we didn't make)

2023 marked a momentous occasion for animal lovers fighting against cruelty as California officially banned real fur sales starting January 1, 2023. Fast forward to 2025, and the global momentum hasn’t slowed one bit - more than a dozen countries and U.S. states have enacted or proposed similar bans, with major fashion houses continuing to ditch real fur for good. From luxury designers to indie brands, cruelty-free fashion is now the standard, not the exception.

And if you’re ready to upgrade your look with something warm, bold, and 100% animal-friendly, you can browse the SpiritHoods Women’s Faux Fur Coat Collection or explore the SpiritHoods Men’s Faux Fur Coat Collection for cozy, cruelty-free options that turn heads all season long.

In the spirit of celebration - and because there are approximately a bazillion brands joining the faux-fur movement - we’re sharing some of our favorite cruelty-free women’s faux fur coats and fake-fur fashion coats out there.

Faux fur (aka fake fur) is a synthetic blend designed to replicate the look and feel of real fur - minus the cruelty. Thanks to major textile innovations, modern faux fur is softer, warmer, and more sustainable than ever. Many 2025 collections now incorporate recycled polyester and plant-based fibers, making fake fur both eco-friendly and ethical.

For a more in depth look, check out our guide on shopping for faux fur.  

If you’re still skeptical that synthetic fur can rival the real thing, it’s all about fiber quality and craftsmanship. Modern technology has made faux fur nearly indistinguishable from the real deal - often even better in durability and color options.

Common materials include:

• Acrylic

• Modacrylic

• Polyester

• Recycled blends (a growing 2025 trend!)

High-quality fake fur minimizes shedding, maintains its shape, and feels luxuriously soft to the touch.

We may be your favorite faux fur brand when shopping for women's faux fur coats, but we know we're not the only fur-free coat makers out there that are entirely vegan and cruelty-free.

We hope the following list of best faux fur coats for women will help you decide what magnificent fake fur beauty to wear at your next fabulous night on the town.

The fur-free movement is ongoing, and we have plenty of work to do. It takes all of us to protect the lives of so many animals being barbarically and inhumanely killed just to be worn.

We hope you'll join us and others in our activism for global change in making real fur in fashion obsolete! By educating yourself, sharing with others, and donating your time and efforts, we can be the voice of these fur babies.

We’re proud to see so many powerhouse labels joining the fur-free cause, from Prada and Versace to Chanel and Calvin Klein. Supporting brands that take a stand helps end the demand for animal fur once and for all.

SpiritHoods also partners with organizations like Panthera and the Snow Leopard Conservancy, donating 10% of net profits to help protect endangered species and their habitats.

We’ve been part of this movement since day one. SpiritHoods creates luxury women's faux-fur coats, hoods, and clothing that allow you to look fierce while standing up for wildlife. Every purchase directly supports animal conservation and helps make real fur obsolete.

Wear your faux fur with pride - because when you choose SpiritHoods, you’re not just wearing a coat… you’re wearing a cause.
