For the Love of Foxes

Recently I read a feature about a designer who felt they were "ethical" for trapping, killing and skinning foxes themselves for fashion. She loved them, she said and was grateful for their sacrifice so that she could stay warm and cosy - to say I was horrified would be an understatement.

In response I've gathered together this collection of cruelty-free items in honour of the fire and form of this  stunning animal - for truly fox fur only looks good on foxes!
