Faux Fur at Kzell Paris
-
Mink Effect
The most classic and elegant of fur imitations. It is particularly appreciated for its sophisticated and timeless look.
- Texture and Hair: It is distinguished by its short and very dense hair. Incredibly soft and silky to the touch, it has a smooth and shiny appearance that catches the light.
- Density: This is a high-end faux fur, often heavier than faux sheepskin, as its density is very high to imitate animal fur.
- Colors: It is mainly found in natural shades of brown, beige, ecru and gray.
- Warmth and comfort: Its high density provides excellent thermal insulation. A faux mink coat will keep you very warm during the cold months, while remaining comfortable to wear.
- Versatility: Although often associated with formal looks, faux mink can be styled in different ways to suit more casual outfits.
-
Patterned Mink Effect
The basic characteristics of faux mink remain the same, but the work on the material (horizontal striped cutouts, herringbone pattern, reliefs, etc.) adds an additional visual dimension. It's a way to add originality while retaining the elegance of mink.
The advantages of Patterned Furs:
- Originality: They allow you to stand out from a plain faux fur coat while retaining the elegance of faux mink.
- Structure: Patterns, especially stripes and chevrons, can add structure and depth to the silhouette.
- Versatility: Depending on the pattern, the coat can be worn for a wide variety of occasions, from casual chic to a big night out.

Sheep or Sherpa Effect
Distinguished by its denser, curlier appearance than Mongolian fur, it is the perfect material for a cozy, relaxed look.
- Texture and Hair: Sherpa fur has short, dense, curly hairs. It resembles the appearance of natural sheep's wool.
- Softness: It is incredibly soft and fluffy to the touch, creating a very comforting effect.
- Appearance: Textured and voluminous. They often come in neutral, warm colors like off-white, beige, camel, or brown, but also come in brighter shades.
- Warmth and comfort: Excellent thermal insulator. It provides exceptional warmth while remaining relatively lightweight.
- Versatility: Its casual look makes it easy to integrate into many styles, from casual to urban.

Mongolian Sheep Effect
Highly appreciated for its unique finish and exceptional feel.
- Texture and Hair: It is distinguished by its long hairs which are naturally curly, fine and silky. This texture creates a fluffy and very voluminous effect, which provides a feeling of warmth and comfort.
- Softness: It is renowned for its incredible softness to the touch, far superior to that of classic faux furs.
- Colors: It can be dyed in a wide range of colors for bolder pieces.
- Lightness and warmth: It is both warm and light, making it comfortable to wear without weighing down the silhouette. Its density allows it to effectively retain heat.
Why Faux Fur instead of Real Fur?
Animal welfare
It's a vegan and ethical alternative to real fur, allowing you to dress without harming animals.
Sustainability
Faux fur is more durable over time. It does not dry out in the light and is not affected by moths or humidity.
Interview
Unlike real fur, which requires special care, faux fur is easier to maintain. It can often be hand-washed or machine-washed (on a delicate cycle), and it retains its shine longer.
Cost
Faux fur is much more affordable than real fur.
Versatility
Faux fur can be dyed in an endless variety of colors and worked into many different textures (mink, sheep, fox, etc.), which offers greater creative freedom in design.
