Oh, boy. PETA's going to hate me for this one, but what can I say? I love pony hair No, it's not actually made from ponies! I'm not that heartless.
Pony hair, otherwise known as haircalf or calf hair, is just a fashiony term for hair-on leather, usually from a cow. And real or faux, dyed solid or patterned, the luxe material is turning up on bags, shoes, coats and jewelry this fall.
Since I wear leather and eat meat, I have no qualms about pony hair, but I understand that it's a personal choice. Whether you're comfortable with the real stuff or choose to fake it, there are options out there for everyone. So, please, put down the red paint and take a look.
Ooh I know and love those flats ;) But seriously, pony hair is one of my faves. I just love the look!
ReplyDeleteHa! I saw the title and was so happy that I wasn't the only one to love pony hair elements. I'll love that stunning black jacket! :) x/Madison
ReplyDeleteWhether it's made from pony hair or cow hair, it's still made from animal hair. I'm torn about this one because I do own some items with this element, but it's hard to find a fake alternative. At any rate, those polka dot loafers are adorable!
ReplyDeletei wonder why they call it pony hair if its not from a real pony? strange! love the leopard collar best of all! happy birthday, chicky!

I have to admit that I love pony hair too!
ReplyDeleteI love the polka dot shoes! I'd probably go faux just for the price difference :)
