We're phasing it out. While we currently offer a limited selection of vintage fur items, Coeva Vintage is committed to sustainable fashion practices and does not support or condone the fur industry. We choose to honour the life that was unfortunately taken, by using the garment for its intended purpose.

Our focus is on providing sustainable options and we're mindful of the complexities in choosing between vintage fur and new synthetic or natural fiber garments, considering both animal welfare and environmental factors. New items made from synthetic fibers increase petroleum reliance, while cotton production is water-intensive.

Producing one kilogram of cotton fabric requires 10,000 liters of water, which translates to around 8,000 liters for a single pair of new cotton jeans. Vintage fashion stands as a more sustainable choice, offering a way to reduce waste and minimize the demand for resource-intensive new garments.
