It is popular because it does not require animal products and often costs less than its counterpart. However, it is almost always lower quality than the real thing; it usually sheds and does not hold in as much warmth as true fur.

Not all fake fur is used in clothing. Faux fur is very commonly used to make toys (especially teddy bears and other stuffed animals) and home decorations like pillows. It is also sometimes used for craft projects because it can be sewn on a sewing machine (real fur is generally better quality but requires a special machine or hand sewing; also, an awl may be required to sew it).

There are no synthetic materials yet to achieve the same attributes from natural fur (especially wolf) from keeping snow from melting and re-freezing on the fur's fiber filaments; this is very important especially in hiking, mountain climbing, skiing and other outdoor activities which are done in extreme conditions.
