We've been developing high end faux fur for more than 300 top fashion brands which have stopped using the real fur.
No brand, no company, no institution can argue against the fact that faux fur should replace all animal furs.
Everybody is instinctively attached to the sweet feeling of animal fur and its natural beauty. However many are appalled by the way animal fur is produced in factory farms. Thanksfully today, technologies and innovations allow us to have new ways to design amazing and ethical alternatives to fur.
Long an advocate for innovation, and committed to environmental protection and corporate social responsibility, ECOPEL aims to make a difference in the textile and apparel industry and wants to add its positive contribution to the way fashion is created.
ECOPEL is a global faux fur textile and apparel manufacturer with a vertically integrated supply chain that straddles from fabric to garments, and a workforce of 950 people, with manufacturing facilities in China and sales offices servicing markets all around the world.
For more than 15 years ECOPEL's engineers have been looking for innovative solutions for ease of maintenance, cleaning and all aspects regarding the softness, warmth and durability of faux fur.
