Know for sure that it is faux.
There were stories in the news a few years ago about fur that was sold as ‘faux’ was actually real and from domesticated animals that many of us highly respect.
A giveaway of the authenticity of the fur can be assumed if:
Check the ‘scalp’ of the fur to see if the backing is sewn in.
Check the ends of the fur hairs as faux will most likely be more exact in length.
Look at the thickness of the hairs as faux hairs will be more alike one another.
Look for tapering on the ends of the hairs as real hair or fur will come to a ‘tapered’ end rather than an evenly cut straight end.
The Humane Society says that if you were to burn a couple of pieces of fur and it smells like humane hair, it is most likely real.*

*The Burn Test (only if you own the coat). Animal hair smells like human hair when burned; fake fur made from acrylic or polyester—the two most commonly used synthetics—does not. Carefully remove just a few hairs and then,holding them with tweezers above a dish or other non-flammable surface, ignite them with a cigarette lighter. Make sure to burn them away from the original garment and anything else flammable. Never conduct the burn test on hairs still attached to the jacket. The burn test should only be conducted by adults.
