I can't tell where I bought the materials because there's no tag. I think it's faux fur... I have a vague memory that it was rabbit fur... I'm sorry! I'm not sure, but I think it's better to assume it's faux fur. I've only used it about twice at a friend's wedding, and it's been about three years since I last used it. It's a loop, and it's twisted, so you just put it over your head and drape it over your shoulders, making it easier than a stole! It's very comfortable to the touch and made of warm material, so it's too hot for summer. #Wedding #Party #Stole #Bolero
