Imitation fur clothes cannot be dyed. If the color is hard and will change color after washing, it means it is not washable.

Fur refers to clothing made from animal fur, which has the function of keeping warm. Today's furs are more beautiful and more expensive, and they are also the target of many consumers. Fur animals such as foxes, minks, raccoons, rex rabbits, cattle and sheep are the main sources of fur raw materials.

Originating from Guangdong, it has gradually replaced the word "fur" and become the mainstream word. Why does Cantonese dialect use the morpheme "grass" to form words? We can confirm this from the idiom "barren land". The "grass" in the Cantonese dialect word "fur" is the "hair" in "barren land", and "grass" and "hair" are synonymous morphemes. "Barren land" refers to a place where even grass does not grow. Conversely, "fur" refers to "fur".

Some people have also verified that in the old Shanghai period, some Russian Jews opened some fur shops here. At that time, they mainly sold wild animals, and furs were very expensive. A yellow wolf skin jacket costs five gold bars. However, the temperature in Shanghai is not particularly cold, with short winters and long summers. Therefore, smart Jews sold furs in winter, bought some straw mats to sell in summer, and then changed the name of the store to "fur shop". After liberation, many fur companies moved to Hong Kong. Apprentices working for Jewish fur traders, in order to survive, imitated the original Jewish bosses. Although they did not know what fur meant, they were all called "fur companies." ".

However, this is unreasonable. Because fur is expensive and costs tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, while straw mats are cheap and only costs a few yuan or dozens of yuan. How can a business dealing in high-end luxury goods take the risk of lowering the quality of their stores? Selling furs and straw mats?
