I saw a feature in Oprah's October magazine about some clothing retailers who have been around for a while revitalizing their lines and their reputation with new style. Most of them are guaranteed fur-free retailers, so I have put below what Oprah's magazine had to say about the companies' old and new reputations and did some sleuthing on their sites for current great buys from the companies.
All of the products below are Ideal Investments in my view!

I couldn't find any info online about these two having a fur-free policy, so although they were part of this story I am not featuring them here. If anyone knows any different, email me!
