An animal charity says House of Fraser is "painfully out of touch", after it started selling fur products.
The company, taken over by Sports Direct CEO Mike Ashley last year, said in a statement in 2017 that it had a "strict no-fur policy".
There was backlash online and outside shops on Monday after garments were found to be lined with fur.
The Humane Society International/UK accused the store of losing its "moral compass".
Customers expressed anger when they found coats trimmed with rabbit fur in store, and on House of Fraser's website there are hats for sale made from 100% raccoon fur.
Yeah... this decision baffles me, considering how much pressure there is on stores to replace their fur products - especially since the alternatives are so readily accessible. And it's doubly baffling that they would risk triggering a boycott in the run-up to Christmas .
Hopefully, this isn't permanent, and they'll reconsider soon.
