Fewer people were wearing real fur coats due to the animal lovers and activists protesting the practice. To fill the fashion gap, manufacturers began producing coats, hats and boots out of a material that resembled real fur. It became widely popular. Now electrofur is here. It is an entirely new type of faux fur introduced that is growing in popularity among millions.

Electrofur was discovered when a white faux fur coat was accidentally dropped on top of a lighting system. One man realized that the glowing fur was an amazing sight. He was a fashion designer. He manufactured a fake fur coat that was outfitted with AA batteries enabling the coat to light up and glow in the dark. The look is similar to the popular glow sticks that children love to play with.

These fur coats, scarfs, boas and other clothing and accessories have been immediately accepted as a fashion statement by the public. The items come in print, a wide array of colors and some are able to change colors much like a glowing neon sign can change colors. These innovative clothing items and accessories are like sparkling gems.

The animal rights activists are pleased that not as many animals are raised to become fur coats. The electrofur manufacturers are happy that their product is in high demand. The plant in Canada hired extra workers to keep up with the orders. It seems that everyone is eager to buy and wear the amazing new garments.

Success did not just happen overnight. It took four years of effort to develop the new type of material and get it on the market. The people cannot seem to get enough of it now. The fabric is made by weaving lighting filaments right into the fake fur. The bright effect is powered by a set of AA batteries.

The garments are sold all over the world. For example, the fur hats are the latest fashion statement in Japan. All over Tokyo, people are sporting them. Print is the most popular material for the hat. The stores have noticed a higher demand for the AA batteries that light them up. The material is even collecting likes on Facebook.

Boas and shimmering vests are taking the place of flashlights to get around in the dark. Enough light emanates from the garments to see where car keys are in a purse and read the names on the street signs. The garments are not only fashionable, they have a practical application as well.

There is an annual event called Burning Man. It is held in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada. More than ten thousand extremely creative people attend. The whole point of the gathering is to set up a temporary city for a one week period. When it is over, everyone leaves the desert as clean as it was when they arrived.

While there, people show off new things they have created and everyone is interested in what others have made. It was at Burning Man that the first full length illuminated faux fur coat was displayed. It was only after everyone applauded it in a big way that plans were made to manufacture electrofur for commercial sales.
