# Faux Animal Skin Rugs Vintage Dutch Blanket Polar Bear Carpets By Bianca | Published 2008-11-04 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fake-bear-rug References: [treehugger](http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/10/bear-skin-rugs.php) [PETA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-interiors) supporter? While some animal rights advocates would get a kick out of this [faux bear-skin rug](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducies-fw25-collection), others would be deeply appalled at what it represents. Personally, I find it amusing, although I’d never spread it out on my living room floor. The artists did a great job capturing little details, down to the frighteningly ferocious teeth and pink tongue. They added cute little details to chic it up, such as a golden nose and floral embroidery up the neck of its white and seafoam green neck. The designer, Lise Lefebvre actually makes them out of [vintage Dutch blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rumpl-retro-elements-blankets), making them eco-friendly too.
