Biography:

Philippa, a graduate of FIT in New York, worked in Canada, the US and the UK and returned to Toronto to become the Vice President of Design, Sales and Marketing for one of North Americas largest knitwear manufacturers. Philippa traveled throughout Europe and Asia developing knitwear, accessory, home accent and outerwear collections that sold across the globe. In 2015 Pip revisited the vision to create a most unique and fashionable faux fur collection. She had closets full of vintage fur coats she adored, but she was troubled by the ethical repercussions of wearing real fur. FURious Fur was created to bring the glamorous design and luxury of real fur to the modern woman. The Ethical choice.
