Hard to say whether or not the shippo itself is real fur but since a lot of people can come by them, it may be faux. However, Ayumi has probably worn real fur before, Vuitton ONLY uses real fur (which is terrible because recently, they've churned out tons of fur merchandising).

Anyways, the shippo is still around. Namie Amuro wore one recently but it's smaller and is patterned like a racoon tail.
