Bronx and Banco Faux Fur Coats: The FW26 Mink and Teddy Edit

For Fall Winter 2026 Bronx and Banco made outerwear for the first time at real scale, and faux fur is at the centre of it. The collection runs from cropped faux mink jackets to a long teddy coat, all cut with the label's sense of occasion, so they work over a gown as easily as over jeans. None of it is real fur. This is the edit, with how to wear each piece and how to look after it. Shop the coats alongside the rest of the collection on the Bronx and Banco hub and in designer coats.

Quick answer

• Is it real fur? No. The faux mink, teddy and faux fur pieces are made from polyester.
• Best for evening: a cropped faux mink jacket over a long gown.
• Best for every day: the Long Teddy Coat, a full-length coat with a tie belt.
• Care: specialist clean, shake out after wear and keep the pile away from heat.

The faux mink jackets

Faux mink has a short, dense pile with a slight sheen, which reads as more polished than a shaggy faux fur. Bronx and Banco cut it in camel and dark brown. The Faux Mink Long Sleeve Jacket is a boxy shape with a high collar and a cropped length that sits at the waist. The Faux Mink Long Sleeve Cropped Jacket is shorter still. Both are designed to go over eveningwear: the short length shows off a gown, and the volume at the shoulder balances a long skirt.

The teddy coat

Teddy is a looped, curly pile with a soft hand, close to a faux shearling. The Long Teddy Coat is the most practical coat in the collection: full length, with an oversized notch collar and a tie belt. Wear it over knitwear and trousers in the day, and over a slip dress at night. It is cut with room for a layer underneath, so your usual size is right.

Vests, shorts and trims

The house uses faux mink in smaller doses too. The Faux Mink Sleeveless Vest is belted at the waist and gives warmth to the body without bulk at the arms, and it comes with matching faux mink shorts, the Faux Mink Camel Brown Shorts and the Faux Mink Dark Brown Shorts, for a full look. Faux fur also appears as cuffs and hems: the Long Sleeve Bodysuit with Faux Fur Cuffs, the Short Sleeve Mini Dress with Faux Fur Trim and the Chiffon and Faux Fur Maxi Skirt let you wear the trend without a whole coat.

How to wear a faux fur coat over eveningwear

• Match the length to the hem. A cropped jacket over a floor-length gown, a long coat over a mini.
• Pick up a colour. Camel and brown faux mink sit naturally over burgundy, emerald and gold; try it with the Madeline Halterneck Burgundy Gown.
• Keep the neckline clear. A high-collared jacket worn open frames a halter neck without crowding it, and works just as well over a V-neck.
• Do not belt over embellishment. A belt can catch on crystals and sequins. Wear the coat open over beaded gowns.

Faux mink, teddy and faux fur compared

Can you wear faux fur to black tie?

Yes. A faux fur jacket is one of the most elegant ways to stay warm at a winter black tie event, and it photographs well on arrival. Choose a short, sleek pile such as faux mink rather than a long shag, and check it at the cloakroom once you are inside. Our black tie dress guide covers what to wear underneath.

Looking after faux fur

Faux fur does not like heat. Shake the coat out after wear, hang it on a wide hanger so the shoulders keep their shape, and never store it in plastic. Brush the pile gently with a wide-tooth comb if it flattens. For cleaning, use a specialist dry cleaner, and never iron it, and never tumble dry it. If you are caught in rain, let it dry naturally at room temperature, away from a radiator.

Is Bronx and Banco outerwear vegan?

The faux fur, faux mink and teddy pieces contain no animal fur, and the croc and suede pieces in the same collection are polyurethane. Feathers, used on some trims, are the exception. Our guide to Bronx and Banco materials goes through every fabric.

Faux fur for a UK and Canadian winter

Interest in faux fur coats peaks in November and December in both the UK and Canada, which is when the evenings turn cold enough to need one over a party dress. In Canada, choose length: the Long Teddy Coat covers you to the knee and works with boots. In the UK, where winters are damp more than freezing, a cropped faux mink jacket is enough for the walk between dinner and a party, and it dries easily if you are caught in the rain.
