Real Housewives of Sydney star Victoria Montano star has shut down claims she is still selling real fur coats on her website.
It comes as Victoria, 39, recently became the owner of athleisure brand Sport Luxe declared her days as a fur seller are over and buried amid a feud with co-star Dr. Kate Adams after she wore a fur-collar vest to an animal shelter.
Meanwhile, a number of garments listed as ‘fake’ on Sport Luxe’s website also claim to be authentic fur in the item description.
In one specific ad, her popular “faux fur” vests, which currently retail for $990, are described as “100 percent raccoon fur.”
In a statement issued to Ny Breaking Australia on Wednesday, Victoria insisted the listings on its website were a “human error”.

‘Of the fifty products I sell on my website, only two items ever contain fur trim. Both items were removed in May 2023,” she explained.
“They were the classic winter cardigan (made from tweed with fur trim) and the Showstopper (a long cashmere jacket with fur trim),” she continued.
‘I sell both items optionally with a faux fur trim and have done so since I launched the range two years ago.
“My website designer uploaded these faux fur options two years ago with the correct title, but copied the text from the fur item underneath. That’s the simple but very boring explanation of what happened here. Human error!’
