Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

3. Candy Puff Pom Pom Shoe Clips: £35, cleob.com
Transform your shoes and handbags with this pair of pom poms in pink and purple faux fur from the London-based footwear label. Unlike the other pieces on the list, these have got metal clips, which attach securely to trainers, stilettos, clutches or tote bags, rather than a clasp. Available in other colours, too.
4. Crimson Faux Fur Personalised Heart Key Ring: £26, helenmoore.com
Helen Moore is a big name in the faux fur world; her colourful pieces, which are designed and made in the UK, have a celebrity following including Fearne Cotton and Alexa Chung.

5. Jaffa Yellow: £15, dunelondon.com
Add a splash of colour to your bag with this yellow faux fur keyring from the high-street shoe label. It’s got a branded disc charm (about the size of a £2 coin), which gives it a more luxe look. Available in other five bright colours.
6. Cat Keyring: £6, topshop.com
Attention cat lovers: embrace your feline spirit with this black furry style with ears and green eyes. It has a gold-tone chain with a tiny clasp to attach it to your house keys or bag zip.
7. MCM Rabbit Motif Keychain: £365.98, farfetch.com
If you prefer a designer name – and can afford it – our pick is this cool metallic rabbit hidden in a ball of navy faux fur, from the luxe German fashion house. The bunny ears have black blanket stitching and a futuristic metal strap, encrusted with pink crystals, covers what would be its eyes.
Verdict:
Dune’s number is a winner: the faux fur feels top quality and we love the choice of bright colours, though this sunny yellow is our pick. If you can afford the luxe price tag, Sophie Hulme's fun furry charm with star-shaped glasses is uber-cool.
