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.
Your support makes all the difference.Run, don’t walk: Mango has just restocked its Totême-inspired faux-fur coat. The high-street hit is an affordable alternative to that viral shearling jacket – and it’s more than £1,700 cheaper.
Each winter, it’s almost impossible to avoid Totême’s A/W21 jacket on Instagram. Distinguished by its boxy silhouette, cosy shearling body and contrasting black-leather trim, the Stockholm-based label’s jacket became a cold-weather wardrobe staple among influencers and fashion-heads.
But with its eye-watering £1,850 price tag, the coveted coat has remained on most people’s wish lists. So, when Mango dropped its faux-fur alternative last year, the jacket sold out in mere hours, naturally – and twice more after it was restocked.
Now, it’s back for autumn 2023. Returning in the sleek off-white colourway, the label has also introduced an olive green version of the jacket that’s destinated for the same cult satus.
With its cosy faux-fur build and versatile ecru shearling look, we’re officially dubbing it one of the buys of the season. Here’s everything you need to know.

Riffing off Totême’s luxe coat, Mango’s jacket is characterised by the same shearling look, owing to its faux-fur design. The addition of sleek black toggle fastenings, contrasting black trims and smart front pockets are all reminiscent of the designer jacket.
Cut into an oversized boxy shape, a sleek rounded crew neck lends it to layering over turtlenecks or chunky knits. Whether thrown over an all-black look or teamed with a mini dress and knee-high boots, the jacket will instantly elevate your winter ensembles.
Still available in all sizes, you’ll want to be quick adding the white faux shearling coat to your basket. If you prefer, the viral jacket is also available in a luxe-looking olive green (£119.99, Mango.com) for autumn 2023.

With its boxy silhouette and contrasting black leather, the wearable coat is destined to be one of the most hardworking pieces in your wardrobe.
