Real Housewives of Sydney star Victoria Montano star has shut down claims she is still selling genuine fur jackets on her website.
It comes as Victoria, 39, who owns athleisure brand Sport Luxe, recently proclaimed her fur-selling days are dead and buried amid a row with co-star Dr Kate Adams after she wore a fur-collared vest to an animal rescue centre.
Meanwhile, on the Sport Luxe website, a number of garments listed as 'faux' also claim to be authentic fur in the item description.
One particular listing describes her popular 'faux fur' vests, currently on sale for $990, as being '100 per cent racoon fur'.
In a statement issued to Daily Mail Australia on Wednesday, Victoria insisted the listings on her website were a 'human error'.

Victoria, 39, who owns athleisure brand Sport Luxe, recently clashed with her co-star Dr Kate Adams after wearing a fur vest during an episode of RHOS
'Out of the 50 products I sell on my website, only two items were ever containing a fur trim. Both items were removed in May 2023,' she explained.
'They were the Classic Winter Vest (made from tweed with fur trim), and the Showstopper (a Cashmere long jacket with fur trim),' she continued.
'I sell both items with fake fur trim as an option and have done so since I launched the range two years ago.
'My website designer uploaded these fake fur options two years ago with the correct title - but copied the text of the fur item underneath. That is the simple but very boring explanation of what has happened here. Human error!'
