Protesters from the Coalition to Abolish The Fur Trade gathered outside the London store and jeered the opera singer when she arrived in a horse-drawn carriage.
Campaigners claim that the Knightsbridge shop, which is owned by Mohamed Al Fayed, is the only UK store selling imported fur.
"We are gathered here today because of our disgust at Ms Jenkins who professes to be against animal cruelty and the fur trade," said campaigner John Wilson.
X Factor winner Leona Lewis reportedly turned down an offer to open the sale because of Harrods' policy.
Jenkins commented: "Personally I do not eat meat or wear fur, but people are entitled to their opinions."
