Ever wonder how you would look in fur? It’s time to experiment with it and girls…you will not remain what you are after wearing it!
The making of a good fur coat is a very complicated and lengthy process with very strict technological requirements. On average it takes from 10 to 15 days to complete a mink coat and 15-25 days for a sable coat. You normally start with buying skins at the best fur auctions from the world’s best producers of fur. Then you design the coat and put it together in numerous stages with only assiduous manual labor involved.
Usually annual prices for natural fur goods increase by the average of 10% at the start of the winter season. This is the way producers try to protect themselves against all the risks related to the opening of a new season, i.e. inflation, demand instability, changes of purchase prices for fur on international auctions. This year the International fur auction demonstrated that the price of fur has risen significantly; from 5%-30%, that has resulted in price jumps in the shops. However, disregarding this trend we have not increased our prices and are currently holding them down.
Basically you can tell the quality of fur by sight. Good fur has a bright color and sheen, its hairs do not stick together. Its down should be even and thick. The reverse side of the hide should be soft.
A good fur coat will give you years of use. Otters, beavers, sables and raccoons last the longest. Arctic foxes and mink are more sensitive. But if you wear your fur carefully, follow the care instructions and store it properly, it will last for years.
Good fur does not need much maintenance. It is quite enough to just dry your coat and put a breathable cover over it. Avoid hangers which can deform or damage the fur. If fur is worn and stored properly, it can last for decades.
