We admit honestly: every beautiful lady wants to throw a luxurious fur coat on her shoulders. For their sewing, the fur of vicuna, mink, chinchilla, sable, arctic fox, silver fox, lynx, rabbit, etc. is used.
Vicuna
Probably, now many fashionistas will be confused when they find out that the most expensive and valuable in the world is vicuna fur. This animal belongs to the genus Lama and is considered the most valuable in Peru. The national emblem of this country depicts a graceful vicuna. Noble animals live in the highlands. In the mountains, they survive thanks to their soft and warm coat. It was she who almost became the cause of the disappearance of the mentioned animals from the face of the earth. Vicuna skin is very thin and soft. However, fur coats from this fur are very rarely sewn, more often they make a woolen fabric, a bit like cashmere. A meter of such material costs about $ 3,000. That is why only the famous fashion houses make luxury clothes from the most valuable vicuna.
Barguzinsky sable
Perhaps this is the most expensive and valuable domestic fur. It produces very beautiful chocolate-colored products, sometimes with glimpses of a bluish gray hair. At a recent auction in St. Petersburg, the fur of this animal was constantly growing in price. As a result, each skin was sold for $ 1,300. This is a record price for sable. Thus, a sable fur coat costs at least $ 200,000. However, the price of a product depends not only on the quality of the fur, it is influenced by the exclusivity and name of the author. It is known that designers of famous fashion houses make fur products to order, as a rule, in a single copy. Sable skins are often called black gold. Exquisite fur received this name for its beauty, unusual coloring, softness and solid cost.
Chinchilla
According to experts, the most expensive fur coats are also made from chinchilla fur. It is often called the most expensive. Chinchilla has a very thick fur. In an ordinary fur-bearing animal, only one hair grows from a single hair bulb, while in a chinchilla, 60-80 at once! The height of the villi is 3 centimeters. So far, it is produced very little, so it is especially appreciated. This is confirmed by the prices of outerwear made of chinchilla. The most expensive fur coat, the price of which may exceed $ 100,000, is not available to everyone.
Mink
Undoubtedly, this is the most popular fur. The fur coat is lightweight and durable. Fashion was introduced to them by the stars of Hollywood in the thirties of the last century. In recent years, this fur has become the subject of experiments by fashion designers. It is plucked, sheared, painted in various colors, and the latest technological developments of dressing are used. The most expensive mink coat costs more than $ 20,000.
Lynx
Many believe that the most expensive fur coats are from lynx. The largest and most beautiful are the Scandinavian lynxes. Interestingly, the most valuable is fluffy and
soft white abdomen. The more distinct the black spots on it, the more valuable the fur. Lynx fur coats are sewn exclusively from the side skins. This fur is practically not processed. Such a fur coat can cost more than a mink and even a sable. The reason is simple - the lynx is a rare and cautious beast, they are not bred anywhere, and getting a license to shoot is extremely difficult. The most expensive lynx fur coats will cost you more than $ 100,000.
Marten
Today we consider the most expensive fur coats. These include marten products. This is a fur that has been used by humans for a very long time. Outwardly, it is very reminiscent of sable, but not so thick. In Russia, the aforementioned fur was always of value, and in Europe, where sable is not found, he successfully occupied its niche. It features a wide range of colors - from light gray to dark brown. It has a thick and fluffy undercoat and a long silky pile. Particularly valuable are pelts obtained in the winter, when the fur is especially thick. A spectacular, light and warm marten fur coat will cost you a little more than $ 7,000.
