About Fur

Fur is a natural product that can be dyed, sheared and styled in countless ways. There are many different kinds of fur, each with its own particular characteristics. The following is a brief guide to help you select the fur that best suits your style and needs. If you are interested in a fur that is not listed in our guide we will make it available to you. If there is a particular style you want that you don’t see in our collection, we have the facility to create it especially to your specifications. We carry a wide range of beautifully designed handcrafted furs, all of which are made on the premises at our manufactory in Old Montreal.
