About Fur
Fur is one of the oldest materials known to man. In medieval times, by ancient law, fur was so special that only the privileged few – kings, queens and the nobility – could wear it. The desire for fur, at once the pinnacle of ceremonial and functional style, prevailed for generations in many cultures.
Fur remains one of the most luxurious fabrics around, and DESIGNERS and consumers love it. CHOOSING A FUR is an emotional experience; a fur will always make the wearer feel and look special. No two furs are ever the same, and crafting a fur garment takes precision and skill. A fur will last for generations if cared for correctly, and can be re-shaped and re-styled into something new. A fur is not only worn with pride, it is created with pride and care at every stage of its production.
Everyone associated with the International Fur Federation (IFF) is passionate about fur and proud to represent such an exciting and diverse trade with a long and rich history. Fur is more popular than ever, and as the trade grows, even higher WELFARE STANDARDS are achieved throughout the world. Everything the IFF does is carried out with the objective of ensuring that this continues.
