Thank you PD

I agree the Hockley website is rubbish - BTW they also sell some of the more 'casual' furs through Matches now

Love the first one - that little jacket would do me

it really is beautiful!

couple years ago I also managed to snag a vintage Sable little bolero coat similar to Beyonce. The person who sold it to me didn't know what it was she said it "looked like Sable" but it wasn't. When I took it to my furier, he was like oh my--It's Russian Sable and worth thousands! I think I paid $100 or $200 something like that.

I just bought a 3/4 sheered black Seal with fox trim coat and I have a full length sheered mink.

Love em in winter!

Yes, tell me about it! You can really find some great things if u take your time to look around. I will get around to some pics shortly. I love, love the first pic of Beyonce, that jacket is beautiful!

maryme

Both excellent examples

Just had to enlarge this...simply gorgeous! I am so glad this thread picked up!





PS: I have tried to buy a coat in Barguzin sable about a month ago, even went to Siberia of all places (that's where I was born). I could not believe my eyes they wanted triple for the coat than what I was quoted in Canada. Most of the stores did not carry it as they consider it too expensive(no one apparently can afford it) and it's only available for special order. Was it ever gorgeous....I tried it on....it was light as a feather....still looking for a better deal though.

That's the one I want. I was told it's the one that comes from Siberia and the only other place they get sable from is Canada. Barguzin is the most expensive one though, it's much darker brown and comes with silver hint(almost like grey hair) throughout.
