Sounds lovely!
On my recent trip to the South of France I was also treated to lots of eye candy. Mostly longer, lush minks in the golden brown or chocolate tones on ladies of a certain age. I was getting some looks on the streets and was asked in the Hermes store in Cannes what fur my coat was. Maybe the SA thought it was a fake!

So funny! The SA must not see a lot fur. Love SoF, it's been to long now
Loving sable more and more. We took an exploratory trip into the city to a new to us fur store, a concession inside Holts, part of the Selfridges chain. I've been in their Montreal store but not the fur dept in Toronto.
There was quite a lot of sable but it was well picked over at the end of the season. The store buys from the major designer collections, whichever designer collection is showing styles that season which would suit their customers. Also the owners, two brothers from a Montreal fur family (a good thing) have a fur manufacturing company in the US where they make to order. It was very interesting and the SA took endless time giving us so much information I can only remember part.
My fave piece was a reversible car coat with an olive toned silk padded reverse but much too large, really there was nothing my size in the shop. The Russian sable was horizontal and beyond beautiful. The SA went to great lengths to tell me I shouldn't sit on the fur when you use the carseat heater as the fur can dry out and become brittle. Price was CDN$40K with 40% off.
There was only one Canadian sable among the Russian, didn't see any Barzon. Sadly the Canadian sable was very thin and flimsy and couldn't start to compare with the Russian but so so loved the beautiful marmalade shade.
The store also carried furs from the factory that makes the Fendi fur coats under their own brand name, that detail eludes me but I'll be back.
Got on the invitation list for the trunk shows should be interesting.
Super cool, wish I was there! Maybe Bleu Iris mink is less common a colour around the SoF!
I have never thought of that - heated car seats. Sounds amazing by the way!
Not the most flattering coat I have seen Kris in, but maybe it's due to the camera angle.
Sable in Italy.

I think it's needs to be taken in. Sleeves are so long? Do they not have time to be fitted properly for their clothes?
You would think that they would I agree especially when spending a lot of money on a Sable.
It's my personal opinion but with the constant need to keep up appearances on the front row, IG and whatever, these furs/ clothes/ bag and shoes are only required ASAP for the moment and not bought to be kept, reworn or cherished. There are comments that their designers items are resold so maybe the fit isn't as crucial for her. Back to topic before I get told off!
Years ago when our office had a particularly good year, a most of the ladies bought furs. One of the guys a retired ballet dancer, who also got a truly magnificent fur, gave us a how to sit wearing a fur tutorial.
It's the sliding action against the car seat that does the most damage.
We lined up with office seats beside us and learned to sit down gracefully while lifting the back of the fur to one side.
Grasp the fur on the side seam at hip level. Lift it up and out away from you. Then sit down. Most of the fur will be beside you, if you are sitting on a little bit that's ok.
It takes practice but worth learning.
He was a rigorous coach and we got as little perspective into the training that went towards making a professional ballet dancer.
Both of you make excellent points.It's my personal opinion but with the constant need to keep up appearances on the front row, IG and whatever, these furs/ clothes/ bag and shoes are only required ASAP for the moment and not bought to be kept, reworn or cherished.
