Thanks papertiger, I knew there was a reason and it's no surprise you would know the answer [emoji8]Sables can't be bred only hunted from very small areas the wild - hence the price tag

.... and yet they put men on the moon. I also wish there was a way of making sable much more inexpensive but then as soon as it is widely available it becomes less desirable. A paradox if I ever heard one. Still - I'd love a Sable coat.Sables can't be bred only hunted from very small areas the wild - hence the price tag
I know what you mean LOL.
It wasn't long ago when mere mortals were not eve allowed to own/wear the fur and all sable was reserved only for Russian royalty. Even now the supply of sable is strictly controlled by the Russian government (another reason why it's expensive).
How interesting. I hadn't really thought about a government determining how much (for example) sable fur could be produced.Sables can't be bred only hunted from very small areas the wild - hence the price tag
I recently visited the Saks philly fur salon and discovered they are having a huge sale. Up to 70% off. The sales women was really nice. PM me for SA details.
And I thought it might be because the baby sables are hard to raise to adulthood....... How naive of me....
That is a discount ! I wish I was nearby.
Yes, it's a shame #firstworldproblems as they say [emoji38]
Love her account but I think it's cruel - these Russians swanning around with racks of furs, diamond and Hermes bags - when I would appreciate them so much more!! [emoji38]
@anutapet
This girl is either has a closet worth in excess of a million or she is a furrier modelling what she sells. If I understood Russian I might be able to help! There have been pics of her previously on here.
@a092aa - an odd username if I ever saw one. So a concoction of 'elevator selfies', mixed quality of photos but ultimately devine sables!!!
You are right !!!! I suspect a furrier or perhaps from a furrier family - or perhaps just rich beyond words.
I have a friend who is Russian, and she told me once,that fur manufactured in Russia is not insanely expensive, you can get great quality coats at reasonable prices,
