Real fur coats were for decades an essential symbol of high status, material well-being, and luxury! In the ensuing decades, fur’s popularity declined, sparked by animals’ rights concerns and increasingly casual lifestyles. In the last few years, however, it’s staged a comeback, especially in the high-end market.
Have you ever wondered what is the most expensive real fur coats out there and why they cost so much? We are here to solve the mystery for you! Check below the most lavish and high-cost fur material!
Lynx Fur
Lynx fur is very unique in color and pattern in that it is a variety of natural tones that vary from beige-white to gold to medium and dark browns and the pattern is normally clustered and spotted. The belly of a Lynx is totall white with some black dots, some coats are made only with fur from the belly of the lynx pelt, for that reason they are totall white but also very expensive! A full belly lynx coat can coast from $30.000 to $100.000!
This coat is made only with the bellies of the lynx pelts! For that reason is so white!
Chinchilla Fur
Recognized for its glamorous slate blue-gray color, chinchilla is about as prestigious as it gets. It’s extremely lightweight, yet bears the highest hair density of any animal, they tend to grow over 20 thousands of hair per square centimeter. No other fur is softer or warmer or looks more lavish. Chinchilla is difficult to work with (one of the reasons it’s so expensive) and requires a lot of care. Prices range from $10,000 to $100,000.
Sable Fur
Sable has been the fur of choice for royals since the Middle Ages. Reserved exclusively for members of the nobility in several instances, Russian sable fur remains an extraordinarily precious, lavish, and expensive material!
‘”The Siberian sable has such special energy and mystery in addition to being so light and warm and sexy that it is no wonder that a century ago there was a law that only the czar and his family could wear it,” says Helen Yarmack, one of Russia’s leading fur designers.
A sable fur coat can cost from $10.000 to 500.000! On 2015 Kalr Lagerfeld featured one of the most expensive clothing ever made, a full-length sable fur coat that cost 1.000.000 Euros!
