Alexa-- Sorry just to butt in, but I too am a Pelt Person. I especially like the skins of unborn animals. So soft and sweet!!!! Here in Milan, of course, one simply must stay home all winter if one doesn't have a fur. In Nice last week I saw a great deal of Blackglama mink (even though the temperature was in the 70s). Black is very big this year. I like black. It is an important and elite non-color. Janice

Alexa: The best furs are to be found in Siberia. But if you can't make the trip, there are several good furriers in New York I could recommend. The most endearing way to get a new fur are the new "DO-IT-YOURSELF" fur shops opening up in Ohio, Tennessee and Kentucky. You pay admission to a fur farmer in exhange for a select hardwood bat, knee-high neoprene rubber boots, a Bowie knife and a 10-gallon tin drum (to contain the bloody harvest.You then have one hour to collect as many furs off the rabbits, foxes, ermins and minks they keep in the penned harvesting area. Gloves are suggested since the little critters tend to bite if you skin 'em alive. For an additional fee, commerative photographs of your outing can be taken and copies sent to PETA headquarters.
