The history of fur dressing goes back to prehistoric times. The mostly hunting and gatherer cavemen used furs against the cold weather and as camouflage when they were hunting. It was also useful for lining the cave and building a tent. At first, they used the skin just after it was peeled off of the animals, but soon it was discovered that the skin would be destroyed within a short period of time. They later realized that if the skins were washed in water, scraped with stones, rubbed with a mixture of ground seeds, animal fat and flour, the material would be more durable.

As the centuries passed, more and more techniques came to life and skins became more and more durable for multiple uses as well. With the industrial revolution, publication of modern materials and machines, the process of leather finishing accelerated, thus achieving both quantitative and qualitative improvements in fur dressing.

Fur is a natural substance with unique attributes that no other organic material has (thermal and moisture control, acoustic influence, antistatic capability, indoor air cleaning capability, odour neutralisation, UV protection). We should recognise these benefits and takte advantage of their potential.

Using natural fabrics and a proper amount of chemical substances when fur dressing and dyeing, helps us not only to make the fur more resistant but also to preserve its quality for decades. Throughout the whole process, we recycle as much sources – like water and sawdust – as possible to help reduce pollution and minimise our environmental impact.
