Demand for nutria pelts fades away |
|
Friday, 03 April 2009 |
HOUMA - With their oversized orange-tinged incisors, beady eyes and rat-like tails, nutria are not the most endearing animals in the swamp.
But they were once a valued animal, brought to the U.S. from Argentina by businessmen who planned to raise them for their fur and meat.
Their coats, which appear slicked back and greasy-looking in the wild, are actually thick and luxurious once cleaned and processed. The fur, similar to beaver, is dense and soft and ranges in color.
If you fancy a nutria fur for yourself, they are still readily available. A search of the online auction site eBay, for example, turned up dozens of women's coats - some made completely of nutria fur and others simply lined or accented with it -- ranging in price from $30 to $1,500.
The offerings are proof there was once a demand for the fur.
Experts say that was especially true in Russia and Argentina, but with the souring international economy, demand in recent years is slim. |

Canada's commercial harp seal hunt started today with a quota of 280,000 seals, only days after Russia decided to ban all hunting of harp seals under one year of age.
Baby seals are being killed on the ice in Canada as you read this - observers from The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) confirmed the first seal death just moments ago.
Observers from HSUS and IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare) are in the air and on the ice, watching the hunt, recording abuses, and campaigning to end this cruelty once and for all.
We here at E-furs.com may adore furs, but we are against Baby Seal Hunting and any fur making that is against the law!

MEN ARE THE FUTURE FUR COSTUMER |
|
Saturday, 27 December 2008 |
According to trend researchers at the Danish trend group ‘PEJ-gruppen’, future fashion for men will be just as big as fashion for women. In their latest book they state, that it is time for men to be the centre of attention in fashion. Men are namely a so called ‘mega niche’, the book states.
This is substantiated in new ethnological studies, which shows, that the different between women’s and men’s shopping habits are getting smaller and smaller, and that men cares just as much about shopping and clothing as women.
The reason for the new man’s interest in dressing nice is caused by the modern man, starting to experience different sides of himself, because of more and more men taking a paternity leave. New sides, which are expressed in a more feminine attitude towards fashion and clothing.
And to dress up and wear nice clothes has become more and more common for the ordinary man. The tendency was also clear at the ‘The Golden Fur Pin’s’ 10. year’s anniversary, where several designers had chosen to design fur for men, instead of the traditional fur clothing for woman.
In other words it is a good idea to concentrate on fur fashion for men, because the modern man is not afraid to wear fur and care about fashion. |
