Hat and accessory fashion for the coming winter season was presented at Moscow’s Chapeau 2011 fair, ending last weekend. The event, which was organised for the ninth time, brought together nearly 290 exhibitors from different parts of Russia. Of these, 35 were fur traders operating in the international market.
According to exhibitors, the fair went very well. The number of visitors increased by a little over 15 per cent from the previous year. The prices of ready-made accessories increased, but this did not have an effect on buyers as trade was busy already in the first day of the fair.
Fox fur held its ground as the most popular headwear material. Different Saga techniques, especially Airgallone and Fox on Fabric, were very popular. Furthermore, a technique in clothing, where strips of fox fur are sewn into the fabric, has also moved into headwear.
The Chapeau fair, organised annually, is the largest and most prominent international fur fair in Russia.
