With the price of fur pelts rising, fur designers will have to get more creative. That traditional mink coat will soon disappear since style will sell the fur over quality.
In The United States, the consumer comes into a fur store with a certain budget in hand. In order to meet this budget, furriers need to get more creative and have the product highly styled in order to sell the product, combining the product with some exotic leather, hints of silver fox, some chinchilla trim or some other interesting details will give the customer a bit of excitement overlooking the quality of the fur.
The only way a furrier can survive with this much increase is to sell his existing furs at a lower price level than market value, but this is only short term, since the replacment furs will be that much higher.
Novelty furs will become a staple, the fine quality classic mink coat may not have the ability to survive with these drastic price increases.
