That's definitely true. I saw a documentary once about the Russian wealthy and it included one wonderful scene where a woman walked into a store wearing a sable coat and walked out with that and a hooded full length lynx belly coat plus a chinchilla jacket.

A while back I was Fend i's in Moscow. and a Russia with his wife and the two 16 years old daughters and bodyguards he purchased a full length cape of sable, a coat of chinchilla, a jacket of Russian lynx for his wife. For his two daughters each got a 3 quarter length coat of sable, a jacket of chinchilla, a full length coat silver & artic fox, and at 16 their first bedspread of sable, two of their several bodyguard's assisted to carry the furs to two Roll's waiting outside where the two chauffeur's held the boot open fur the furs, Fendi furs do not come cheap made only using skins of the highest quality, the wife wore the cape and the teenage girls chose their new chinchilla jackets leaving I followed them out I could not be sure but the rear of the daughters car looked like it was lined in white mink, they where escorted by two bodyguards with bulging jackets witch led be to believe they were armed, yes the wealthy in Russia love their furs

Yes it was amazing to see such decadence, but everything is relative, to most it would a lot of furs, but to extremely rich fur loving Russian's its small change, some of them having huge climate controlled vaults for storing their huge collection of exclusive furs heard of one who order 25 beanbags of sable and chinchilla from Lars Paustian a German furrier for sitting in the disco on his private yacht.

Love your avatar Lynx! Also, the snow polo at St. Moritz is definitely on my bucket list to attend one day. Great time to wear my furs and get ideas for new ones for my collection.

Did you know that one cannot buy a fur coat in Russia and take it out of the country? Fur hats, mittens, etc. yes, fur coat no. And the prices are to die for from our perspective, as you can get a lot for a little. Maybe this is the reason...they don't want their furs going out of the country.

I just wish we would see more foxes at St. Moritz. I realize that if you are one of those mega billionaire heiresses, you don't need a fox when you can buy as many sables as you want...but come on....there has to be more fox lovers living in that part of the world.

I would kindly argue with the idea that a woman no matter how rich doesn't need foxes. I have sable, and use mostly for warmer weather wearing, which is very nice to extend fur season into summer, but I would never trade a full, thick soft heavy fox coat for midwinter...except with maybe a lynx of coyote. Snow polo would require fox for me.

Bingo. Sable might be the most expensive type of fur, but in the pantheon of fur coats there is absolutely nothing more glamorous or illustrious than a thick full length fox coat. I'm glad that fox is getting its due everywhere else in the world from both men and women, but its almost shameful that it is hardly recognized at St. Moritz of all places.
