svernmelus Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Hi all, I'm planning an trip to Norway this summer. And I'm wondering if anyone knows some interesting furriers to visit, in the aria of Oslo and Bergen? Thx in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwegian lynx Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Hello Sad to say, Norway is not a great place for shopping furs, at all. Mostly all of the few furriers have closed down in the last twenty years. If you were to come in winter, you would be able to shop for fur trimmed and fur lined coats and parkas, as they are everywhere when the weather is cold. But as for actual fur coats, you only have one shop in Bergen (Gullaksen) and another one at Bryggen selling cheap mass produced fur items at outragous prices to tourists. In Oslo you have Atelier Henry Phillip, and Isaksen Pels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfur1 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Wow, Hard to believe. I saw "ladies of London last year and they went to Denmark and there was fur everywhere. They stop at a Furrier and one lady made a purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svernmelus Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 that's an bummer to hear that the most off them have closed down. I'll will pay them an visit, but will be aware of you good advice 'Norwegian lynx' Thought that because its an land where the winters are cold, there should be more furriers present.

Norwegian lynx Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Yes, you really would think so, but here as elsewhere in the West, there has been a steep decline in fur wearers and fur salons due to the anti-fur movements. Recent years though have seen a reversing of the trend, but mostly through the work of the major designer houses and fashion making fur and accessories more mainstream and acceptable again. Maybe in a few years we will see some new shops opening up again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTheNightKnight Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Have Elsa wear a fur in the upcoming Frozen Christmas special. That should help, in Norway and elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
