luxurysable Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 For most it is a dream, and realty for a very few lucky ones, especially in Russia where there are some extremely rich fur lovers..
lynx Posted June 13, 2017 Author Posted June 13, 2017 For most it is a dream, and realty for a very few lucky ones, especially in Russia where there are some extremely rich fur lovers.. 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.
luxurysable Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 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

That's a lot of furs. Must have been an amazing sight
luxurysable Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 It was amazing to see such decadence everything is relative to most people it is a lot of furs, to extremely rich Russian's it is small change they have huge humid controlled walk in vaults for their huge collection of precious furs and bags and belts made of genuine reptile skins.
furrybob Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Great desciption, but what did he buy for himself?
luxurysable Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 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.
luxurysable Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 Great desciption, but what did he buy for himself? He had on a sable lined python coat, and ordered some fur throw's as interior decoration for his new 125metor yacht,
lynxette Posted July 1, 2017 Posted July 1, 2017 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.
elbas3175 Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Is / has anyone visited St Moritz for the White Turf this year?
lynxette Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Unfortunately no...still in the bucket so to say.
RonGav Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Amazing.. and you wonder where THAT money came from. One can only guess in Russia!
lynxette Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Oligarchs and the long term Russian proclivity for corruption going back centuries. Putin is nothing new.
RonGav Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Amen! But they can sure flaunt those sables, can't they? All those models just swishing around.. what trying to sell them?
lynxette Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 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.
Panther10 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 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.
lynxette Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 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.
Panther10 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 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.
