Quality and ethical fur. Our responsibility.
How we choose skins, who we buy from — and why we believe a high-quality fur, worn for decades, is a responsible choice.
We respect that views on fur differ
Views on fur and fur farming are personal, and we understand and respect those who are critical of fur. We are not trying to persuade anyone.
But we do not share that view. We believe that fur from well-treated animals, crafted with care and worn for many years, is an honest and responsible choice — and we work every day to live up to that.
Three generations of trained furriers
All three generations of the family are trained furriers. That gives us a deep understanding of the skin — from auction and grading to sewing, care and remodelling.

Fur has kept people warm for thousands of years. For us it is about quality, durability and respect for the material.
-
01
A natural material
Fur and leather are natural, biodegradable materials. Unlike synthetics, they do not shed microplastics that circulate in the environment for hundreds of years.
-
02
Lasts for decades
A high-quality fur lasts for many years — some of our customers are now in their 25th year of wearing the same mink coat. Fewer purchases and less waste over time.
-
03
Can be repaired and remodelled
Our furriers repair, alter and remodel. An inherited fur can get a new cut — or become a gilet, a lining or a throw.
-
04
Often a by-product
Lambskin and shearling are by-products of the food industry. The skin would otherwise go to waste — with us it becomes jackets that last for years.
The skins we work with
We only work with species that are not endangered, and only with suppliers we know and can vouch for.
-
01
Visão
Light, warm and very durable. We buy mink skins through recognised international auction houses, where skins are graded, traceable and come from farms with documented animal welfare.
-
02
Lamb & shearling
Soft, light and warm. The skin is a by-product of the food industry, and the animals are raised on large, open pastures. Used for shearling jackets, leather jackets and gloves.
-
03
Seal
Exceptionally warm and water-repellent. Sealskin comes from regulated hunts in Greenland and Canada, where hunting is an important part of local culture and economy. The animals have lived their lives in the wild.
-
04
Raposa
Soft, light and luxurious. Our fox skins come from Saga Furs in Finland, which requires certified animal welfare from its suppliers.
-
05
Rabbit & rex
Soft and light with fantastic quality for the price. Rex rabbit has a particularly dense, velvety fur that feels lovely close to the body.
Traceable skins from suppliers we know
The industry has changed. Kopenhagen Fur — for many years the world's largest fur auction — has closed its auctions, and Danish mink has become far more coveted and exclusive.
Today we buy our skins through Saga Furs in Finland and other recognised suppliers we have worked with for many years, who can document the origin of the skins. We minimise the use of chemicals in tanning and choose suppliers who do the same.
We are not perfect — but we keep improving
We listen to our customers and follow developments in sustainability and animal welfare closely. Going forward we will increasingly choose materials from animals raised in the best possible conditions.
We are especially focused on lambskin and shearling, where the skin is a by-product and the animals live on large, open pastures.
Um bom casaco de pele não é algo que se compre para uma estação. É algo que se passa adiante.
