The ermine Serious luxury for those that could afford it. Used as a trim for those elegant items of clothing or maybe a full lining if you happen to be a wealthy noble person with the right connections! The ermine has always been a fur of royalty right from the middle ages. A large specimen can reach a whopping 15" nose to tail! (you need a lot of them) and due to the nature of the stoat, they only turn white in very cold winters so availability has always been difficult. Hence the status and price. From £23 per pelt |

The fitch Fitch became a desirable fur in the mid to late middle ages due to its lovely range of colour and keen pricing. Reletivly easily available and a good size of pelt ment that fitch secured a place with furriers as a quick and economical fur to trade in. Due to its similarity to much more expensive furs like mink and sable it remained in favour for many years. From £8 per pelt. |
