fur pelts

Fur pelts are the outer covering of animals, composed of fur, that are harvested for clothing, accessories, or decorative purposes. They are obtained through hunting, trapping, or farming, and often undergo processing to preserve and clean the fur. Pelts vary in quality based on the animal species, fur thickness, and condition. Historically, they’ve been valuable trade items, used for warmth and protection. Today, fur pelts are still used in fashion, though their production raises ethical and environmental considerations. Proper processing and sourcing are important factors in their value and impact.
