Fur coats have been and will continue to be bought in Russia. The reason for this is the harsh winter in most of the country. In cold regions, a fur coat is not so much a status item as a necessary one. Traditionally, the leadership in the production of various fur coats in the country is held by Pyatigorsk fur factories.
Fur shops
Fur coats are sold in regular markets, in stores, and in the factories themselves. The most popular markets among buyers of fur coats are “Lira” and “Lyudmila”; they have the largest selection of fur, from a simple mouton to noble varieties of mink, chinchilla, and lynx. There are not only different types of fur to choose from, but also products of different purposes and designs: short fur coats, vests, coats, swingers, jackets, boas, muffs, mittens and much more. The design of the products is also varied, from strict classic to shocking.
Fur market
The range of manufactured products in Pyatigorsk is simply huge, the demand for products is constantly growing in many regions of the country, so a specialized fur market was founded in the city, the main activity of which is the wholesale sale of products. Almost all fur factories and workshops in Pyatigorsk have their own representative offices in this market, not only nominal ones, but also those carrying out trade.
The fur market is located on the outskirts of the city, approximately 1 kilometer from the Pyatigorsk - Nalchik "Caucasus" highway (runs from the village of Inozemtsevo, past the markets "Lyudmila", "Lira", "Kazachiy" and further to Nalchik at 150-200 m from the roundabout at the entrance to Pyatigorsk (Goryachevodsk), on the other side of the road there is a site for truckers. From “Lyudmila” it’s about 10-15 minutes by car. Open on Tuesdays and Fridays, but on Friday it’s a skin day - selling skins, and you have to buy fur coats go on Tuesday. The market starts working from 5 am until lunch, at about 10 o'clock there is little left there.
Approximate prices for mink coats: from 30 to 60 thousand rubles. Bargaining is appropriate.
Subtleties
Due to the fact that fur is a specific material, prices for fur coats can fluctuate very significantly. They depend on the type and quality of fur, on the size of the fur plates used for sewing, on the size of the product, and on the design. Products made from fur from the top lots of international fur auctions, by definition, cannot be cheap, just like designer products made from simpler fur.
It is best to make a purchase with the participation of a specialist, or, as a last resort, by analyzing the information available on the Internet about specific factories, prices and types of fur.
Fur tours to Pyatigorsk
Recently, tour operators working in the domestic tourism market have begun to offer their clients fur tours to Pyatigorsk. Typically, such tours combine study tours to several fur factories, consultations with furrier specialists, visits to the city’s fur markets with health and entertainment programs in the region.
Assortment of the Pyatigorsk fur coat market
The range of outerwear made from natural fur on the market is very rich: fur coats and sheepskin coats, coats and sheepskin coats, coats and vests of all styles and colors from economy to premium class. The range of warm outfits is very wide: long and short, loose and fitted, classic and modern, formal and flirty. Each model is unique - it is an example of style and elegance, beautiful cut and exquisite finishing.
In addition to outerwear, you can buy here everything that can be made from natural fur. There is a wide selection of accessories: hats, bags, belts and even sheepskin slippers with fur trim. Covers for car seats, stools and various fur souvenirs are also sold here.
The variety of types of fur is impressive: mouton, astragan, astrakhan fur, rabbit, arctic fox, mink, nutria, raccoon, marten, beaver, fox, silver fox, sable, chinchilla and others. There is a small selection of leather goods (jackets, raincoats, gloves) and wool (scarves, shawls, shawls, mittens and socks).
Fur market in Pyatigorsk: operating hours
For those wishing to purchase ready-made fur products, the fur market in Pyatigorsk is open once a week - on Tuesday, from early morning until noon. Another working day, called “raw”, is Friday, when only semi-finished fur products are presented on the shelves. Manufacturers of fur products purchase furs and dressed skins, accessories and other goods necessary for sewing fur coats on the market.
A number of online sources also indicate additional market opening days, such as Wednesday and Saturday. But it is better to clarify information about the possibility of visiting the fair on these days of the week in advance.
It should be borne in mind that there is such a thing as “fur coat season,” which begins in August and lasts until February-March. During this period, buyers are pleased with fur products at the peak of fashion for the coming season from manufacturers, but they should not expect discounts on fashionable new items. But the period from April to June is the season of discounts and sales, when the desired new things can be purchased at affordable prices. So you can always count on a successful purchase when you come to the fur coat market in Pyatigorsk.

There is no need to wait for winter when prices will jump, decide now. Greece, with its fur coat markets, is simply relaxing: in the suburbs of Pyatigorsk, in the village of Khoroshevsky, the largest fur coat market in Russia with a thousand trading places is located. There are shops at workshops, boutiques, and exhibitions and fairs from manufacturers, of which there are more than 200.
It all started with the fact that until the mid-90s a large fur factory operated in Pyatigorsk. Five hundred people worked here. After the 1998 crisis, many left the enterprise and began to cut according to their own patterns. Fur makers managed to establish their own production facilities, and now a third of Russian fur coat production is concentrated here. In Khoroshevsky everyone knows about fur coats and they told us something.
OUR FORD IS BETTER THAN CHINESE
The Pyatigorsk fur market has more than 1,000 retail outlets. Sellers lure buyers with mummies of animals, from whose skin the goods are made, and signs with huge discounts. As soon as you take a closer look at the fur coat, they immediately take it off and throw it over your shoulders, praising the product in every possible way.
“It suits me very well, it’s tailored just like you,” the seller Vadim showers me with false compliments.
I turn around in front of the mirror. The fur coat fits me like it’s a barrel: the sides bulge, but the shoulders look broad like a grenadier.
“It’s terrible,” I say, “but show me these.”
The seller hastily takes off my fur coat and puts two fur vests on the table - for 8 and 12 thousand rubles.
“This is an arctic fox,” he says. — Russian is more expensive, and Chinese is cheaper. One has elastic fur to the touch, while the other has loose fur. It's all in the finishing. We have it better than the Chinese. We don’t skimp on skins, but the Chinese stretch them three times. It’s easy to check: look at the fault, the “Chinese” will have rare undershoots.
I move on to the next “boutique”, already looking closely at something more reputable.
- Where are you from, girl? - the seller attacks. — If St. Petersburg, Chelyabinsk, then nutria is better. It is waterproof and warm. I do not recommend mink and arctic fox if you travel in a car. They are capricious, for a couple of seasons, it is not recommended to even carry a handbag on your shoulder - there will be a mark.
“DO YOU WANT ME TO OPEN THE LINING?”
After the tenth boutique, fur coats start to dazzle your eyes, and you want to try on less and less. Yes, and one senses a catch in the excessive complimentary behavior of the sellers. Maybe they are trying to present cheaper fur as elite, but just by looking at it, go figure it out. But this is where technology comes to the rescue. Starting this year, all legal fur coats in Russia must be marked with a QR code so that the buyer knows for sure that in front of him is a Mexican jerboa, a Shanghai leopard or an ordinary Tula hare. Read the code using the “Product Check” application, which can be downloaded to your phone from Googleplay or Applestore.
“This is an Australian mouton - a specially made sheepskin,” salesman Arthur introduces me to another fur coat. — Sewn at our Pyatigorsk factory.
“Now let’s see what kind of mouton this is,” I say, taking out my phone and holding it up with the camera to the QR code. The fur coat’s “passport” appears on the screen. I read: the product is on sale. Country: Australia. Dyed fur: no. Manufacturer: Pyatigorsk Fur Factory.
The seller studies these fur coats with interest from behind my shoulder. I didn't deceive you. — Buyers rarely check in this way; more often they take word for it. In general, because of these brands, fur coats have risen in price by 20 percent,” Arthur complains.
But it turns out that you can buy a fur coat on the market without any markings. The seller will whisper and pull out, as a rule, a very old sheepskin coat from under the coat - for those who like to save money at their own peril and risk.
- This is pure mouton. If you want, I’ll cut off the lining and feel it,” Vazgen offers me a wild way of checking.
I refuse and leave. In two hours of walking around fur boutiques, I manage to bore many people with my meticulousness, capriciousness and attempts not only to check the fur through the phone, but also to properly tug at it with my fingers. Sellers frown at such treatment of fur coats and increasingly suggest that I “try to buy for this price in Moscow.”
FOUR NAIVE QUESTIONS ABOUT CHOOSING A FUR COAT
What to look for when purchasing
The hem should be open, not stitched, so that you can see the inside of the fur coat - whether it is sewn from whole skins or small pieces. The thread color of a good fur coat should be the same as that of the fur. Natural fur is soft and elastic. If it is rough and does not shine, it means it is of poor quality or artificial. On each fur coat, look for a manufacturer's label with the production address and a label with care instructions.
What should fur be like?
Run your hand against the hairs. The fur is soft and immediately returns to its natural position, without breaking or bristling? When twitching, the fur does not fall off and remain in the fingers? (Mink, raccoon and otter do not shed; a couple of hairs may fall from a fox or arctic fox, but nothing more.) Is the underside of a good fur coat light and not dyed? Then you have to take it!
Which style and color to choose
Tall and slender girls will suit any style, including fur coats that are fashionable this season to the middle of the knee, slightly tapered at the bottom. If you have wide hips, buy A-line models - from the armpits to the waist or to the floor. For women with broad shoulders, bell-bottoms are suitable - from the armpits or from the waist. Trapezoidal models will suit the face of short, robust women, but not below the knee. For brunettes, white and any bright colored fur is suitable. But avoid black so as not to blend in with your fur coat. And blondes should pay attention to black and blue products.
Does the fur coat have a guarantee, expiration date and quality certificate?
When purchasing, it is very important to consider whether the fur coat has a guarantee, expiration date and quality certificate. For any fur coat not purchased on the market or second hand, you must be issued a quality certificate. It will indicate the name and legal address of the manufacturer, the country and legal address of the manufacturer, if the fur coat is not made in Russia. There will also be the name of the organization that carried out the certification, with the seal and signature of the director of this organization, the type of fur, the type of product, GOST quality standards and the validity period of the certificate.
By law, the manufacturer has the right not to establish a warranty period. However, many factories and stores, in the fight for buyers, still provide warranty cards for a period of 6 to 12 months. The guarantee begins with the onset of the season, in Russia this is November 1. If during this time you notice that there is something wrong with the fur coat, you can return it to the store. But to do this you will have to prove that this is a factory defect, and not your crazy hands. In such cases, the fur coat is sent for examination. So she will judge between you and the manufacturer.

Reconstruction of pavilions
The European fashion for the reconstruction and transformation of collective farm markets is actively spreading in Russian cities. The place of randomly placed open-air stalls and tents is replaced by modern, customer-friendly, covered buildings. Last year, a large-scale project to reconstruct the Upper Market in Pyatigorsk was presented. The main investor is the largest Russian shoe retailer - . It is planned to invest at least two billion rubles.

During the first year of work on the project, we managed to open three pavilions: a fish pavilion, a fruit and vegetable pavilion, and the largest food court in the North Caucasus with an area of one and a half thousand square meters. The renovation of the complex is being carried out in stages, so the market will not be closed during construction work. The new retail space is equipped with the most modern and powerful equipment. Here you can find aquariums with live fish and a fish bar, where, at the buyer’s request, the freshly purchased products can be prepared.

The entire shopping complex will be designed in country style using natural wood, brick and natural stone. Much attention is paid to the fire safety system. Not long ago there was a fire at the Upper Market that spread to an area of more than a thousand square meters. Then many entrepreneurs who rented retail space suffered big losses. The flames even spread to neighboring houses. Therefore, we are now studying this issue especially carefully.

It is planned that the market will consist of two large buildings for the “Vegetables and Fruits” blocks, a food court and seven smaller buildings for other groups of goods. The transformation of a shopping complex implies not only external changes, but also changes in the trading culture. This means that the appearance of the outlet, assortment and operating mode will be strictly regulated. At the moment, 256 points out of 800 planned are operating. In the near future, there will be sidewalks, a large parking lot, and areas for family recreation.

The reconstruction is expected to be completed by 2021. The final stage will be the opening of access to the transport hub. Thus, the Upper Market will not just be a trading space, but also a place with a rich infrastructure that meets the latest European standards.
