Canada lynx - the best fur on the market
Place of the material on the market
The Canadian lynx is a fur coat, the price of which is quite high compared to other options. The habitat of this species of wild cat is the north of the American continent with its harsh climatic conditions. This affects the composition and basic properties of fur.
At the same time, the fur of the Canadian wild cat is weightless and very soft to the touch, which makes products made from its skins light and comfortable. The heat-saving properties of a Canadian lynx coat, the price of which is much higher than its mink counterparts, are suitable for wearing in cold autumn or spring, when heavy rainfall has not yet been observed.
This species of wild cat breeds in captivity, so it plays a significant role in the fur industry. Canada has quotas for hunting animals, and this country is the main supplier of raw materials for the manufacture of elite products.
The high price of a Canadian lynx fur coat is justified by the fact that this material is absolutely legal on the market. The Siberian cat is the only animal whose fur is superior in its characteristics to the skins of the American species, but it is impossible to legally obtain a product from it. The Siberian lynx is listed in the Red Book; its shooting is strictly prohibited. On the black market, of course, the buyer does not receive any quality guarantees.
The price of a high-quality Canadian lynx fur coat is determined by many factors, but in any case, the product must have a unique identification code. Only in this case will you receive a guarantee for it, and the manufacturer does not need to neglect the technologies for manufacturing their goods. The most expedient way to save money is to purchase a fur coat from a previous collection.
How the price is formed
The most highly valued is the ventral part of the skin, which is white with contrasting black spots. A short fur coat made of stiffer red fur will cost much less. A fur coat made from red backs belongs to the budget category, but it is more wear-resistant and warms better.
If you can't afford such an expensive purchase, don't despair. Wild cat skins are widely used for decorative edging of mink and other cheaper fur. The lynx collar is very pleasant to the touch and significantly transforms products made from light materials. But you don't have to shell out a fortune for an elegant outfit.
Where to wear
Such an expensive and high-status wardrobe item is the optimal solution for special occasions. The collections of global manufacturers include models for every taste and age - exclusive fur will decorate any woman and will be a stylish wardrobe accessory.
As part of an everyday look, such a wardrobe item is not practical enough. But a true fashionista’s wardrobe should definitely have this timeless item - just provide it with a suitable place to store it and wear it in the best moments of life!
