OUR PRODUCT

Top Grade
New Zealand
Wild Possum Fur

The Australian Brushtail possum was introduced to New Zealand in 1837 to establish a wild fur trade. Possum fur is a hollow fibre which gives a high-preforming and lightweight insulation much like a polar bear. Hence why the pioneers chose to use possum fur above other animal furs.

We only use 100% wild New Zealand possum in our products and follow the traditional techniques handed down by furriers.
