Part 4. History of fur fashion: period of fur muffs and wraps -DE

Posted by on August 30, 2014 . 0 Comments.

The year 1700 and over marks the period when fur muffs became extremely trendy.  Hand muffs were made of very precious and luxurious fur. As time went by, reaching the start of the 19 th century, wraps trimmed with fur came into fashion and reached their fashion peak. Wraps with nice surrounds made of fur were commonly worn on clothes.  If we get back to the England of the 19th century, we would witness aristocrat women pranking themselves with silk wraps trimmed with fox fur surrounds and fitting fur hand muffs to them.

At the beginning of the 19 the century, Europe most frequently imported fur from North America; these were wraps turned inside out (with fur inside) made of ermine fur, also of other most expensive fur.

Having made a break in its prosperity in the middle of the 19th century, the fashion of fur came back at the beginning of the 20th century.
