Matching the Skins
Before any construction begins, individual skins are carefully matched by hand based on color, density, and overall consistency. This step ensures a balanced, uniform appearance throughout the finished garment.
Stretching the Skins
Once matched, the skins are carefully stretched to achieve proper shape, balance, and stability. This preparation helps maintain durability while preserving the natural characteristics of the fur.
Pattern Placement on the Skins
The garment pattern is carefully transferred onto the stretched skins. Accurate pattern placement is essential for symmetry, proper fit, and efficient use of the fur.
Sewing the Skins Together
The cut skins are sewn together using traditional furrier techniques. This stage forms the structure of the garment while ensuring proper fur direction and a smooth, consistent finish.
Hand-Lined Finishing
After construction, the garment is lined by hand. This finishing process ensures comfort, structure, and a clean interior finish designed for long-term wear.
The Finished Piece
The completed garment is carefully inspected for balance, workmanship, and overall quality. The finished piece reflects the skill, time, and attention invested at every stage.
