Craftsmanship and Creativity

 

When you see a breathtaking piece of modern fur design, you really have no idea of the time and work it takes to produce it. Fur is luxurious and beautiful, but it’s the furrier’s craftsmanship that makes the finished piece unique. The furrier is the genius who transforms meticulously graded pelts into the most elegant garments to realize in fur the vision of the modern fashion designer.

He or she creates ultimate luxury in a modest workshop environment, using simple tools that have barely evolved from century to century. Mixing short hair with long, weaving it to look like a knitted garment, binding the strands to jersey or other fashion fabrics: the number of techniques is as varied as the sands.

The Saga Furs Creative Hub is the world’s principal spot where experiments in fur are nurtured into major material innovations and product designs that create global trends.

Modern creativity in fur begins at Saga Furs Creative Hub (previously known as Saga Furs Design Centre), where the know-how of skilled furriers and fur technicians is shared with design talent from every corner of the fashion world. It’s the place where both established and aspiring designers can embrace fur and understand the fluidity and versatility of the beautiful material. It is the world’s principal spot where experiments in fur are nurtured into major material innovations and product designs that create global trends.

The essential craft of fur begins with the Saga Grading System. As it is with any craft, true expertise demands a dedicated period of learning traditional skills. To offer our customers the most reliable grading system in the world, Saga Furs invests the time needed to educate skilled fur graders who complement the latest advances in automated grading.
