- Associazione Italiana Pelliceria. Site of the Italian furriers,
consequently in Italian. "7,000,000 Italian women own fur, 5,600,000 do
not own fur but would like to own some ..." If only
some of those pictures were larger. Update posted Augustus
21
(June 8) 2001, most parts of
the fashion section.

8 2000)

must read for everyone remotely interested in chinchilla. New June 15 1999.

-
Copenhagen Fur Centre. Site of the Danish fur auction centre and, in its
kind, not bad at all. New entry August 21 2001 (October 3 2000). (Bluefox)

9 (August 24) 1999, update posted August 23
(8) 2001. (MyFurLady)
- Deutsches
Pelzverband,
Germany, Frankfurt am Main. In spite of the
promising start page less than exciting, basically just address information.
New entry June 22 2000 (Augustus 24 1999), update
posted August 24 (January 15) 2001, still not much of interest.
-
Edika,
Greece.
A not too large view of a very attractive collection. New entry November 30
(February 9) 2000 (Elli)
-
European Fur Breeders' Association.
No frills website of the European website, nothing very
exciting but to the point and in English. New entry August 21 (May 2) 2001.
- Fédération Française des Métiers
de la Fourrure.
The
website of the French fur industry - a handful of nice
pictures, but you have to browse through the page.
Bi-lingual. New September 1 1998,
update posted August 23 (20)
2001 (July 13 2000).
- Finnish Fur Sales. A multilingual
site that's only interesting to the industry people and for
the news. Nice design though. New May 29 1999,
update posted August 24 (23) 2001.
- Fur Commission. A 'pros' and
'cons', and the pros leave you in no doubt who the cons are. Useful 'news'
page. New December 11, 1998, update posted August 23 2001.
Now with videos!
-
Fur Fair of Kastoria.
Greece, Kastoria. All the info you could expect, plus
two handfuls of nice pictures. In the 'Fashion show', don't miss the arrow
pointing to the next page. Slow and shaky server when I was looking. New entry
January 21 (17) 2002. (HackJack SSFF)
- www.furs.com. Classic fur site, with useful
information, and great design. Especially the shopping section (used fur ads
and a big address list). Update posted January 25 (22)
2002: Springtime Furs.
- furs.ru. Apparently a Russian fur organisation. Lots
of Russian text or gobbledygook (depending on your browser) but one nice picture.
New entry January 4 2000 (June 25 1999) (Elli)
- Fur Industry in America. Last update March 12, 1998. Not
much going on here.

information. Update posted September 16 (June 3) 1999.

Kastoria. A
gallery that's a real appetizer. Unfortunately, the fair was in April, but

2001. (Elli)

various Greek fur companies and organisations. Well worth to explore,
interesting text and original, stylish pictures all over it. The welcome
page has a handful of different pictures; every time you pas you get to see
a another one. New entry November 11 (5) 1999.
- Hong Kong Fur
Federation. If you don't make it past the opening animation, try this
one: http://is6.pacific.net.hk/~furs/index2.html.
One of the more entertaining
national fur organisation sites, simply by showing pictures of their fur
oriented activities. Sadly, the pictures are often way too small to do the
designs justice. New December 17 (October 20) 1999.
- International Fur Trade Federation, UK. A well designed site with some
useful information. A large collection
of pictures, around for some time, but it's one to go if you haven't
been there already; now also with the Spring 2001 fur fashion. The
`hi-resolution' pictures are very large downloads, even for my tastes or
just Error messages (definitely not my taste). Update
posted September 16 (August 3) 1999, update posted December 7
(November 20) 2000. (STA SSFF)

- Le Monde de la fourrure. A French / Swiss site. Thumbnails of 'to be
requested' pictures here (you can swap too), a story and some other info,
but in French. New December 12 1998. Updated March 2 1999.
- Le collezioni
per l'autunno-inverno '97-98. The big picture, in BIG pictures. Forza
Italia!
- Nederlandse vereniging van
Fokkers van Edelpelsdieren. Dutch organisation of fur

for it's Dutch-only and there isn't much to see. New entry December
17 (October 28) 1999.
- Den
Norske Pelsdyrkontrollen,
Norway (? - It's hosted on a Danish address). If you're

your place, but otherwise it's no pictures or interesting conversations. Norse
(or Danish) only. New entry August 21 (July 10) 2001.
