Bare Nesssecities
SIBERIA is the first Manufacturer in new Zealand
To use Shorn, double-faced Possum Skins for Garments.
For our Blankets and Accessories, however, we leave the
Dense and voluminous Full Fur.
WHY SHORN?
softer
By Shearing the Possum Fur we get rid of the
longer and Thicker 'guard' hair.
Shorn Possum fur is incredibly soft
yet retains Excellent insulating qualities.
Less Bulk
Most Fur coats show the fur on the outside
and can look bulky And unflattering.
Shearing the fur led us to use the fur on the inside.
The feeling of fur next to the skin is instantly warm,
comfortable and luxurious.
WHAT IS DOUBLE FACE?
Lighter
Double-face pelts have leather on one side and the naturally grown fur on the reverse, hence our products are made of one single layer.
The leather is rich Salamanca brown. We cure to a slight vintage look. also we leave some of the natural unevenness in the fur and leather, which ages beautifully.
A FUR COAT IN DISGUISE
Siberia coats show the supple leather on the outside
and have the soft,luxurious fur on the inside.
our fur coats are extremely light, have little volume
and can be packed easily for travelling.
Siberia jackets combine the luxury of a fur coat
with the understated elegance of a leather jacket.
The whole product, from dressing to design and manufacturing is
MADE IN NEW ZEALAND
