The best fur products in Europe are made in the north of Italy. Therefore, we will visit together exclusive fur coat boutiques in Milan, where it is worth noting the wide range of goods on offer: in Milan you can always choose an original product made of sable, chinchilla, mink, karakul, fox, ermine, arctic fox, lynx and other fur.
In addition, there is an opportunity to visit branded and little-known fur coat factories outside of Milan. The cost of the program is discussed individually.
You can order any number of hours of fur coat shopping. On average, such a program is designed for 4-6 hours, but you understand – sometimes it is so pleasant and interesting to choose a fur coat that it is pleasant to spend several days on it. Therefore, everything is individual.
How profitable is it to buy a fur coat in Milan?
If you compare prices in fur stores in Moscow, Novosibirsk and Astana and in factories in Italy, then the markup in a Russian store for one item will be on average 2000 euros. Another advantage is that buying a fur coat in Italy at a factory is absolutely affordable for both wholesalers and buyers who buy the item at retail.
It is in Italy that the most advanced technologies for the production of fur garments are concentrated, and the models themselves are created by famous designers. Naturally, the quality of the tanning of the skins and tailoring always remains at a high level, so a shopping tour for a fur coat in Milan always pays off.
As for the choice of men’s fur coats, such coats are not very popular in Italy and only some designers sew men’s fur coats. Nevertheless, the range of men’s fur coats in Milan is not the widest, but it exists. There is also a great opportunity to order a custom-made fur coat.
How and what can I use to get to the factory itself?
It is worth noting that in the suburbs of Milan there are about eight factories, including such famous houses as ANNABELLA and MALAMATI, where we will choose a beautiful fur coat if the shops inside Milan itself are not enough for us.
The best selection of fur coat factories is in the north of Italy. This trend is due to the cold climate of the northern Italian regions. Fur coats created by Italian craftsmen here are a real work of fur art.
Features of purchasing a fur coat at a factory
It should be taken into account that the more famous the brand of the product, the less likely it is to be purchased directly from the factory. Most often, owners of famous brands have their own distributors, whom you can contact regarding the purchase of items.
If the factory agrees to direct sale, it will set certain requirements for the order amount (for example, the minimum purchase amount can be approximately 10 thousand euros). In this case, you can purchase a product from both the current and previous collections.
In addition, fur factories, showrooms and boutiques offer the opportunity to apply for tax free refund of value added tax in the amount of 13-14% of the purchase price, which will make the purchase of a fur coat even more profitable.
Since the most favorable prices for fur coats are provided by manufacturers, it means that the prices in factories will be several times lower than in boutiques in the center of Milan.
On Sundays, factories, showrooms and boutiques are usually closed, but we have the opportunity to organize shopping accompaniment to some showrooms and boutiques especially for our clients, also on a day off – Sunday. Therefore, you can come to us for a tour at any time.
As a rule, fur coats of size 50 and above are not always presented in factories, boutiques and showrooms, but you can still find them. If you cannot find a fur coat of the required size, you can order a custom-made one. Such a fur coat will cost on average 10-20% more than a ready-made one, but it will definitely fit you perfectly.

How to choose a quality fur coat?
If you still decide to go buy a fur coat yourself, here are some tips on how to do it.
Firstly, when conducting a fur tour in Milan, it is better to give preference to well-known brands that have already established themselves quite well in the market. Secondly, when making a purchase, pay attention to the cost of the fur coat – do not be happy if the price is too low, this may indicate low quality of the product, since a good Italian fur coat simply cannot be cheap.
Carefully check the quality of the fur dyeing. To do this, apply a white napkin to the product and squeeze it – it should not be dyed under any circumstances. To check the fur itself, just run your finger along the wool – there should be a clear mark. After that, run your hand against the grain – if the hairs fall out and break, this will indicate poor quality of the fur.
When you go shopping for a fur coat, do not forget to look at the inside of the product – a quality item will not have a lining sewn on. This is done so that the potential buyer can evaluate the quality of the inside of the skins. They should be soft and large enough – otherwise, the fur coat will not last long. The fur itself should not have any unpleasant odor.
If you doubt that you can correctly determine the quality of an item, you can always contact an independent expert – me.
