News in brief
Special chinchilla type for sale At the September auction 2011, Kopenhagen Fur’s auction room will be the scene of a small world premiere. For the first time the chinchilla type Blue Diamond will be offered for sale at an auction house.
To stay as exclusive as possible
The type which is a double recessive type of Afro Violet and Sapphire is bred by the chinchilla farmer Niels Sørig, who began breeding the type in 2001/2002.
The Chinchilla top lot of the June auction was bought by Carlo Guida s.r.l. on behalf of the big Turkish company Punto Deri San Ve Tic Ltd. for 570 DKK (113 USD) per skin.
The chinchilla farmer has spent the last ten years developing the Blue Diamond quality, and now he has produced sufficient animals for a sale.
- Even though the prices are high, Punto wants the top lot for a special limited collection of garments, Tommaso Guida explains.
The Blue Diamond has been displayed already both at the International Kopenhagen Fur Skin Show 2011 and at the June auction 2011.
Punto has its headquarter in Istanbul and is one of the biggest fur brands in Turkey. They make garments of all sorts of fur, but have recently chosen to concentrate on special types like chinchilla and sable to create garments that stand out. - Punto has concentrated on chinchilla this year, they really want the skins and they want the best, Tommaso Guida says.

New Chinese website Kopenhagen Fur’s popular website will have a Chinese sibling in August, 2011, right in time for the new season. The Chinese website will have the same look and same functions as the English one, and the links between the two will allow for smooth transition for different needs. Both websites will be an important interface and source of information for the fur and fashion industry. In tandem with the rapid growth of the fur industry in China, the demand for information has never been bigger. The Chinese website will also play a positive role in integrating the various activities of the company in China, to achieve better synergy with its partners.
