Global fur sales up as consumers choose, says IFTF

Global fur sales have increased for the seventh consecutive year, reaching a figure of US $12.77 billion according to the International Fur Trade Federation (IFTF).

The latest statistics, covering retail sales of full fur garments, trim and accessories for 2005, show a 9.1 percent increase on the previous year's results.

The survey has been carried out annually by the IFTF within its membership since 1998.

"We have just witnessed an incredible month of designers showing fur in Autumn/Winter collections on the international catwalks, and this reflects the continuing strong consumer demand for our product," said IFTF Chairman, Mr Andreas Lenhart.

"Fur is not a 'here-today-gone-tomorrow' fashion - it is an integral part of a winter wardrobe. Innovative new design techniques mean that it is light and versatile so fits with today's lifestyle but provides the warmth and style that the consumer is looking for."

First established in 1949, the International Fur Trade Federation is a federation of 36 national fur trade associations and organisations from 30 countries.

IFTF is fully committed to maintaining high standards of care. The fur trade is well-regulated under international, national or regional laws and guidelines. The international fur trade does not use endangered animals for any purpose.
