Rex Fur is More Than Just for Accessories

With the increasing trend of fur sales internationaly, I am observing a new generation of fur styles emerging onto the sales room of several fur stores and fashion boutiques. Of course, mink is, and will continue to be number oneseller, but there is something that is somewhat new and growing rapidly, Rex Fur. Rex fur has for a long period been the accessory fur option for a number of years. Particularly with shawls and headbands and its predominantly weaved together. But what is it and why is it growing in attractiveness?

Rex is hybrid between a Chinchilla and a rabbit. The advantage of combining both animals has given the fur market a much-needed boost. Here are the reasons why:

1. Rex inherites from the Chinchilla a fur that is incredibly soft, hence why individuals prefer to wear it close to their face and neck. Plus chinchilla has the advantage of being more durable than rabbit, so it maintains its elegance for a extended time and does not shed.

Second, similar to rabbits, rex breeds very quickly, making the supply always available. In addition, Rex is ranched and consumed for human food in certain parts of the world. To some, this aspect is considered important.

Third, Rex is relatively inexpensive as compared to the other customary furs. For example, a Rex scarf will sell close to $80 to $150 for a soft fur headband. That kind of price makes rex more obtainable to a larger number of shoppers.

The end result is that  Rex is becoming a very silky fur that everyone can afford.

With its growing popularity, many fashion experts are creating new fashionable outerwear in a number of forms. For example, fashion guru Paula Lishman, who is known for her weaved garments, is inventing exquisite apparels, from fur jackets to blouses and pants done in  rex.

Another feature of rex that is trendy, is with two-sided jackets and fur liners. We are seeing a large selection of fur liners that are entirely reversible done in of rex. Because of the functionality, warmth and affordable price, the fur liners are becoming very popular. These features make sense to many buyers.
