Shall I choose red fox or blue fox fur? Let's talk babe✨

You may have been thinking...I wonder which kind of fox fur I should buy? Perhaps I should buy a fur blanket to wrap myself in this Winter? Let's chat.

Here at Eluxurie, fox fur is one of our best sellers. This is particularly because of how soft, plush and fashionable this gorgeous fur is. There are over 30 different subspecies of fox, with colors ranging from white to brown to a beautiful blue tone with a typical length of one to two inches. Being highly popular in countries like Russia and Scandinavia, fox fur is also popular here in the United States during Winter season. Blue and red fox fur coats tend to steal the show at Eluxurie. So let's get up on our fox fur education!

First we'll start with Blue Fox fur-which typically comes from farms in Scandinavia. The fur is soft and thick, creating a luxurious, plush feeling...but the length is a bit shorter than red and silver fox fur is. Since it's also suitable for dying, that's why we see it heavily used in apparel and fine home decor. If you'll browse for archives going back to the early 1900s you'll see that blue fox fur has been highly popular for decades. The late Virgil Abloh also loved to work with Fox for for his latest collaboration with Louis Vuitton ❤️ Now let's talk red fox fur. We see the highest quality red fox fur coming directly from the northern United States and Canada. With this type of fur you'll see natural colors tones from a vibrant red to a burnt orange with lighter tones mixed throughout. This fur is dense, long and produces a beautiful sheen and luster. So beautiful to look at in person!

I'd like to point out that in general, fox fur lasts very long with PROPER CARE SO PLEASE MAKE SURE TO REGULARLY clean your coat/vest/stole by furrier method only. Your local furrier or fur specialist will know how to care for your particular fur. This must be done to keep the fur plush and condition the skins so they don't dry out over time. ✨Boutique tip: when you're shopping for a fox fur coat I want you to pay attention to the thickness and density of the underfur. You'll want to make sure that the guard hairs are very soft. If you see these key points you're good to go ❤️
