LUXURIOUS WARM SOFT NEW ZEALAND POSSUM FUR
Australian Brushtail Possums were introduced into the native New Zealand forest in the late 19th century to create a fur industry. The present number of approximately 70 million possums browse through 21,000 tons of vegetation each night. Possum drastically reduce native birdlife, as they compete for vital seeds and food sources. You are helping to save the remaining native trees, plants and birds of Aotearoa New Zealand, by choosing a Possum Fur Product.
(Control of Possum is endorsed by the Department of Conservation of New Zealand.)

 

 

OUR STORY

Mahana Eco Fur has two unique ranges featuring products produced from Brushtail Possum Fur pelts, from Kapua-Merino wool knit fabric or from a blend of both. All items are hand made in NZ to stringent quality standards.

The Fashion story is based around two classic fur coats, one swing and the other a long slim coat and a selection of very desirable fur and Kapua-Merino accessories. The beautiful fur edged Kapua-Merino wool wraps are favorites worldwide. The range is contemporary and designed in New Zealand.

The Homewares story is in essence a collection of beautiful fur throws with a compliment of accessories, such as a fur pillow or a Kapua-Merino leather bound sofa blanket. This range is sold to the six top US design houses thorough a partnership of two New York women. It is also sold in Italy and France

An Armenian furrier, visiting Craigmore has compared Brushtail Possum Fur to costly sable in texture and quality. The Maori name "Mahana" meaning warm was chosen as possum fur is both extraordinarily warm and light.
