The Art of Fur-Making in Kastoria — A 50-Year Family Tradition

 In the heart of northern Greece, where the Orestiada lake reflects the mountains of Macedonia, there is a city that has been making the world's finest fur garments for centuries. Kastoria is not just a place — it is a living tradition. And TatiFurs is proud to be part of it.

How It Began
Our family's journey in fur began in 1972 in Kastoria and Siatista, Greece. Like many families in the region, fur was not just a profession — it was a way of life. The craft was learned from master furriers who had themselves learned from their fathers and grandfathers, stretching back generations.

The Craft
Making a genuine fur blanket or fur coat by hand is a painstaking process. Each pelt is carefully selected for its quality, color consistency, and texture. The pelts are then matched, cut, and sewn together by hand — a process that requires years of experience to master. A single fox fur blanket may require dozens of carefully matched pelts and many hours of skilled labor.

The Pelts
We use only premium full-skin fox pelts, mink pelts, and rabbit pelts — sourced from certified farms that meet strict quality and welfare standards. SAGA-certified fox fur, one of the highest grades available, is used in our finest pieces.

What We Make
Over the decades, our collection has grown to include genuine fox fur blankets, double-sided fox fur blankets, mink fur coats, fox fur coats and jackets, rabbit fur blankets, fox fur collars, scarves, bags, hats, and sheepskin slippers. Every single piece is handmade in Greece.

Worldwide
What began as a local craft has grown into a worldwide business. Today, TatiFurs ships genuine handmade fur products to customers across the United States, Europe, Australia, and beyond — all from our workshop in Kastoria and Siatista, Greece.

We invite you to explore our collection at TatiFurs and bring a piece of this extraordinary tradition into your home.

Mink Fur vs Fox Fur Coats — Which is Right for You?

 When investing in a genuine fur coat, the most common question is: mink or fox? Both are exceptional choices, but they offer very different aesthetics and wearing experiences. Here is a complete comparison to help you decide. Beige mink fur jacket — timeless elegance. Shop mink → Appearance Mink fur has a short, dense, flat pile — giving it a sleek, refined, and classic appearance. It is the most "elegant" of furs, associated with old Hollywood glamour and timeless sophistication. Fox fur, by contrast, has a long, flowing, voluminous pile — dramatic, bold, and unmistakably luxurious. Fox fur makes a statement; mink fur whispers elegance. Warmth Both are exceptionally warm, but fox fur — with its longer, denser pile — provides slightly more insulation. For extreme cold, fox fur is the warmer choice. For milder winters and more formal occasions, mink is ideal. Weight Mink fur coats are lighter than fox fur coats of comparable size. Thi...
