As early as the 11th century, fur was worn as a symbol of wealth and social status rather than just out of the need for warmth. European retailer royalty regularly wore fur coats, fur capes, and fur accessories made from mink, sable, and chinchilla fur. By the 1300s, laws were introduced that regulated which social classes were allowed to wear which types of furs.
Fur Rose in Popularity During Victorian Era
By the 1950s Fur Became More Affordable and Casual
By the 1950s, most film stars were spotted wearing luxury furs in movies and in their private lives. While the price of fur began to climb, designers also began creating more casual looks with fur. Fur coats became shorter, and it was acceptable to wear furs during the daytime. By the 1960s, fur was more affordable than ever, and designers even began crafting faux fur coats and accessories.
