Hong Kong Fur Exhibition

Fur in Hong Kong became an important part of the Chinese cultural trade as the Chinese in the North of China used fur just for protection against the cold weather. Fur history dates back to the 11th century. Cold whether similar to Russia with temperatures reaching -40C increased the need for fur trade. 

In the old times, otters, wolf and fox skins were the common furs of choice for the Chinese . Later came Lynx Cat, Mink and Sable fur. 

In Hong Kong, once a British colony and one of the biggest financial centers in Asia, the fur business grew during World War 2 period. Fur became a signature outfit of all the government representatives in that time. Wearing fur however did not mean just warm keeping or status for the Chinese. It was also a fashion statement, a key motive for the big success of  the Hong Kong’s Fur exhibition. 

The Hong Kong fur association was established in 1979 by 57 fur/skin factories. The purpose of the association has been to develop the overseas opportunities, expand the international market, and improve HK local fur business development.
