Friday Fashion History 101

Every Friday we are going to have a little fashion history lesson.  If we want to be lovers of all things fashion we need to know where it started... today we are talking Astrakhan.


Originally made from the fleece of the karakul lamb which is found in Russia.  Astrakhan is used as a trimming on the collars and cuffs of coats and was made into hats as well.
