Guest Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 https://www.pinterest.com/pin/331577591289122570/ I found this on the internet. The fur appears to be dyed navy blue. Is this fur sable or fox? If sable, would dying it this color be considered sacrilege? I know blue fox fur, farmed mink, and sheared wild beaver are often dyed, but sable, and in a shade of blue?!

Worker 11811 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I wouldn't necessarily call it sacrilege but certainly a waste of money. One of the beautiful things about sable is its natural color. Isn't it? Changing its color is changing its natural beauty. Besides, the way I understand, dying fur affects its longevity. Doesn't it? Why pay all that money for something that's not as good? It's a waste of money IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKcoyote Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 My opinion is the image might be mis-labeled. Fox, especially lower quality blue fox, is frequently dyed to make black fox or crystal fox. But I have not heard of sable being dyed. If the garment is dyed sable, then the pelts were probably low quality and not suitable for manufacturing without dying. Having said what I did above, the garment does not look like fox so it could possibly be dyed Canadian sable. I strongly doubt Russian sable would be dyed.
