Leather & Fur Craft of Kashmir

One can have shoes or boots or leather coats made to measure in just a few days in Srinagar . The beautifully embroidered Suede coats are particularly interesting, but one has to put one's conscience in the back seat when it comes to the fur trim. The same goes for the many fur coats - fur should be left on the backs of its original owners. Animals such as Wolf, Fox, Jackal, Brown and Black Bear, Marmot, Leopard and Lynx are all being driven from the slopes of the Himalayas by hunters. And in any case the best furs are exported immediately.
