EUROPEAN FUR AUCTION SUCCEEDED IN SELLING NORTH AMERICAN SKINS

Finnish fur auction house Saga Furs has concluded a remarkable March auction drawing almost 1,000 international buyers - a record in the international fur trade. The strong attendance ensured competition despite an uncertain market situation, and the total sales value for Saga Furs' auction was 238 million euros.

The auction was the result of a joint partnership between American Legend Cooperative of Seattle and Fur Harvesters Auction Inc. of Canada. The partnership meant that Saga Furs could offer a unique supply of skins, and this has been well recieved by customers.

Also the next auction at Saga Furs will offer a wide supply of North American skins. The auction takes place 1.-12. June. It is unknown whether the unusual global partnership will continue next season.
