Not all the new furs are so high-priced. Some of them (wolf, mole, bull and hamster) cost well under $700, several (rabbit and fox paws), less than $300. The customer will obviously be paying more for the labor than for the fur. For, as Kaplan says of the new furs, "We have plucked them, unplucked them, sheared them, dyed them, cut them out, stenciled them and printed them. In other words, a little bit of God, and much of man."
