Groundhog coat
Features and Benefits
Groundhog fur was used for fur coats in Russia. Not only fur coats were sewn from it, but also trimmed clothes and sewed hats. At present, women of fashion choose this fur because it looks very feminine and gentle and at the same time expensive.

Now manufacturers offer not only clothed options suitable for autumn and spring, but also more insulated models that can just withstand fairly good cold, up to about -20.
Such a fur coat is suitable for those who like to change their wardrobe often, but at the same time love quality and save money.
