What better to wear during winter than luxuriously warm 100% Possum Skin Mittens. On the outside is Possum Leather, on the inside is the fur. The Black trim is possum leather with the fur removed.
Possum Leather is one of the strongest leathers by weight available in the world, and possum fur is a hollow fibre which traps air, making it one of the world's warmest fibres, warmer than wool.
Sizes equate to the following international glove sizes:
XS = 5 to 5.5
Small = 6 to 6.5
Medium = 7 to 7.5
Large = 8 to 8.5
XL = 9 to 9.5
Invest in a pair of Possum Fur Mittens this winter, and feel the lightweight incredible, natural warmth of possum fur.
And remember, by buying this product you are helping New Zealand rid itself of the introduced Australian Brushtail Possum. The Possum was introduced into New Zealand in the 1800s, to be processed for the fur trade. What nobody realised was that New Zealand's climate was conducive to the possum breeding many more times a year than they did in Australia. And that possums loved our native bush.
Whilst it may be hard for some to fathom trapping and killing this pest with the beautiful fur coat, when you see the devastation wrought by possums on our native forest and our native birds, especially the endangered Kiwi, you understand why we must get rid of it. To save our beloved native Kiwi bird, we must get rid of the introduced possum.
So thanks for helping!
