Europeans sought old fur primarily due to its association with status and luxury, as well as its practicality for warmth in colder climates. The demand for fashionable and high-quality fur items, particularly during the 16th to 19th centuries, fueled extensive trade with indigenous peoples in North America and Russia, who supplied various types of fur. Additionally, the decline of certain animal populations led to a fascination with vintage and rare furs, as they became symbols of wealth and exclusivity.
