Rabbit Fur For Coronation Robes
By ROBERT AHJER
Paris. Austerity-ridden British nobility taking part in Queen Elizabeth's corona tion are booming business 'for furriers specialising
in "French" "ermine" trado name for white rabbit.
More than 5,000 carefully selected rabbit skins already have been exported to Britain the "ermine"- expressly for ined court robes of Britain's titledi
gentry, according to Leopold Swinery, president of the French National Fur Association.
"From a distance of more than three yards nobody but real expert can tell the difference," he claimed.
&
Swiners elted two pocket- bout reasons why lowly rab- bit is vying with ermine at Queen Elizabeth's coronation, the most expensive in British history austerity and the "cold war", fact that Russian ermine comes from Russia.
"What's wrong with a rub- blt?" he asked. "Don't forget, real crmino comes from an animal of the weasel tribe."
Stanley Kistlewsky, London fur importer, who estimated he was the biggest supplier of "French ermind" for London's backed carriage trade, o
Swiner's statements. He said France, largest
rabbit-skin exporter in Europe, provided 90 percent of Britain's camou- flaged crmine,
Hopes For Boom
Asked if any rabbit would inside be sneaked into the Ilnings of robes the royal family will wear, Kisilewsky sald he didn't know.
Swiners spoke of "French ermino" - 68 thing of real art. He said 100,000 specially- bred white rabbits alrently had sacrificed their lives for the coronation.
"Out of the 100,000 skins, we selected the 5,000 best and shipped them to England," he sold.
And what about the other 05,000? The Frenchman gave
Callie shrug:
"For the ordinary trade Most will be processed to make hats."
The boom was quite a strain, even for French white rabbits, Swiners said.
But-the-French fur indu»». try hopes the coronation will revive the fashion trend for ermine haty, fur pieces and trimmings. If that bonanza comes, the French are all set.
