The Ultimate Luxury: Real Fur Blankets and Throws – Prices, Durability, and Investment Value
When it comes to adding warmth, elegance, and luxury to your home, nothing compares to a real fur blanket or throw.
Whether draped across a bed, used as a statement piece on a sofa, or wrapped around you for warmth, fur blankets offer an unmatched level of comfort and sophistication. At Samara’s Furs, we specialize in creating 100% handcrafted fur blankets and throws, tailor-made to your exact specifications. In this blog, we’ll explore the prices of real fur blankets, their longevity, and why investing in a fur blanket is both a luxurious and practical choice.
How Much Does a Real Fur Blanket Cost?
The cost of a real fur blanket or throw varies depending on the type of fur, the size, and the craftsmanship involved. Below are the typical price ranges for two of the most popular types of fur blankets:
Fox Fur Blankets: A luxurious fox fur blanket generally ranges from $5,000 to $10,000, depending on the size, type of fox fur (silver, red, arctic), and the craftsmanship involved in the piece.
Mink Fur Blankets: Mink fur, known for its incredibly soft texture and sleek appearance, tends to be a bit more expensive. Prices for mink fur blankets start at around $7,000 and can go up to $15,000 or more for larger, bespoke designs. Mink is one of the most popular choices for fur blankets due to its durability and elegance.
At Samara’s Furs, we offer factory prices, meaning that you receive these exquisite fur blankets at a fraction of the cost compared to traditional retail stores, while maintaining the same level of luxury and craftsmanship. Since our blankets are tailor-made to your specifications, you also have the opportunity to create a custom, one-of-a-kind piece that fits your space and style perfectly.
Why Are Real Fur Blankets Expensive?
There are several reasons why real fur blankets, whether made from fox, mink, or other furs, come with a higher price tag compared to synthetic or lower-quality blankets. Let’s explore the key factors:
1. Exquisite Material
The primary factor that drives the cost of a real fur blanket is the material itself. Natural fur is highly coveted for its softness, warmth, and unique texture. Each type of fur has its own distinct feel and appearance, with mink offering a sleek, refined look, while fox provides a more voluminous and plush aesthetic. The rarity of the fur, particularly for certain types like silver fox or high-quality mink, also contributes to its higher price.
2. Handcrafted Excellence
At Samara’s Furs, every fur blanket is handcrafted by skilled artisans, ensuring that each piece is meticulously sewn and designed for durability and aesthetic appeal. The process of creating a fur blanket requires selecting matching pelts, ensuring uniformity in color and texture, and stitching them together with precision. This level of craftsmanship takes time and expertise, adding to the overall cost of the final product.
3. Customization
Another reason for the higher price of real fur blankets is the customization involved. When you order a fur blanket from us, we tailor it to your exact measurements and design preferences, ensuring a unique and perfectly fitted product. This personalized approach allows you to create a bespoke item that cannot be found elsewhere, further adding to the luxury of the piece.
4. Sustainability and Ethical Sourcing
Real fur, when sourced responsibly, is a sustainable and natural material. At Samara’s Furs, we are committed to ethical sourcing, ensuring that all of our furs are obtained from reputable suppliers who adhere to animal welfare standards. This ethical approach to sourcing increases the cost of the raw materials but ensures that your purchase aligns with sustainable practices.
Durability: A Blanket for Generations
One of the key advantages of investing in a real fur blanket is its longevity. Unlike synthetic or lower-quality materials, a real fur blanket can last for 30 to 40 years or more with proper care. Here’s why they are built to stand the test of time:

1. Natural Durability
Fur, especially from animals like mink and fox, is naturally durable and resilient. Real fur is designed to withstand harsh climates, making it an incredibly tough and long-lasting material. When properly cared for, fur maintains its texture, softness, and appearance for decades, meaning your fur blanket will remain in pristine condition for many years to come.
2. Quality Craftsmanship
At Samara’s Furs, we ensure that each fur blanket is created with the highest quality craftsmanship. The stitching, lining, and construction of our fur blankets are designed to endure regular use without losing their structure or beauty. This ensures that your investment in a real fur blanket will provide lasting comfort and luxury, becoming a family heirloom passed down through generations.
