FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The World’s Finest and Most Diverse Fur Collection Announced
- Fur Harvesters Auction, American Legend and Saga Furs join forces for 2014 selling season
Saga Furs in Helsinki, Finland will host the auction events of a lifetime in the 2014 selling season. Fur
Harvesters Auction based in North Bay, Canada and American Legend Cooperative based in Seattle,
WA, will bring their goods to Finland to be sold under one roof at the 11-21 March (inspection from 4
March) and 1-11 June (inspection from 26 May) auctions.
Each of the three prestigious fur companies will sort, grade, catalog, and sell its own goods, in a logical
order for the buying community. The two sales bring together the best European and North American
mink with the best foxes and the best North American wild fur to create the finest and most diverse
fur collections ever offered in one place. The joint March offering in Helsinki is expected to contain 6
million mink, 1 million foxes, and the world’s finest collection of Canadian sable, lynx cats, fisher, lynx
and all other wild fur articles.
The starting point of the cooperation was an impossible auction calendar in February and March 2014,
further complicated by all the fur fairs taking place around the world. But the real driving forces of the
new deal were the incredible benefits that the three companies could of
fer to fur farmers, trappers, and
the buying trade.
Saga Furs in Helsinki traditionally attracts a large and diverse group of buyers due to its strong foothold
in Hong Kong/China, the proximity to Russia and a close working relationship with the leading
fashion houses in Europe and their suppliers. Fur Harvesters Auction and American Legend will add
an additional level of quality buyers in the auction room, thus bringing together the key players in the
global mink, fox and wild fur business.
The combined annual turnover of the three companies is well over USD 1.5 billion, with all three
companies posting consecutive record profits over the past 4 years.
