Squirrel skins spark fashion from Siberia to Paris
The spread of squirrel skin fashion began with a Russian official who used surplus pelts in Siberia to test Parisian taste. Parisian designers and English and American society quickly adopted the look, driving demand. By 1902 US imports reached about 5,000 skins wholesale, at roughly 37 cents, up from 20,000 at 12 cents in 1901, draining Siberian warehouses and boosting profits worldwide.
