At STAMPE DENAMRK, we advocate animal welfare which means the animals wellbeing is always ensured when we are buying all of our Mink and fox skins at the auction houses Kopenhagen fur and Saga fur. Healthy animals produce superior skins.  To bread the healthiest animals in the most sustainable way, our main fur house, Kopenhagenfur.com and Sagafurs.com, is doing as followed: "The auction houses has made substantial investments to continually optimise the environmental conditions on fur farms. Animal welfare means making sure they are always well cared for.
