Plucking Process

Fur Plucking is a crucial stage in the fur processing cycle, involving the removal of excess hair to achieve a smooth, high-quality surface. This process, carried out using manual tools or specialized machinery, is essential for preparing pelts to be transformed into luxury garments, accessories, and home décor items.

The Plucking Process

Plucking takes place through several steps:

• Skin Preparation: The pelts are carefully cleaned and treated to facilitate the removal of surplus hair.
• Hair Removal: Using hand scrapers or dedicated machines, excess hair is gently removed while preserving the integrity of the leather surface.
• Quality Control: After plucking, each skin is inspected to ensure the surface is uniform and ready for further processing.

Benefits of Plucking

• Surface Uniformity: Removing excess hair results in a smooth, even pelt—ideal for crafting premium products.
• Enhanced Absorption of Subsequent Treatments: A plucked pelt absorbs dyeing, printing, or finishing treatments more evenly, improving the final outcome.
• Added Value to the Final Product: Meticulous plucking enhances the aesthetics and quality of finished pieces, making them more refined and desirable.

Applications of the Plucking Technique

Plucking is used to prepare skins for:

• Garments: Jackets, coats, and other fur clothing that demand a flawless, high-end finish.
• Accessories: Bags, gloves, and other leather accessories that benefit from a smooth, refined appearance.
• Home Décor Items: Cushions, throws, and other decorative pieces requiring an aesthetically pleasing and soft-to-the-touch surface.
