Persian Lamb Astrakhan Coats

The Persian lamb astrakhan coat is one of the most refined silhouettes in fine fur. Cut from the tightly curled fleece of the karakul lamb, astrakhan is prized for its rippling moiré pattern, its quiet sheen and a lightness that surprises everyone who lifts one for the first time. Because the pelt lies flatter than long-haired furs, it tailors into sculptural, architectural shapes, which is why it has been the signature of understated luxury for generations. You may also see it called karakul, broadtail or swakara, the finest, flattest grade with the most fluid pattern.

Genuine astrakhan reveals itself in the hand: featherlight weight, supple leather backing, and that unmistakable lustrous curl that no synthetic can convincingly copy. No two pelts carry exactly the same swirl. At LC Leather Club we have worked leather and real fur in Istanbul since 1985, exporting under our own name across Europe from 1988. With more than forty years of hands-on craftsmanship, we select, match and stitch every Persian lamb piece ourselves.
