Fancy furs are luxurious animal pelts that are used to make clothing and accessories. Sables (6 letters) are a type of marten native to Russia and northern Asia, whose fur is prized for its softness and durability. ERMINES (7 letters) are a species of weasel with white fur and a black-tipped tail, which is also highly sought after for its quality. Minks (5 letters) are semi-aquatic mammals whose fur is valued for its softness and sheen. All three of these animals are hunted for their fur, which is then used to make high-end garments and accessories.
