Arctic fox fur

Arctic fox fur is a type of fur obtained from the arctic fox (also known as the polar fox) and turned into a commodity. The arctic fox is zoologically divided into two color varieties, the white fox and the blue fox, whose fur is also a commodity as blue fox fur.

The white fox, the color variety of the arctic fox, lives in the entire northern polar zone. The retail trade rarely differentiates between the arctic fox fur and the white form of the blue fox, usually the dissimilar fur types are offered as white fox, even a Scandinavian auction house refers to pure white blue foxes as white fox. However, there are relatively few actual arctic fox pelts on the market.

The fur trade classifies the arctic fox fur among the so-called noble fox furs, such as the silver fox fur, the blue fox fur and the cross fox fur.
