Nutria is the star of the show at this unique holiday sale. Handcrafted by 12+ local designers, every piece in the Righteous Fur collection of festive fashions, gifts and stocking stuffers is adorned with lustrous nutria fur — including the stockings themselves! You’ll find nutria-trimmed tree ornaments, catnippy mice with cats-love-em nutria tails, along with a fabulous selection of furry bags, hats, hair accessories and clothing, from nutria-embellished cumberbunds, bow-ties and bustiers to stunning nutria wraps and one-of-a-kind couture pieces. Also on display: elegant nutria-teeth earrings and pendants set in Balinese silver and handcast sterling. Models garbed in high nutria style will add to the fun of a worthy cause: part of all proceeds go to wetlands preservation.
