About vulpecula

fireplaceOur exquisite interior creations exude sophisticated luxury - combining the growing concept of ethical consumerism with the most sumptuous natural material on the planet – New Zealand Possum fur.

All Vulpecula furs are sourced from New Zealand where the Possum is a major threat within a delicate ecosystem. Introduced into the country in the mid-nineteenth century, the Possum thrived on the local vegetation with its population soon reaching epidemic proportions. Since their introduction, Possums have devastated vast forests and, as a result, many indigenous species, including New Zealand’s iconic flightless bird, the Kiwi, are facing extinction.

As a consequence, the New Zealand government and various conservation organisations have had to take measures to protect the country’s fragile rainforests and unique wildlife.

The little known and yet superior quality Possum fur of New Zealand is gathered by conservation protection agencies and later hand-crafted into exquisite bespoke throws and rugs to create the timeless beauty that is Vulpecula - sophisticated luxury for the conscious consumer.

New Zealand owned and operated in the UK, we at Vulpecula are committed to helping protect our delicate rainforests and wildlife and have pledged a percentage of all sales to The Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society of New Zealand in support of its continued environmental efforts.
