By: Elisa Bob, HSUS. Mar. 16, 2001. For years the fur industry has told the world that karakul lamb furs, also known as Persian lamb and broadtail, are simply byproducts of the meat industry.The most sought-after pelts--those stripped from unborn lambs and made into $25,000 suits--come, it says, from normal, spontaneous sheep abortions.t an auction held by Finnish Fur Sales in December 2000, more than 100,000 broadtail pelts were auctioned for between $19 and $70 each. The skin of fetal lambs is worth far more to karakul farmers than lamb chops.
That is debatable; however, these stories have made it a less acceptable fur to wear. For those who admire and wish to acquire Persian Lamb, vintage is the way to go. Persian Lamb is a beautiful fur. Itâs warm, rather sturdy and can be sporty or dressy.ometimes you will see a coat with tiny, nubby curls, and the seller or price tag may also state âPersian Lamb.â This is not fur at all, not even faux fur, but a wool fabric called âboucle.â This was a very popular fabric in the 1950âs, often called âPoodle Cloth,â but it is also confused with Persian Lamb.
