Furs of Tysmenytsya

Today we drove to Tysmenytsya a town of about 10,000 people and home to a world class fur industry.
The town is just outside of Ivano-Frankivsk and about 50 kms from Kolomaya . Tysmanytsia was known throughout Europe for it's fur industry since before the 17th century and today has over 45 stores offering a variety of fur garments and accessories. We were there to help a friend find a fur coat for the winter.  Although the winters here are not that cold the humidity makes it feel much colder and thus the need for a warm fur coat.
