Fur Alma By Miklos Steinberg May 2026

For those unfamiliar, "Alma"—derived from languages as diverse as Latin, Hebrew, and Hungarian (the homeland of the Steinberg family)—means "soul," "kind," or "nurturing." It is a fitting title for a collection that seeks to breathe soul back into the ancient craft of furriery. To understand the value of Fur Alma by Miklos Steinberg , one must first appreciate the hands behind the needle. Miklos Steinberg is not a mass-market designer; he is a third-generation furrier who grew up amidst the scent of pelts and the whisper of silk linings in Budapest’s historic Jewish Quarter—once the fur capital of Central Europe.

Steinberg employs a team of seven master furriers, none under the age of 55. They use a technique called point par point —each pelt is stretched, shaved to an exact micrometer of thickness, and then sewn using a single continuous silk thread. If a stitch breaks, the entire seam is unraveled and restarted. Furthermore, Steinberg personally inspects every Alma piece. He is known for rejecting up to 15% of production for minor flaws invisible to the untrained eye—a slightly mismatched nap, a seam that sits one millimeter off center. In an era where the fur trade is under intense scrutiny, Fur Alma by Miklos Steinberg has taken a controversial but transparent stand. Steinberg does not use fur from factory farms. Instead, he sources exclusively from Indigenous trapping cooperatives in Northern Canada and regulated wild-harvest programs in Siberia, where populations are managed to maintain ecological balance. fur alma by miklos steinberg
