Intentional growth and purposefully-sourced furs from trusted industry partners both go hand-in-hand for Barkl. She has consistently led with a strong focus on quality. “Nearly all mink are ranch-raised, and North American mink are recognized worldwide for their exceptional quality,” said Barkl. “A beautiful, healthy pelt reflects excellent nutrition, clean living conditions, and attentive care throughout the animal’s life.” Fox fur is raised or responsibly trapped, while beaver, coyote, lynx, bobcat, and raccoon are typically caught in the wild through regulated trapping. “I have great appreciation for the trapping community and the important role it plays in wildlife management, conservation, and maintaining healthy animal populations,” clarified Barkl. “Whether a fur is ranch-raised or wild-caught, I carefully consider its quality, condition, and source before selecting.”
