Discontinued - On Clearance Sale while supplies last

We have always loved our Kolinsky Sable brushes but have made the decision to no longer manufacture them.

Important Note:   Kolinsky brushes are not made from sable martens, but rather from the tails of male Siberian weasels, found in Russia and northern China.  However the status of the fibers is in doubt after its inclusion in CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora).  This makes it extremely difficult to try and manufacture any new brushes that include the fiber.  European farms do raise the animals domestically for this use but it is impossible to genetically tell the difference between the farmed and the listed threatened weasels.  

If an end user or manufacturer can’t tell the difference, why ethically take a chance of importing hair from an animal that may be at risk?  Quality synthetic options are now available and we'll be releasing a line of those as soon as we finish our testing and development.
