Panos Panagiotidis - Master Furrier
At PP Furs, we bring decades of passion, craftsmanship, and expertise to the art of fur design and technology. Founded by Panos, a second-generation furrier with an extensive background in the fur industry, our mission is to preserve and share the traditional techniques and innovation that make fur an honest, sustainable, and luxurious fabric.
Born in Germany and raised in Greece, Panos graduated from the renowned Fur School in Kastoria after three years of rigorous training. Furthering his expertise, he apprenticed under master furriers and tailors in Germany from 1991 to 1993. With his dedication to the craft and a lifelong commitment to quality, Panos has become a recognized authority in fur techniques and technology.
In collaboration with Honorable Prof. Vasilis Kardasis of the Royal College of Art in London, Panos co-taught at the Fur Summer School in Greece in 2015 - 2018. This initiative, supported by esteemed organizations like the IFF, NAFA, SAGA FURS, Fur Europe, and the Hellenic Fur Association, has provided students from across the globe with unparalleled education and hands-on experience in the fur industry.
As a master furrier, teacher, mentor, and guide, Panos is passionate about passing on his knowledge to the next generation. Whether through workshops, courses, or custom designs, he strives to honor the rich history of fur craftsmanship while embracing modern innovations.
Despoina - Head Seamstress
Despoina was born in 1976 in Kastoria, Greece, a city renowned for its fur craftsmanship. She began her career as a fur seamstress at the age of 18, mastering the art of fur tailoring.
From 1995 to 2004, she worked alongside her husband, Panos, in Germany as a seamstress at Moschner & Co. Hock. Upon returning to Greece, she further honed her expertise at esteemed companies such as Panagiotidis Furs, EXPOPEL, Madmosele Furs, and others, becoming a specialist in her field.
In 2020, Despoina moved to Canada, where she has been sharing her extensive knowledge and experience with her husband at Fur Canada.
