Rabbit Fur Cape

Rabbit Fur and Rabbit Skin Cape

This handcrafted cape by Roberta Benally (Navajo/Diné) combines soft rabbit fur and rabbit skin in a striking wearable design. Natural variations in the brown and cream fur create warmth and texture along the shoulders and neckline, while the light-colored body is finished with long fringe around the lower edge and sides. A simple tie closure at the neckline completes the piece.

The use of natural rabbit fur gives each area its own variations in color, texture, and markings, making the cape visually distinctive from every angle.
