Believe it or not, this summer coat is styled entirely from salmon skin! It was made by a woman from the Nanai ethnic group--also known as the Goldi--who live near the Amur River in eastern Siberia. The strips of salmon skin were dried, soaked, massaged and sewn together, then trimmed with sumptuous salmon-skin appliqué.
