...inspire them, Saga developed techniques to combine different fur types and colors, as well as to dye, print, shave and twist fur and to treat it so that it can endure dry cleaning. It also helped designers get over any fur hang-ups with an education program. One of Saga's greatest successes has been to create fur that is lighter and thinner.
