rabbit pelts

Soft animal hides

Rabbit pelts are the skins of rabbits, typically removed with fur intact, used for clothing, crafts, or leather goods.

The fur trade historically relied heavily on rabbit pelts for affordable warmth: The trapper sold his rabbit pelts at market.

Pelt implies the skin has been removed from the animal, distinguishing it from fur still on a living creature.
