Easy Care Tips for you fur clothing and accessories

10 Easy care tips to keep your fur in peak condition

  1. Always hang your fur on a broad-shouldered wooden hanger, never on a wire hanger. Give your fur enough room in the closet so the fur in not crushed.in a cloth garment bag.  Never hang your fur in a plastic bag or rubber-lined bag. Plastic prevents air from circulating and can dry out the leather. When travelling, store your fur.
  2.  If your fur gets wet, shake it out and hang it to dry in a well-ventilated room. Keep it away from direct heat or a radiator, which can cause both fur and leather to dry out. After it is dry, shake it again. Most furs will take some rain and snow far better than wool or other winter coat will. If the fur is soaked through, however, take it immediately to your fur retailer for proper treatment. Never comb or brush the fur. Just run your hand over the fur in the direction of the pile to smooth.  
  3. Never attempt to moth proof your fur yourself. Home treatments are no substitute for professional cleaning and storage. It is a good idea to put a lavender draw liner in wardrobe, this will keep moths away.We always send our customers a lavender bag to keep with their fur accessories.
  4. Never pin jewellery on your fur. Do not use shoulder straps of a handbag on a consistent basis.
  5. Avoid spraying perfume or hairspray onto your fur. It will discolour the fur.
  6. Always store your fur during warm weather in a cool dark place, giving it plenty of space
  7.  If your fur needs cleaning use a fur specialist, definitely not by a dry cleaner.
  8. Have small rips or tears repaired immediately. This will prevent more expensive repairs later. 
  9. Avoid leaving a fur hanging in a bright place. The light can cause the fur to oxidise or change colour.
