Because fur coats last for so long, they are often passed down to future generations when someone passes away. However, even though these coats have longevity, the styles change often. By the time you inherit your grandmother’s favorite fur coat, you won’t want to wear it any longer. This doesn’t mean you can’t make good use of it, though. Some furriers specialize in restyling fur coats, including turning them into a fur jacket and other accessories.
A full-length fur coat is very formal. It looks nice when you are going to a fancy party during the colder months. However, it isn’t very versatile. Therefore, if you find yourself in possession of a fur coat that needs restyling, you may wish to consider transforming it into a shorter jacket instead. When the furrier transforms this full-length coat into a shorter jacket, there will be plenty of fur left over.
This is where a good furrier will be able to work his magic. The extra fur left over from cutting fur coats into fur jackets can be used to
create other things. For instance, when you are out on the town, you will need to carry a bag with you. While you can choose any bag that complements your jacket, why not buy one that matches completely. The extra fur from your fur coat can be transformed into a fur bag that will match your jacket precisely.
The fur from the coat will be used to create a bag that will match the new jacket exactly. However, there may still be even more fur left over that can be used as well. In fact, if the coat was quite long and the jacket much shorter, you may also have enough fur to create a scarf, hat, gloves or a shawl. If you do this, you will have an entire set of outerwear that will match and give you a more sophisticated look.
Restyling fur coats can provide you with more than just a new look for an old fur coat. If you change your fur coat into a fur jacket, you can use the extra fur that is removed from the coat to create any number of other accessories. Making a bag to carry while you wear your coat is one of the best options. However, if you remove enough fur, you may be able to create other outerwear accessories for a more uniform look.
