Are you ready to brave the chill this winter?  Fur coats help you relax in sub-zero temps, and they keep you stylish too. If you haven’t already updated an existing coat that may be stashed away in your closet, now’s the time to shake off the dust and follow some of these tips.

To give an older fur coat a facelift:

• Turn to a professional cleaner to shake off the dust and keep it smelling clean
• An expert repairer can also mend broken zips, buttons and other common issues on fur coats
• Shear older coats to get a contemporary look and review new fashion trends for neat ideas
• Finally, trade in your old coat for a new one – the easiest and smartest way to get an updated look.

While fur coats can be quite the investment, it only looks pricey and luxurious when it’s well-maintained. Because clean is always in style, it’s worth paying a professional for care.
