While there are plenty of ways to incorporate real fur throughout the summer, many people choose to store them until the winter. If you’re ready to take a break from wearing furs, then the first thing you need to consider is the ideal real fur storage environment. The last thing you want to happen is to pull your furs out for the winter only to find they have been damaged while in storage. When you follow this quick summer to-do list, you’ll protect your furs until it’s time to pull them out again for the fall and winter.
Examine Your Furs For Damage
When you’ve worn your fur for the last time this season, examine it closely for damage. Any rips or tears need to be addressed as soon as possible so they don’t get worse and potentially become irreparable. A small hole in your fur can become larger as the weight of the fur pulls down on it. When you take your furs to a professional furrier, they will likely ask you if there is any known damage to them before storing them. They should also examine it closely for any small particles that could be nestled inside the fur. After the professional examination, your fur can be safely stored for the summer.
Opt For Professional Fur Coat Cleaning
It’s ideal to have your furs cleaned periodically and especially before they go into real fur storage. Depending on the type and color of your fur, it might not be visibly dusty or dirty. The problem is small particles can get trapped in the fur and can rub against it to create bare spots. And furs aren’t easy to wash on your own. Opting for professional fur coat cleaning is ideal to give you peace of mind knowing your furs are cleaned safely. The specialized cleaning methods used by a professional furrier will clean your furs safely and help extend their lifespan as much as possible.
Provide The Perfect Fur Storage Environment
What does real fur storage mean to you? Too many people make the mistake of thinking their furs can be treated just like their regular jackets and be pushed to the back of their closets during the summer. It’s important to note that furs need to be treated differently to reduce the risk of them getting damaged. While it’s possible to create the perfect real fur storage environment in your home, it would likely be inconvenient to do so.
Instead, professional real fur storage is the way to go. When you take your furs to a professional, they will ensure they are cleaned and repaired appropriately before going into storage. Furs need to be stored at a precise temperature with plenty of breathing room, which is difficult to achieve in your home closet. Professional furriers have ideal real fur storage facilities to ensure your furs are kept in the perfect environment.
Consider Fur Restyling
Now is the perfect time to consider fur coat restyling if you don’t want to wear your fur coat in its current condition anymore. Your wardrobe style might have evolved over the years where you don’t like to wear a fur coat anymore. You can repurpose the coat into a stylish vest or various real fur accessories to meet your current style. It’s not a requirement to choose fur coat restyling during the summer, but many people consider doing it before putting their real fur coat into storage.
