Do you have an old vintage fur coat you don’t know what to do with? Instead of considering it a burden, consider yourself lucky! Even if you don’t plan on wearing the vintage fur coat, you have plenty of options to create a new look with it. Furs hold their value for decades if properly taken care of. You could choose to sell yours or repurpose it into something you’ll wear more often. Here are some of the options to consider with your vintage fur coat.
Receive A Fur Appraisal Before Restyling
The first thing you need to do with your vintage fur coat is get it appraised. The best way to do this is to take it to a professional furrier for an evaluation. Without doing so, you might not get the full value for it. If you plan on reselling it, the furrier can provide you with a certified appraisal value to make it easier to sell. But if you opt for fur coat restyling, then you still want to know what the original value is before proceeding. Your furrier might even be able to tell you if the value will increase or decrease based on your restyling ideas.
Turn Your Vintage Fur Coat Into A Vest
One of the most popular things to do with a vintage fur coat is to restyle it into a vest. People don’t wear a real fur coat year-round because it’s usually too hot in the summer. Or the fur coat is too formal for casual occasions. Restyling it into a vest can provide many more options for wearing it. Fur vests are elegant enough to be worn to formal occasions, but also casual enough for daily use at work or going to the mall. And since your entire body isn’t covered, it’s comfortable enough to be worn year-round in most situations.
Fur Coat Restyling Can Expand Your Options
Simply selling a vintage fur coat might make you some money, but you can make the most of it by restyling. A single fur coat can be worn as a vest or as real fur accessories to expand your wardrobe options. Think about your lifestyle today and what it might look like in the future. If you no longer feel like your vintage fur coat matches your lifestyle and personality, then fur coat restyling is a great option to consider. You can still keep elegance in your wardrobe without having to clean out your closet completely.
Transform A Fur Coat Into Accessories
People are often amazed at how many real fur accessories can be made out of a single vintage fur coat. Pillows, blankets, keychains, scarves, handbags, and much more can all be made from fur coats. There aren’t many things more comfortable than covering up with a real fur blanket. And if you have a vintage fur coat you don’t want anymore, then you can easily restyle it to create a cozy blanket to snuggle up with every night. Explore all of your options by asking your professional furrier what you can do with your vintage fur coat.
