Where to Buy Fur, How To Care For And Clean Fur

It is no doubt that fur coats and fur accessories have become extremely popular in the 21st century. Not long ago, fur coats were pretty rare and only worn by the people belonging to the higher socio-economic class. Back in those days, there were fur boutiques, and people would easily spend hours inside those boutiques deciding on a fur and having it customized according to their preferences. At that time people also talk about where to buy fur, how to care for and clean fur . But today, it is hard to find those dedicated boutiques now as you can find fur in branded stores and even the local stores.

 

Keeping all this in mind, it is quite natural to think that people who didn’t even want to buy furs must have at least tried them once in their life. And so, if you are one of them, and you want to try out fur for yourself as well, you must be wondering where to get natural fur from.

 

If that is the case, then you’re in luck! Because this blog will guide you thoroughly about where you can get fur from, how to take care of your fur clothing and clean it. Read on to find the answers to your questions!

Where to buy fur?

To get the answer to this question, you need to ask yourself a few questions first. Which fur is right for you? Which fur do you want to get? What should you be looking for?

 

What fur is right for you?

You need to consider the reason for buying a fur coat. Depending upon your reason for buying, you will need to see what fur best fits your needs. Let’s go through some examples:

 

  • Warmth: one of the reasons for getting a fur coat is to stay warm in harsh winters. If you live in a place where the weather remains cold most of the year, then your reason is warmth. Rather than looking for a fur coat that looks good, you will look for the one that gives you the perfect cover from the cold. Mink and Sable furs work great against the cold.

  • Durability: you want a fur coat that is good at keeping you warm and looks good, but it should last long? Then your priority is durability. Sheared Racoon or Mink fur coats are very durable and will work for you.

  • Appearance: if you just want a coat for the sake of wearing it to your fancy parties and amaze people, then your priority is appearance. Mink fur coats have the perfect elegant look to them, and they work perfectly for these sorts of occasions.

  • Cost: Fur coats may be common now, but that doesn’t mean that they are all affordable to everyone. Unlike celebrities, people have to look at their budgets when purchasing a fur coat. And if you are one of them and don’t wish to spend a hefty amount on a fur coat, then your priority is cost. Rabbit and Possum fur coats are a few of the cheapest ones you can find.

What comes next?

Now that you have decided on a reason for the fur coat, the next thing you need to do is ask around and check your options online. Checking the reviews for stores and their products and asking among your family and friends to see if they know a trusted furrier.

When you find someone, it is better to first visit them and talk to them about your options. However, if you do not have any option in mind, you can surely visit Marc Kaufman Furs to find the best fur accessories.

Seeing as they are an expert, so they will guide you on what will suit you the best. The next part is about how you should care for your fur. So, let’s see how to do that.

 

How to care for your fur?

Maintenance of your fur coats is not so hard once you know what you’re doing and how to do it. Here are some tips for caring for your fur coat.

  • Store your fur coat in a breathable cotton bag (commonly used for garments). This will prevent bugs from ruining your coat.
  • Do not put it in a plastic bag for any reason whatsoever. Long-term storage of fur coats in plastic bags causes the yellowing of the fur. Moreover, it traps mildew-causing moisture, which attracts bugs.
  • Your fur coat needs to be in a cold environment. Too much exposure to humidity ruins the coat. On especially hot days, put the coat in a cold atmosphere or even the fridge.
  • Try and keep your fur away from things such as hair sprays, perfumes, makeup, and especially food. Little particles of such things can get stuck to your fur coat and cause it to look worn out and old.
  • You should keep your fur coat away from direct light as it will cause discoloration. And this damage is irreversible.
  • Cedar closets are the worst place to store your fur coat. The oils in cedar wood pull out the moisture from the fur coat and will make the furs weaker.
  • Just because you have to keep your fur coat in a cold atmosphere doesn’t mean you have to freeze it. Your fur coat can be irreparably damaged if that happens.
  • Even if you are keeping your fur coat somewhere for a little while, keep it away from any heat source. Heat can cause your fur coat to be so damaged that the fur starts to rip out like tissue paper. And of course, after that, there is no saving the fur coat.

 

How to clean your fur?

If you have taken all the necessary precautionary measures to care for your coat, then there is no reason for you to repeatedly get your coat cleaned. However, you should get it cleaned once or twice a year. Moreover, if your furrier advises you to have it cleaned more times than that, then you should listen to them as they are the experts.

Here are some tips for cleaning your coat at home.

  • If your fur coat has a stain on it and you think you can wash it away, then keep in mind that you need to be very gentle. Firstly, you’ll need a special soap bar that is specially made for fur coats. Lather the soap with slightly cold water and rub it on the area.
  • Then, remove the soap and dirt on the coat with a cleaning cloth (make sure it’s lint-free). Don’t wet the cloth too much, but just enough that it is damp.
  • Steam the area that you have just cleaned. Don’t iron as it will burn the fur!
  • Spray a little bit of special wool or cashmere spray occasionally to keep bugs and moths away.
  • Brush your fur coat regularly with a special fur coat brush to clean any lint or hair that might stick to it.

Unconventional Fur Things (Ideas For Scrap)

Unconventional Fur Things (Ideas For Scrap)

You see a fur coat pretty much everywhere, but you don’t really see fur accessories. However, they always seem to be in our closet somehow. Sometimes, we get them ourselves, sometimes it’s gifted to us, and sometimes it just happens to be there, and you don’t know why and how. But whatever the reason is for some extra fur lying around, you can put it to good use. Here are some mini-project ideas for unconventional fur things    that you try for yourself.

 

Fur cuffs

 

Possibly the simplest thing to make with fur scraps is fur cuffs. They are small, look fancy and add a cute touch to your outfit. To make one, you just need to make sure the fur scrap is evenly sized and just enough to look good. A big chunk of scrap will look awkward on your wrist.

Here is how you make them – Start by marking the back of the scrap at two places, where you will cut it to make your fur cuff. Cut it with a razor blade so as the fur, itself, is not damaged. Get a lining cloth and cut it at the same measurement as the fur scrap. Afterwards, sew the corners of the lining cloth in on itself, so the edges are not rough.

Take a hair elastic band and cut it in half. Line the back of the fur scrap with the lining cloth and put the elastic band between them. However, be sure to put it in a way that the cut ends of the band are hiding beneath the lining cloth. Sew the items together, and now, you have a button loop to attach your fur cuff to any buttoned jacket.

Animal ears headband

 When Halloween rolls around, if there is one thing people like to buy, then it is the animal ear headbands. Adults and children both like to dress up as animals, and so, a must-have item for the costume is the adorable fur headbands. These are also fairly easy to make. Just take the scraps from your old fur coat and follow the instructions given.

Print out a template of an animal ear, preferably of a cat or fox. After that, take cardboard and trace the ear onto it and then cut it out. Put it against the back of the fur scrap and use a marker to mark the shape. To avoid damaging the fur, cut with a razor blade.

Pin down both of the pieces together and sew them. Leave the bottom corner open. Fold the cardboard ears and put the cardboard inside the furry ears. Lastly, you will shave the ears just enough that there is not too much hair on the ears anymore.

Then choose a side of these ears that will play as the inside of the ears. Take a pink fabric and cut it in the same shape of the ear except a little shorter. Glue the cloth to the fur, and they are ready to attach to a headband!

 

Small rug or drape

 

Fur rugs and drapes add the perfect look to your home, and they can be very cozy as well. You can make this if you have a slightly bigger piece of fur scrap, possibly one from a fur coat, to work with. You can turn it into a little drape as well for your side table or chest.

 

Trace a random pattern on the backside of the fur scrap and cut it out. To avoid damage to the fur, always use a razor blade. And then, you’re done. Just place it wherever you like.

Having said that, fur coats are never old, and they are always trendy. For example, look at the fur coat in the picture below. Do you think it will ever be un-trendy enough to throw away?

Fur slippers

You see these things everywhere and they’ve become very common in every household. You can also make these by yourself at home. Just follow the instructions.

Take your plain slippers and take a scrap of fur. Measure the upper strap of your slipper and cut out the scraps on that measurement. Paste the fur with the glue gun and that’s it! Now, you wear these slippers to parties or just casually at home.

 

Fur stool

We’ve all seen that cute little stool in movies that people use for sitting in front of their vanity. And the best part about that stool is that it has a seat of fur and gives the perfect soft touch to your room. Well, if you’ve wanted that seat, then this DIY is perfect for you!

 

Firstly, get your stool and cut out a piece of scrap fur that should be slightly bigger than the seat but not too big. It should be just enough that the fur hangs down from all the sides, at least about an inch. It doesn’t need to be perfect. Now, you have two options. You can either glue the fur to the seat and that will be it, or if you want to attach it temporarily only, you can get some safety pins and pin the fur to the seat on the sides. This way, you can take it off whenever you want.

 

After you’re done with either of these two, your stool is ready to use!

Pom Pom flats

It is possible that one of your older fur coats had some pom poms that you lost. So, if you have those little fur pom poms lying around, this would be a good way to use them. Just get your flats, a needle and a thread, and your two pom poms. Stitch the pom poms onto the top of the flats and be sure to pull the thread a little harder to ensure that the pom pom isn’t loose. And then you’re done!

 

Fur uggs

If you have an old pair of uggs and you are this close to throwing them away, then don’t. There is a way you can make them look good again and here, we’ll tell you how.

Get a pair of uggs, a scissor, measuring tape, fur scrap, and your sewing kit. First, measure the size of your uggs from top to bottom and then around. Cut the fur according to those sizes but just a little bigger. Sew the edges of the fur piece so that it is in the form of a tube now.

Put the fur onto your uggs and arrange it so the fur covers the top part of your uggs. Take a suede cording and wrap it around the fur so that it is crossing at the front and then tie it in a bow at the top. And there you have it! Some new winter boots!

 

Conclusion

Concluding, there is a lot you can do from the fur scraps of a unconventional fur coat, and these are only a few to mention. Moreover, there is no doubt things will get messy because we are using fur, but after you finish making whatever you wanted to, you won’t mind the mess. After all, everyone enjoys a little DIY every once in a while, right? And lately, fur fashion has been gaining quite the attention. It was said that fur retail sales for 2019 amounted to about 22 billion euros.

How to Redesign your Fox Leather Jacket?

As winter is winding down, the fur coats are going back into the closets or to storage. Whether it’s a fox fur leather jacket, mink fur vests, or lynx fur jackets, they share the same fate. But it’s not necessary that you can’t use your fur coat or fur jacket in other seasons besides winter. A popular fashion choice for all seasons is leather jackets.

As stated by Statista, in 2019, $101.45 million worth of fur clothing and accessories were imported by the US from the rest of the world. As fur gains popularity, there is a definite common choice for people, when choosing a leather jacket, is the real fox leather jacket and fox fur coat. And there are, obviously, legitimate reasons for how to redesign your fox leather jacket.

Benefits of Fox Leather Jacket

  • They are not heavy on your shoulders and are very breathable and light, making them comfortable to wear.
  • Eco-friendly and a renewable resource.

Why would you want to redesign your jacket?

Now, there could be multiple reasons you would want to redesign your jacket. Sometimes, the plain look of the jacket just isn’t doing it for you. And the leather jackets you see at stores with different colors and designs are not your style. With people becoming more and more creative, it’s not a surprise to see someone wearing a customized or redesigned jacket that is unique. And of course, it’s because it is their design.

Sometimes, the rates of redesigning may be too expensive for some people, especially after they have already purchased a pure leather jacket. After all, a leather jacket is an investment rather than a purchase. So, for this reason, many people have found alternate solutions that are to take the risk and design the jacket themselves.

How to customize or redesign your leather jacket?

So, here we have compiled some tips and tricks to redesign your fox fur coat or fox leather jacket and give it a new look altogether.

  • Painting it

The best and easiest way to customize your leather jacket is by painting it. What you paint on it is up to you, whether it’s flowers, some written text like a poem, patterns, or even just abstract. Surely, since you’ve painted this yourself, your jacket will be one of a kind. However, you can also take inspiration from someone and paint.

To paint the jacket, you’ll first need to decide what you want to draw and get your paints accordingly. Be sure to get good quality acrylic paints as you don’t want them ruining your coat. We highly recommend you to have a reference picture right next to you so that nothing goes wrong. And then start painting!

If you feel like you are not a good painter and don’t want to take the risk, then you should ask a friend or possibly someone else who is good at painting. And one more important thing you’ll have to keep in mind is the color of the jacket. Since your jacket is most probably black, the colors need to be brighter and bolder. This way, they won’t feel faded and will be properly seen.

  • Embroidery

This is another thing you can do to redesign your fox fur coat or fur jacket. You can go two ways about this. You can either write on the back of the jacket or you can just outline its sleeves and cuffs. The way to do both is pretty similar.

If you want to outline the sleeves and cuffs of the jacket, just glue the fabric on top of the places you want it to be and then stitch on top of it, so it sets. Another way to do this is by actually sewing through the jacket that is only recommended if you have done something like this before.

The same goes for if you want to write something on the back of the jacket. Take a paper and print or write the text you want to add to the jacket. Trace it to parchment or baking paper. Then place the paper face down onto the back of the jacket. Make sure it holds in place by pining it down carefully. Trace the writing on the back of the paper, so it transfers to the jacket.

Remove the paper and retrace anything that is missing on the jacket and then take a piece of rope with glue on one side and stick it over the text. Leave the jacket overnight, so the glue dries up, and then stitch over the rope to finalize the design.

  • Sewing a patch

This is another way to up your game. If you have a patch or purchased one especially, for this reason, all you’ll need to do is get your needle and thread and sew the patch on there. You can sew one big patch or ten tiny patches, it’s up to you. Your fur fox coat will look brand new!

  • Dye

Dye your jacket by dipping it in another color dye of your liking, and it will give a faded ombre effect to it. It will give your jacket a personal and unique touch. Keep in mind, the dye should be a special one and not just any you grab from the store. Research the options and get one that doesn’t ruin your leather coat.

  • Studs

Studded leather jackets look incredible on their own. And if you wanted one but couldn’t get it, then you can just try this. Get some studs (or a lot), a glue gun, and get to work. You can make a specific design or attach some at the corners and the edges to highlight them, or just go all out!

  • Cut it

If you are willing to take a risk, get your scissors and cut off the sleeves for a new leather vest look! Of course, you’ll have to be careful, and you’ll also have to close up the open edges. So, that’s why we recommend this to those that have an idea of what they are doing or at least have someone experienced enough by their side to guide them.

  • Add stripes

Adding two or three stripes to your jacket can make you look smarter. It is a simple way to look good and isn’t a very risky option either. Choose a contrasting color, like white against black, and add it around one sleeve or vertically to one side of the front of the jacket.

  • Add jeans

Another unique idea is to take your favorite pair of skinny patterned jeans, cut it up, and add it to the jacket. Take your jacket and cut the sleeves. From the skinny jeans, you will cut out a pair of sleeves and some extra portions for outlining, if you want. Stitch the new sleeves to the jacket and add the outlining and you’re done! Make sure to see how good your jeans will look against the jacket before cutting and attaching. No doubt, your fox fur coat will get a unique touch!

  • Make accessories

You can turn your fox fur coat into accessories for any occasion. You can make accessories out of your jackets like keychains, gloves, or purses. Although they are a little complicated to make than the ideas given above, so we recommend that you see an expert furrier for this.

Conclusion

As you have read above, there are many ideas and many designs for changing up your plain fox fur coat or leather jacket into a new one! The risk of ruining the jacket is still there, but for a practice run, you can get a second-hand or a thrift faux fur jacket to get a hands-on experience.

The Worst Fur Storage Blunders – And How to Avoid Them!

The Worst Fur Storage Blunders – And How to Avoid Them!

Now that you are moving closer to the hot summers, the time to keep your gorgeous fur coats in storage has arrived. Of course, you all wish we could keep on wearing these beautiful coats all year round; alas, that is not the case. However, when keeping it away for a few months, your fur coat needs proper storage if you want it to stay fresh the entire time it is inside.

If these real fur coats are maintained well, they can last for decades. Indeed, it is important to prevent it from getting damaged or committing mistakes that could take the fur’s shine away. Therefore, we have put together a list of the worst fur storage blunders that many make and how to avoid them!

Blunder #1 – Not taking fur coat to a professional furrier

Because it eventually becomes too warm to wear fur, your beloved fur coats need some extra loving when you are thinking of keeping it in storage. Many people do not realize it, but you must take the coat to a professional furrier who can store it at an ideal temperature to preserve the coat’s natural shine and look.

Furthermore, a professional furrier can clean the coat before putting it in storage for you. Undoubtedly, a furrier can clean the coat thoroughly and make sure it is dry and ready to be put in storage. Many people do not realize there are certain steps one must take to get the fur coat ready for storage. However, you can avoid this mistake by taking your cherished fur to a furrier to ensure it stays in optimal condition while it is stored.

You must always remember, moisture and fur do not go well together. In particular, the dampness can cause serious damage to your fur coat. Hence, taking the fur coat to a professional furrier who can ensure its longevity during storage is vital!

Certainly, fur is an investment, one that Marc Kaufman Furs’ Storage can help you keep alive.

Blunder #2 – You keep your fur in a bag

One of the most commonly made blunders is keeping your fur coats packed inside a bag. Fur is like the hair on your scalp. For instance, you allow your hair breathing room to stay hydrated and fresh. Similarly, fur needs its space, and breathability is an important factor when it needs to go into storage.

Allow your fur its own space. Especially when getting it ready for storage, make sure to keep plastic wraps and bags away from the coat. Because you want your fur garment to maintain its good condition, you must not keep it in a  bag. However, you must make sure it does not get smashed against other garments in the closet.

In addition to letting it breathe, ensure you do not fold the fur and keep it stacked on a shelf. Instead, you should maintain the fur coat on a hanger, separate from your other garments. Indeed, if you lack proper storage space for your coat at home, look into our professional fur storage to sustain the fur’s beauty.

Blunder #3 – You keep mothballs near your fur coat

In spite of what someone might have told you, storing your fur garment near mothballs and damp areas is never a good idea. Because fur absorbs moisture and odor very quickly, the smell becomes hard to get rid of. Furthermore, keep your fur away from areas with smoke as it can damage your coat and removing the smell of smoke can be quite difficult.

Blunder #4 – You store your fur coat in a cedar closet

It is a very widespread misconception. It is advised to never keep your fur garments in a cedar closet. Let’s talk a bit about the misunderstandings people have about cedar closets.

Firstly, cedar tends to be a good wood to store regular clothes as it keeps the bugs away from your clothes with its smell. However, the smell of cedar is so overpowering that it does not go away. Like we have mentioned above, fur absorbs odors quite easily. Therefore, cedar closets make for terrible storage places for your fur. In addition to the smell, they also tend to remove the moisture in the air, resulting in dry fur.

Blunder #5 – You don’t choose a cool, dark place

Furs maintain their optimum quality when stored in a cool, dark place. Because heat tends to dry the fur garments, storing your fur coat in a humid place can lead to bald patches and other damages on your coat.

Conclusion

Fur garments are a luxury investment. Nobody wants to damage an investment that can go on to live for many years. We are sure your fur coat holds a lot of financial and sentimental value for you. Although we have explained above how you can take care of your fur at home, we recommend choosing a professional furrier to store your fur coats for you.

Marc Kaufman Furs can fulfill all your fur storage needs. Besides storing fur for you, we clean it beforehand to ensure the fur stays healthy throughout the time it is in storage. Furthermore, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are now offering zero contact storage pick-up! So, you know we prioritize your health along with the furs!

Now that we have listed the worst fur storage blunders, we hope you know how to avoid making them! To sum it up, fur storage needs to be dealt with extra care.

There can be a lot of miss commitment when it comes to selling fur. People will try to pass off faux fur as real. However, identifying real fur can be fairly simple. Just by touching the fur, you can tell how smooth it is. The artificial manufacture of fur sometimes causes it to lose its smoothness. Also, the base of the fur can tell you if it’s real or not. You can check it by separating a few hairs. Real fur was previously attached to animal skin, so it has a leathery feel to it. The back of faux fur will have a texture similar to a textile.

Another way to test if the fur is real is to take a few hairs from it and burn it. You must observe the smell when you burn them. If it smells like burning plastic, then it’s a big no!

Furriers can sew the fur in both vertical and horizontal directions. here are a few mistakes to avoid when buying a real fur coat. Both will give a stylish touch to your outfit.

Lynx – This precious white cat fur is astonishingly beautiful. It will make you look adorable for sure. Wearing lynx fur is the best way to look attractive, and it’s ideal for telling the world how fashionable you are.

Sable – Sable fur has a unique kind of smoothness to it. Unlike other types, it feels smooth to touch in any direction. This high-quality fur is glamorous and will boost your appearance to the next level. It is ideal for you if you want heads to turn in your direction and mouths to speak of you.

Fox – Fox fur is also another prevalent type of fur found all over the world. It is a must-have for fashion freaks. Choose this type of fur for your wardrobe if you want the most natural-looking fur.

So, how to make sure the fur coat suits you? First of all, go for fur shopping in broad daylight. Before buying the coat, wear it and check how it looks on you by looking in a full mirror.

  1. Buying a Coat That is Made from Pieces of Fur

A fur coat can be made in two ways, from full skins or from pieces. Fur coats made from full skins are of higher quality than fur coats made of pieces. Coats made from full skins also cost more as it is made out of the fur from the back and belly of the animal. On the other hand, a pieced pelt fur coat is made from pieces of pelt from parts, like paws, and tails, sewn together. This stitching makes it asymmetrical because seams will be visible, and all the pieces may not be of the same shade. Hence, when you go to buy a real fur coat, try to get one that is made from a full skin.

For one thing, we cannot deny or argue about; fur coats are made from actual animal skins. Thus, just like the ones who cannot abide by the consumption of meat, milk, and similar products obtained from animals, it is evident that some people will abstain from the use of fur coats as well. Hence, we actively see the anti-fur community communicating the ugliest side of fur coats and accessories.

Nevertheless, whatever the anti-fur community says, furs are going away in the near future. According to the International Trade Center, fur exports from 2008 to 2013 almost doubled.

This blog will explore five different ways to wear a real fur coat this winter and feel good about it.

Going A Little Extra With Real Fur Coats

Weren’t we all under the impression that one can only wear real fur coats in winters? The latest news of celebrities says that Kim Kardashian, Lindsay Lohan, and many others have been wearing real fur coats during summers as well. These are the trends that make the world season-less. It’s not just the furs; you can see people wearing tank tops in December, leather boots in July, and whatnot. You can pile-in or pile-off a specific dress regardless of how sweaty or chilly the weather is.

What Do We Mean When We Say Furs?

When we say the word “furs,” we do not necessarily refer to real fur coats. You do not have to have it on your body when it comes to real furs. In light of the long fur history, it is evident that vintage fur coats have been passing from generation to generation, thus, giving the impression that real furs can be used as a form of clothing. Nevertheless, with technological advancements and innovation, you can find real fur accessories easily. You can have a bag, a cuff or collar made out of real furs, or even cushions and table mats. Alternatively, you can also use real furs to create cute gifts for your loved ones as well.

There is a whole lot of things that you can make using real furs, which you can extract from the vintage fur coat that your grandma gave you. On the other hand, you can get real fur coats of all types, styles, and sizes by visiting Marc Kaufman’s website. We provide the most outstanding real fur coats at extremely cost-effective prices.

The key in this look is to keep the rest of the outfit simple and monotonous while using a vibrant and flashy fur coat. A way to feel good about it. You can get all the cool color real fur coats at Marc Kaufman. Wearing an all-black gym suit with a big handbag will give you the sporty base so that you can add a loud-colored (say vibrant blue) classy real fur coat to finish the look.
