Fur Care & Storage

A fur does not feel comfortable in a crowded wardrobe!

In the summer, a fur can also become warm. Just like humans, fur can "sweat" in the summer, especially when stored in a crowded and warm wardrobe. High temperatures can cause the leather, in which the hair is rooted, to dry out. This can lead to hair loss. Therefore, it is important to ensure proper and cool storage of fur, especially during the warm months of the year. It is generally important to hang your fur on a wide hanger in a loose manner. Please make sure not to store your fur near heat sources such as stoves or radiators. To maintain a good climate for fur, it needs to be stored in a loose, cool environment with appropriate humidity. It is also recommended to use a dust cover. Often, your bedroom is the best place for fur storage. Additionally, the fur should not be exposed to direct sunlight during storage, as it can cause the hair color to fade. For fur storage, linen or muslin (old bed sheets work well) can be used. Plastic should never be used for fur storage, as it can negatively affect the fur by depriving it of air. Proper storage like this will contribute to the longevity of your fur's quality."
