Everyday Care Tips 1. Your fur coat should always be hang on a broad, sturdy padded hanger to keep the shoulders from loosing their shape. 2. If you get caught in a light rain or snow, simply shake it out and remove as much water as possible. Hang it to dry in a well-ventilated room. Do not use a hair dryer, or any direct heat on the fur. 3. Your coat should be cleaned every year by a professional fur cleaner – not a dry cleaner. Even if you don’t wear it often, animal fur gathers dust, oils and odors. 4. Avoid applying perfumes or other chemicals while wearing your fur. The hairs on a fur coat can be damaged very easily by harsh chemicals, such as hair spray. 5. Keep the coat out of direct sunlight. Direct sunlight can dry out a fur coat and cause it to begin shedding. To avoid this, store the coat in a cool, dark place where it is not exposed to light or heat. Shedding Initially you may find your garment loses some fur. This is natural with any garment made from real fur, especially for lighter coloured garments. After a few wears and following our steps, this will eventually stop. Our recommendations; initially shaking your jacket outside a few times to rid the loose fibres, place your fur garment into the freezer for a period of time which reduces the initial shedding. On your first few wears, when shedding can be more noticeable, we recommend wearing pieces that the fur is less likely to stick to such as silks and satins. The shedding of loose fibres happens during those first few wears so even wearing the garment around the house prior to wearing it out can help fasten the process. Regardless, after those first few wears the fur settles down and eventually stops.
