I totally agree! People always ask me if I get any slack for wearing my vintage furs....I usually don't and if I do, I tell them that it's recycled and died a long time ago. Then i ask them if they are wearing leather shoes and
They usually are
I've been dying for a fur muff. One of my girlfirends told me that vintage ones shed like crazy. If this is the case, what can one do to prevent shedding? Any specific care instructions/advice?
Thanks!!
Lindsay, while it's true that some vintage furs shed, it is not the case with all of them. Furs will shed if they have not been stored properly and the skins are allowed to dry out. At Couture Allure, we always check our furs with a gentle tug in several spots before buying, and I won't buy a fur that does shed. BTW, there are a couple of fabulous fur muffs on our website right now!
