chemicals. Yearly cleaning and cold storage will help your fur garments and fur handbags retain their beauty and last as long

as possible.

Wet Fur

Remember to place the handbag in a dry place away from any direct heat source, until dry.

The best way to handle a wet fur handbag is to give it a good shake, or wipe it off with an absorbent towel.

If your fur becomes soaked through the leather, to the point that it feels waterlogged like a sponge, seal it in a plastic bag to prevent it from drying and immediately take it to a qualified furrier.

Chemicals

Regardless of the color of the fur the natural oils it contains makes it highly resistant to stains, but the only way to ensure that it stays clean is to keep it away from substances that may cause a stain.

When storing your fur handbag keep it away from insecticides, moth proofing products, and cedar chips.

When using your fur each day be sure to never apply chemicals directly to it, including perfume, hairspray and makeup.

HeatKeep in mind that fur does not respond well to heat or long term UV exposure.

Lack of moisture and abnormal heat zap the natural oils it contains which causes the leather to dry out essentially causing dry-rot.

Long term ultraviolet light, such as sunlight and light from incandescent and fluorescent bulbs will cause oxidization over time; this is why it is necessary to store fur in a cool, dark location.

Professional Storage

Do not store your fur handbag or coat in a cedar closet or refrigerator at home.

For most people, it is best to send your fur to a professional furrier for cold storage. Yearly cold storage can almost double the longevity of your fur.

Professional storage will provide an increased level of security for your fur handbag because it will reduce the risk of theft and damage from fire, moths, and vermin, as compared to storing it at home.

Professional Cleaning

Cleaning your fur once a year (in addition to cold storage) even if you don’t use it, is the best way to maintain the life and beauty of your fur.

Glazing is part of the cleaning process and restores the shine, and beauty of your fur clothing and accessories.

Maintaining your fur is easy once you know the important tips that include avoiding heat and chemicals as well as the importance of having a professional regularly clean and condition your fur.
