Fur Care
Storage Indoors
- Store in a cool, ventilated place, avoiding the use of plastic covers.
- Hang on a specially designed hanger with a wide shoulder and cover with a garment bag.
- Keep at least 6 centimeters of space between furs for them to breathe.
- If wet from rain, air dry in a cool, dry place or have it professionally treated.
- Avoid contaminating fur with other chemical products.
- In summer, be especially careful to protect from high temperatures, humidity, and insect damage.
Outdoor Protection
- Keep away from heat sources when wearing fur.
- Never place fur in direct sunlight or near hot water pipes or steam pipes.
- If sitting for a long time, take off the fur to avoid crushing it.
- Be mindful of items you carry that could damage fur, especially bags with metal chains that can wear down the fur.
Cleaning
A. For dust on the garment, gently tap to remove the dust. B. For stains, promptly take to a professional dry cleaner. Do not wash in water or machine wash, as this can cause fur to shed, damage the quality of the fur and skin board, and is irreversible.
