Fur
clothes are one of the most comfortable garments one can wear.
Yet for all their beauty and coziness, fur is one of the most
difficult materials to take good care of. With proper and constant
maintenance, however, fur can last for years.
As
fur is made from the pelt of animals, it should be treated similarly
to leather, as excessive exposure to the sun, heat, and moisture can
ruin the material. Humidity can also take its toll upon the delicate
garment, so owners should be extra careful when storing their furs.
Preferably, fur clothes need to be kept in a spot with as little
moisture, light, and warmth as possible in order to preserve its
quality.
Maintaining
fur isn’t limited to storage, as owners should also take good care
of their furs even as they wear them. Fur is vulnerable to abrasion,
so wearers should avoid sitting on them, as well as using accessories
such as bracelets, shoulder bags, or brooches, that could snag on the
linings of the fur. Fur is also sensitive to odors, and should be
kept away from perfume as much as possible. Additionally, fragrances
might have chemicals that can damage the material’s lining, so
wearers should be cautious when using scents together with their
furs.
