Remodeling / Restyling
There might come a time when you would like to update or change the fashion of your fur garment. Or maybe you inherited a fur garment that does not fit or is the wrong style for you.
One of the benefits of owning a natural product like fur is that we are able to re-cut and re-sew the fur into a different style of your choosing. We also might be able to change the texture using modern techniques such as shearing and grooving. If the condition warrants it, we also might be able to dye your fur into a different color. There is also the possibility that combining various techniques would give you the best alternative.
The next chapter of your fur garment's life could be the best one yet. If you are not enjoying your fur in it's current style, then considering remodeling it might be right for you. We suggest that you contact us to discuss further and make your appointment to explore all your options and possibilities. It is one of the great and exclusive advantages of owning a fur.

Repairs / Alterations
Maintaining your fur is the best thing you could do to ensure that it will last as long as it should. If you notice an opening on the fur or even the lining, you should address it immediately to avoid it getting worse and thus potentially becoming costlier to fix. There are many seams on the leather side of your fur (hundreds, maybe thousands) that are made to construct your garment. With normal wear, a seam may open and require re-stitching to close it back up. We recommend you only take it to a professional furrier who has the proper fur machines to stitch back correctly.
It is also a good idea to update dated looking styles by altering your fur garment. This might include softening the shoulders, raising the armholes, tapering the sleeves, tightening the neckline, or maybe adding some fit to for a tighter waistline. Keeping your fur updated will allow you to also enjoy it more without necessarily showing its age.
Cleaning
Cleaning and glazing is as necessary and important as summer storage to maintain your fur's original brilliance and luster. It also helps keep your fur's leather soft and supple allowing for longer wear. Yearly cleaning is recommended to remove dust, dirt, oils, and other soiling substances that can accumulate on your furs even without wear.
Please note that the fur cleaning process is very different from the dry cleaning process used on your clothes. Dry cleaning uses chemicals that can dry out fur and make the leather brittle. When Sekas International cleans your fur we use a method that has been specifically designed to clean furs. First, the process removes the dirt and excess oils. Next, your fur is glazed to bring out the natural sheen and luster. This process preserves the elegance of your treasured fur providing maximum durability.
Storage
One of the most important aspects of fur care includes professional storage. During the summer months, you must keep your fur free from heat damage to the leather. Cold fur storage keeps your fur's leather from drying out prematurely.
The climate controlled vaults used at The Fur Salon protect your fur investment from heat, mildew, insect damage, and theft. Temperature and moisture levels are controlled to preserve the leather and its fur.
From the moment your fur enters The Fur Salon until you take it back home, you can be assured our fur professionals will treat it with the utmost care and respect.
