We are now fully aware that natural resources are exhaustible, and that’s why we attach great importance to recycling. Fur has a long life and has a huge potential for remodeling.
The advantage of remodeling is to offer a second life to one’s coat, and at a lower cost than buying a new fur.

- Is it necessary to store your fur? Yes. A fur can last up to fifty years (depending on the kind of fur) if stored. In storage vaults, the air quality, temperature and humidity are set to ideal conditions for the preservation of fur. If it is not stored, the skin will dry out over time and will consequently be impossible to recycle.Vaults on the spot, proven against fire and theft

- It is recommended to clean one’s fur once a year (depending on the frequency of use) and this, in order to restore its luster and flexibility, and to get rid of calcium stains and dirt accumulated during winter.
