There are hats, mittens, scarves and fur-trimmed capes but my new favorite thing at Dubarry Furs, is the luscious knitted fur scarf that you can see me wearing in the photo below.

Shopping in Old Montreal with snow dusting the Victorian buildings really gets you into the old-fashioned Christmas mood. Dubarry’s shop is in a beautiful exposed brick and stone atelier there.

The lovely husband and wife team are happy to help you in choosing ready-to-wear or custom-made jackets, hats and coats and especially the popular capes with fur trim. They also sell cashmere and Alpaca wear with and without fur trim and shearling jackets.  The family is able to maintain low prices by doing all the work themselves.

Don’t forget you can also bring in your old furs for an expert evaluation and to receive advice on the endless possibilities to revitalize the garments. They will gladly guide you when turning a older coat into something fashionable and wearable – they even have water resistant reversible ones. Trade-ins are accepted toward the purchase of a new coat.

Repairs, cleaning and storage are all available here. They have always been known for the quality of their products and their personalized service.
