Q&A: Turn Used Fur into Warm Winter Coat at Dubarry Furs
Q: : I enjoy reading your shlog and was wondering if you would know where used furs could be made into fashionable outerwear. I had a mink sheared and then lined into a beautiful walking coat many years ago and am thinking about doing that again.
A: Dubarry Furs, a 34-year-old shop, in a beautiful exposed brick and stone atelier in Old Montreal, maintains low prices by doing all the work themselves. They will glad guide you when turning a older coat into something fashionable and wearable – they even have water resistant reversible ones. They have always been known for the quality of their products and their personalized service.
Ready-to-wear or custom-made jackets, hats, capes with fur trim, and coats, re–modeling, repairs, cleaning and storage are all available here.
There is a line of cashmere and Alpaca wear with and without fur trim and shearling jackets. Trade-ins are accepted toward the purchase of a new coat.
