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.

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.
