Fur Storage & Maintenance
Professional Advice
Store Your Furs
Store your fur coats with a reputable furrier with a fur storage facility on the premises. If you store your furs at home, keep them in your darkest, coldest closet, away from heat ducts or hot or cold water pipes. Heat and humidity will dry out the natural oils in your fur.
Keep Them Clean
Keep your furs looking fluffy and lustrous! Have your coat cleaned and conditioned by a professional furrier. Professional fur cleaning removes dirt, oils, and make-up. Cleaning and conditioning keeps the hide soft and supple, prolonging the life of your favorite fur garments.
Repair Rips & Tears
After a season of use, examine your furs for tears in the lining and hide, any new bald spots, and for damaged closures. Only a professional furrier knows how to properly repair a tear in fur garments without causing additional damage. Do not rely on a regular tailor for fur coat repairs.
Restyle in Summer
If you are interested in modernizing your furs, discuss a restyle/remodel with your furrier! Be sure to begin planning your restyle during the winter/spring months. This will ensure that the work can be done during the summer and come winter, you'll have a stylish fur garment to wear!
The Artisan Furrier
David Appel.
David Appel is a dynamic third generation artisan furrier and designer with over 35 years of experience in the fur industry. He mastered his craft while apprenticing at his father’s fur shop and in some of the finest fur workrooms in Europe and the USA.
David Appel Furs was established in Beverly Hills in 1986, and has served the greater Los Angeles area for over 35 years. David appreciates the challenge of creating new and unique fur garments. He insists that fur coats designed and created in his fur shop will only be made with top quality pelts, superior craftsmanship, and beautiful designs.
David believes that furs should be crafted with the utmost top quality materials. Inferior design, poor skin quality, and substandard craftsmanship cheapens the garment, reducing its longevity. It is important that you buy quality furs that suit your lifestyle and can be worn for many years to come.

The Importance of Cold Storage
Storing your furs professionally with a furrier in a cold storage vault is paramount for preserving their quality and ensuring their longevity. Furs are delicate garments made from the pelts of animals, and their natural fibers require special care to maintain their luxurious appearance and texture over time. Here's why entrusting your furs to a professional furrier like David Appel Furs with cold storage facilities is crucial:
1. Preservation of Natural Oils: Furs contain natural oils that keep them soft, supple, and lustrous. However, exposure to heat and humidity can cause these oils to evaporate, leading to dryness, brittleness, and shedding. Cold storage maintains a stable environment with low humidity, preventing the loss of natural oils and preserving the softness and sheen of the fur.
2. Protection from Moths and Pests: Furs are susceptible to damage from moths, insects, and rodents that are attracted to natural fibers. Cold storage vaults are environments that are unfriendly and uncomfortable to pests and living creatures, providing a secure refuge for your valuable garments. Save your furs from moths without the unpleasant moth ball odor.
3. Prevention of Mold and Mildew: High humidity levels can promote the growth of mold and mildew, which can irreversibly damage fur garments. Cold storage vaults maintain a controlled climate with low humidity, inhibiting the conditions necessary for mold and mildew formation. Proper air circulation within the vault also helps prevent stagnant air pockets where moisture can accumulate.
4. Protection from Heat and Sunlight: Exposure to heat and sunlight can cause furs to fade, lose their color, and become brittle. The sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays damage furs, and so do certain types of lighting. Cold storage vaults provide a cool, dark environment that shields furs from these harmful elements, preserving their vibrant hues and ensuring that they remain soft and supple for years to come.
5. Professional Inspection and Maintenance: When you store your furs with a reputable furrier like David Appel Furs, they offer services such as inspection, cleaning, and conditioning before placing the garments in storage. This ensures that any dirt, dust, makeup, moisturizers/oils, perfumes or pollutants accumulated on the fur are removed, and the garment is in optimal condition for storage. Additionally, furriers may periodically inspect stored furs for signs of damage or deterioration, allowing them to address any issues promptly.
6. Security and Peace of Mind: Professional fur storage facilities not only provide a secure environment for your valuable garments but also offer peace of mind through stringent security measures. With controlled access and surveillance, these facilities ensure that your furs are protected from theft and unauthorized handling. By entrusting your furs to a reputable furrier like David Appel Furs, you can rest assured that your prized possessions are in safe hands.
Remember - storing your furs professionally with a furrier in a cold storage vault is essential for preserving their beauty, quality, and value. By entrusting your furs to experts who understand the intricacies of fur care and maintenance, you can enjoy your luxurious garments for generations to come.
