Spring Fur Care: Why Your Fur Needs Professional Cold Storage
As the seasons change and spring ushers in warmer days, it’s time to tuck away your winter wardrobe. But when it comes to real fur, proper storage is more than just a closet swap—it’s a critical step in preserving the beauty, structure and longevity of your investment.
Did you know your fur should be professionally stored in climate-controlled vaults every spring? Cold storage may sound like a luxury, but it’s an essential service for anyone who wants to maintain their fur, shearling or leather garments for years to come.
Why Cold Storage Matters
- Slows Down Biodegradation
Fur is a natural material, which means it’s subject to deterioration over time. High temperatures and humidity can accelerate this process. Cold storage slows molecular breakdown, preserving the integrity of the pelts and keeping your garments in pristine condition. - Prevents Evaporation of Natural Oils
The signature softness and luster of real fur come from its natural oils. Improper storage (such as in a warm attic or dry closet) causes those oils to evaporate, leaving fur dry, brittle and lifeless. Climate-controlled environments retain these oils, keeping your pieces soft and wearable. - Maintains Aesthetic Appeal
Fur needs to breathe. When exposed to heat or humidity, fur can lose its luster. Cold storage vaults are specially designed to maintain optimal humidity and temperature, allowing your garments to rest in the exact conditions they need to look beautiful next winter—and for many winters to come.
Store Smarter This Spring
Before you pack away your fur, find your local furrier. Many professionals offer secure, on-site cold storage for fur, shearling, and leather pieces. Climate-controlled vaults are built specifically to protect luxury garments from environmental damage. If you aren’t sure where to find your local furrier, take a look at our directory.
Let your furs rest in the care of experts so they’ll be ready to shine again when the cold returns. Because proper care isn’t optional—it’s what your luxury wardrobe deserves.
