Fur Care

To care for real fur, shake it gently after each wear, hang it on a broad padded hanger (or keep small pieces in a cotton bag), keep it away from heat, plastic and perfume, and leave cleaning to a fur specialist. That is genuinely most of it: real fur is far tougher than its reputation,…

Yes, real fur can shed, but only a little, and mostly in the first few wears. How much depends on the fur: long-haired rabbit sheds the most, fox may release a few loose hairs at first, and short, dense furs such as rex rabbit and mink shed very little.

Yes, you can wear real fur in the rain, as long as it is light rain or snow rather than a downpour. Fox fur handles it best, because its long guard hairs help water run off, while shorter, more delicate furs such as rabbit and mink are better kept in on a genuinely wet day.
