FUR CARE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL CARE • Avoid crushing or folding fur garments. Always hang on wide, padded hangers to preserve structure and shape.
• Keep fur away from direct heat sources such as radiators or fireplaces, and avoid prolonged sun exposure to prevent drying and fading.
• Do not sit for extended periods while wearing heavy fur pieces. Remove the garment to prevent flattening and stress on seams.
• Avoid direct contact with perfumes, hairsprays, and body oils. Apply all scented products first and allow them to fully dry before wearing fur.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE (THE COLLECTIVE PROVIDES CLEANING SERVICES )• Never machine wash, dry clean, or bleach fur. These processes can permanently damage pelts, dyes, and leather skins.
• For light surface dust, gently shake the garment outdoors and use a soft-bristle brush or fingertips to lift debris, brushing in the direction of the hair.
• For stains or noticeable soiling, consult a professional furrier or fur-cleaning specialist. Always request fur-specific cleaning, as standard dry cleaners may cause damage.
• Professional cleaning is recommended every 12–24 months, depending on wear and environmental conditions.
STORAGE• Store fur in a cool, well-ventilated space away from heat and humidity.
• Use a breathable garment bag made of cotton or linen. Avoid plastic, which traps moisture and can dry out the leather.
• In warm or humid climates, professional cold storage during off-seasons is strongly recommended to maintain natural oils and shape.
• Allow fur to air out after each wear before returning it to storage to release any moisture from body heat.
Humidity & Temperature
• Ideal storage conditions include cool temperatures with moderate humidity (approximately 45–55%) to keep pelts supple.
• Avoid overly dry environments, which may cause cracking, and excessive humidity, which can lead to mold or mildew.
