Dear Consignors,
We have reached our fur capacity for consignments though still accepting fur donations. Thank you so much for your support. Please look forward to the furs sale this December 6-20.
Regards,
Franco
Starting on November 8th through November 20th, we will be welcoming consignments of a wide variety of real and faux pre-owned fur coats, jackets and accessories.
Over the last 9 years of conducting fur sales, we have found that supply greatly outweighs the demand. Lots and lots of people have furs. While we sell quite a few furs, we also have had to give so many back each year. In order to respect your time and the time of our staff, we are being super selective this year to maximize the appeal to our customers.
Fur is not as on trend as it used to be with faux furs and down coats etc. The resale value has come down quite a bit as well as well. Older styles just don't sell that well. Faux fur is one of the top trends this winter which has its impact on the real thing. Many of the luxury brands have banned using it.
Because we love and value our customers, we wish we could take everyone's fur! If you would like to donate your fur, we donate them to local charities to help keep people warm in the winter. It is a wonderful way to give to our less fortunate community. Donated furs can be dropped off at any time and you will receive a tax letter - in many cases worth more than what you would have received from your consigned fur.
Thank you for your understanding!
