That vintage fur in the back of your closet isn't just a coat - it's a memory. Whether it's an heirloom from your grandmother or a piece you've cherished for decades, many older furs feature exceptional craftsmanship but silhouettes that feel a bit 'stuck in the past.'
At Henig Furs, we believe luxury should be wearable. If you find yourself avoiding your fur because of heavy shoulders or an outdated length, it's time to consider a ReStyle. here is how we can help transform your vintage treasures into modern masterpieces.
Why ReStyle Your Fur?
Furs are remarkably resilient. Unlike most fabrics, high-quality pelts can be taken apart, cleaned & conditioned, and reconstructed into entirely new designs.
- Sustainable Luxury: Upcycling your existing fur is one of the most eco-friendly ways to enjoy luxury fashion.
- Personal Style: Transition from a formal 'church coat' to a chic, everyday style that fits your current lifestyle.
- Preserve the Legacy: Keep the sentimental value of an heirloom while making it functional for the 21st century.
Popular Transformation Ideas
The possibilities are nearly endless, but here are some of our clients' favorite ways to restyle their furs:
| Old Silhouette | New Modern Look |
| Full-Length Coat | Convert it into a trendy mid-length stroller or a waist-length jacket for easier daily wear. |
| Outdated Sleeves | Remove the sleeves entirely to create a stunning fur vest that layers perfectly over sweaters or other classic looks. |
| Heavy Lining | Add an all-weather lining to make the garment reversible—fur on one side, rain-resistant taffeta lining on the other. |
| Leftover Fur | Use fur remnants to create accessories like headbands, scarves, or even a fur purse. |
| Beyond Fashion | Transform a fur coat into home decor, such as a plush throw blanket or decorative pillows. |
The Henig Furs Process
We’ve been perfecting the art of furriery for five generations. Our master furriers handle every restyle with meticulous care:
-
Consultation: Bring your fur to any of our locations, or events, or use our online Ship & Store service. We’ll evaluate the condition of the pelts and discuss your vision, providing you with a quote.
-
Structural Assessment: We check for suppleness and "life" in the skin. If the fur is in good condition, we can begin the redesign.
-
Cleaning & Conditioning: Every restyle includes professional cleaning & conditioning to replenish the natural oils and luster of the fur.
-
The Makeover: Our master furriers will carefully restyle your fur. We can remove bulk from the shoulders, or completely change the pattern, transforming your fur into a completely new style.
