Malibu Fur Storage and Care
Malibu has long been a destination for the rich and famous to settle down and escape from their busy lives. And with this kind of wealth comes a love for many luxuries, including fur coats and fur accessories. Whether it be a shearling coat, mink coat, fur winter coats, or a chinchilla vest, Malibu’s hot summers, salty ocean air, and excessive heat use during the cold winters bring a lot of issues regarding proper fur storage for any type of fur coat.
Fur storage:
Whether a fur coat from your favorite furrier, or an inherited fur, furs must be stored in the proper environment. Fur storage requires cold, dark spaces with proper humidity control. Too much heat and humidity will dry out the natural oils in your fur. This can cause cracking and fur loss, shortening the life of the fur coat or fur accessory. These sort of conditions are certainly hard to come by in Malibu!
On top of the above fur storage guidelines, you need to be mindful of the chosen storage area. It must far away from any heat ducts and cold/hot water pipes.
