***OK, the thing about furs, some people like it and some don't.
I do not wear fur, and originally I wasn't going to sell fur on my site. But I saw so much of it when I was buying stock,
still in great condition, and usable, it seemed sad for it to go to waste. So I decided to carry
vintage fur on my website. I thought that I could suggest that if my customers liked fur,
they should at least wear vintage fur and not buy new fur. Vintage fur is already out there
in circulation and it should be put to use and not wasted. So don't buy new furs, buy vintage,
and please don't complain to me about it either way. If you like fur that's fine, if you don't like fur that's fine too, just don't
judge me personally because I sell fur on my website. I don't wear fur, I don't even wear leather coats, and
I also do not buy new leather purses or leather shoes. But other people like fur, and I cannot stop them from wearing it, and
I am not going to go around complaining about other people wearing fur, I have my own
problems to deal with. I just live my life with my own decision not to wear fur or new leather.
Vintage items are not returnable Please be sure of your purchase.
