With the summertime coming, I knew I needed to find a place to store my fur coat in Dallas. My coat was new, and I remembered there was a lot to do to make sure that the coat lasted. I knew that my fur coat needed to be kept in a climate-controlled environment, as well as properly cleaned and maintained if I wanted to keep on enjoying it. A fur coat is an investment, and I wanted to be certain that my coat would be cared for and be ready for the winter.
I called around the Dallas area where I live, to see where I could find the best service, a fair price and knowledgeable staff. There is no shortage of shops that claim to offer good service for storing a fur, that claim to have the best facilities and the best ways to care for your fur coat. After spending two days on the phone with every furrier in the DFW area, the choice was an easy one – Morris Kaye and Sons.
Morris Kaye and Sons is one of the area’s most established furriers, working since 1935. They know furs and are the most knowledgeable about what works best for your fur coat. When I asked them about storage, they had every answer. They knew the details about how best to store my coat, as well as the details about their own facility.
We also spoke about the importance of the care of my coat. The staff at Morris Kaye and Sons knew what to do. They spoke to me about the process of cleaning conditioning. I did not know, but the staff told me that the cleaning process restores oils that are essential to the longevity of your fur coat. They also offered to do this for me while my coat was being stored. How convenient!
They also explained the difference in keeping your fur at home versus in a storage facility. An air-conditioned room or a cool basement doesn’t offer sufficient protection from moth damage or the drying out of leather. If the leather dries out, it eventually cracks, resulting in excessive shedding of fur. In a storage facility, the air is kept at a temperature of 45 to 50 degrees and the humidity level of 50 percent.
Also, at Morris Kaye and Sons, you can be sure your fur will be okay. Their vault is insured against loss, so you can be comfortable leaving it in their hands. Phew! When they told me that, I felt a lot better.
After talking to countless furriers in the Dallas area, I was relieved to find the expertise of the staff at Morris Kaye and Sons. Not only did I find a place to store my fur for the summer, I found a new place to direct any and all of my questions about my fur coat. No one else in the Dallas area has the knowledge and skills to get my business when it comes to storing my fur coat.
