“Younger people want something a little more fun or practical,” Mr. Sekas said, noting that the restyling department at Sekas International has been kept busy this year with younger clients cleaning out their closets and having grandma’s old coat turned into throw pillows and blankets. Recently a client turned her aunt’s coat into six teddy bears for her nieces....

In surveys of early clientele, he has found that people hold on to the fur coats they’ve inherited from family members, and though they rarely or never wear them, they’re conflicted about throwing them away. In part that’s because of sentimental value and in part, perhaps, because they belonged to a living creature.

The point being that, while the mink coat as a fashion staple may be over, mink itself is a different story....

People are wearing fur,” said Ms. Coffey, the wholesale fur buyer for Julian Gold. “You just don’t see it.” The fur salon, she said, does a swift business in reversible coats, with sheared mink on one side and taffeta on the other: a luxury product fit for the age of Instagram shaming."
