Send them to me; I’ll wear them (it’s cold in Maine!!)

Same.

I'm seeing them all
Over the place these days. Vintage fur is definitely making a comeback.

When my grandmother died many years ago I was tasked with discarding her once beloved fur coats (she was 89 when she died and died over 2 decades ago so from a very different time).

I contacted our local high school's theater department and they seemed thrilled to have the donation. I did warn them that without "cold storage" during hot months that the coats may fall apart without proper storage but I figured the theater department could use them for as long as they lasted. The added bonus to getting them off my hands was the thought that some high school actors would possibly get to use them in their productions.

Enough already. Go stand naked on a street corner.

Barbaric. Throw them out.

I greet my husband in our foyer in them and a pair of heels when he comes home from a long trip.

I would make them into a big blanket.

Looney tunes are out in full force today.

I inherited a couple minks from the 1950s or so and would have worn them, but I guess they weren't stored property and they are torture. The individual hairs around the neck are broken off-- itchy and stabby and generally appropriate only for someone who's into penitence via mortification of the flesh.

I like the idea of making a stuffed animal out of them!

Bury it and say a prayer for the animals who suffered.

My friend did this. Her dogs sleep on her old fur coats.

Can you find out where she had this done?

Nope! I’m in the exact same boat. Not sure what to do with them and grateful for the post.

I’ve seen some chic vintage ones. They were all jackets or shorter coats. The big long minks wear the person and look like the coats they used to give away on Let’s Make a Deal. “Dicker and Dicker of Beverly Hills.” At any rate, if you don’t want them, donate to a thrift store. Someone might want them and many people know how to restyle or make into pillows, etc.
