What to do if there are scuff marks on your fur coat from the bag?

fur coat restoration A beautiful warm fur coat is every woman's dream. Noble fur shimmers beautifully in the sun, giving the owner’s image femininity, elegance and sophistication. However, if the item is worn for a long time, the fur may lose its beautiful appearance. If a girl often wears a bag or backpack, then the fur coat gets worn out in some places and creases appear. When a product loses its aesthetic appearance, you don’t want to wear it. But it’s a pity to throw away such an expensive and beautiful thing. How to fix the situation?

In what places is a fur coat rubbed from a backpack and bags?

When wearing a handbag or backpack, after a short period of time, scuffs or creases appear on the sleeves of the fur coat. This is due to the fact that the bag is put on the hand, and under its weight the fur rubs. It is also not uncommon to see scuffs or even stripes on the shoulders. If a girl wears a backpack, then the fur is pressed on her back. The side part of outerwear also suffers, since the bag is most often pressed against the side of the hip or waist for convenience.

Often, if the fur coat is long, scuffs and creases are visible on the back of the product. If you do not tuck the product when boarding a vehicle or on a bench, then over time the fur begins to fray and crumble. In such cases, only the hand of a specialist will help. If the fur cannot be restored to its previous appearance, then all that remains is to shorten the product.

Remember! So that the fur coat does not wear out due to accessories and handbags. They should only be carried in the hands, not hanging on the shoulder or forearm.

Is it possible to restore a fur coat yourself?

fur coatSmall defects can be removed at home. For example, if your sleeve is worn out, then you can comb the fur coat well, ventilate it and fluff up the fur. The product will acquire a neat appearance. If you regularly ventilate, comb and do not wet the fur, then the item will look neat without creases or scuffs.

If the abrasions are severe, they will need to be removed into internal shock. This is done as follows:

  1. We steam the lower part of the lining and the seams that secure the lining.
  2. The wiped area must be swept away and duplicated with cold contact tape.
  3. We cut off the damaged fur with a blade carefully so as not to touch other areas.
  4. We sew the edges of the product with an overcast stitch by hand.
  5. We turn the fur coat onto its face and sew an additional stitch along the seam.
  6. Sew the lining back.

It will be quite difficult for inexperienced seamstresses to do this, and there is a risk of damaging the product. Therefore, in case of severe damage to clothing, it is better to contact an experienced specialist. For a reasonable fee, the technician will quickly remove any defects and return things to their original appearance.

On a note: With proper storage of fur products, they do not lose their beautiful appearance for more than 10 years. It is recommended to monitor and care for your fur coat every season after wearing it.

To ensure that the product retains its beautiful appearance for a long time, air it regularly, hang it in a large closet, and do not wear a bag/backpack over your shoulder. If possible, when worn daily, the item should be combed regularly. It is especially worth paying attention to the places where the bag is worn and to the pockets, since this is where the fur most often suffers.

After reading the article, I personally only had one question - whether the author of the article saw a natural fur coat worn by a bag. It is suggested that you can easily and simply deal with the problem yourself. Just cut and sew. Funny. No, it's really very funny. You are in all seriousness proposing to cut a fur coat from one side by a whole size, and this is at best. Or simply sew (pull) the cut piece together. Then you’ll just end up with a very strange place, colloquially called Kurya Butt. Under no circumstances can you comb the fur that is pulled into the muzzle. And special equipment will not help here in any way. Before writing articles on such highly specialized topics, get to know the subject better. Is this some kind of stupidity?
