ATTENTION: There have been rumors that Dittrich Furs has been in talks with local furriers in regard to merchandise and/or services. This is NOT TRUE, we have spoken to NO ONE. Before we close on April 30th we will gather information to assess other furriers and fur service providers to give a recommendation to the public for cleaning, storage, repair and alteration services.

We will recommend service providers that offer services AS CLOSE TO DITTRICH STANDARDS AS POSSIBLE and whom we are confident will serve our former customers well!

Any recommendation we make will be based on our honest assessment. Our integrity and honest recommendations are NON-NEGOTIABLE and NOT FOR SALE.

We will announce our recommendations on our website, via email and on Facebook.

Dittrich Furs opened when telegraphs ruled. But when the furrier announced it will close April 30, customers took to social media to share stories.
