Back to School Fur Styling & Fur Care by eBAY
Back to School means many things depending on the age group. For the Junior High girls transitioning to High School it means the beginning of the adolescent phase and an increase in responsibility and freedom. For the graduating High School girl transitioning to College, it marks the introduction to adulthood and independence. But each new phase also brings about a new sense of personal style driven by new social patterns and nuances.

We had a quick chat with Steven Cowit, of Henry Cowit, Inc. & Madison Avenue Furs, Ltd., who confirmed that teenagers and young adults are becoming an influential clientele for pre-owned fur redesigns.

He confirmed that in the past 5 to 7 years these youths are embracing fur, bringing in older full-length coats and having them restyled into sportier jackets made from the upper-body section while the remaining fur is used to create vests and scarves. Revamping an old coat is a wise investment as it gives the wearer a more relaxed use of the garment and doesn’t break the bank. It also allows the wearer to create a style that fits their lifestyle.
