- Manufacturers' care recommendations for fur garments
The advice in this guide is based on general manufacturer recommendations and on reference literature about fur garments, and it is presented in general terms. If the care label on your garment gives its own instructions, they take priority over ours: whenever they differ, go by the label and by the opinion of a specialist who has seen the item in person.
