I’m a veg, and I don’t promote buying new furs, but once you have a fur coat that someone passed down to you it’s not like you can bring the animal back to life. If you have any sewers in your family, I’d suggest looking up teddy bear patterns. We have a fur teddy bear in our house that was made under the same situation. This way you can still have an heirloom that you can pass down to someone, and the fur doesn’t go to waste.

When i volunteered in east Russia, I gave my coat away 3 times. I am sure there is someone there, or even on the streets in the US, that would love a fur coat.

I would be very grateful if you could suggest some places in England to have my fur coats made into teddy bears. I have looked on the net but have had no joy. Could you help?

I had my grandmothers coat made into three beautiful teddy bears with her date of birth and death embroidered on the foot sole. on the other sole, i had them embroider: loved by her grand-daughter and then my name. I had one made for my sister and another made for my mother who was so happy because she remembered the feel of the coat when her mother was wearing it. Many sites online will do this.

I have seen people take the fur coats, turn them into beautiful teddy bears and use them in charity auctions for animal rights or other animal causes. It’s a great way to have that animal that died generate a lot of revenue to help the animals that are still alive!

Hi Sue:

I will have 3 fur coats left by my aunts and I want them to keep someone warm. Please let me know what the mechanics of mailing them to you are. I will probably have these in the next month.

Thanks

I have a fur coat that was left to me that I want to recycle if you would like it. I live in the Southwest of England.

I left a comment here in 2009 and since then have been given 5 separate coats and furs. They have been used to make new clothing for babies and blankets. All the projects are still running in Belarus and Russia and now in 2010 I shall go out first to St Petersburg and take warm clothing ( my son is living and working there now).

Then I shall be going down to Belarus – so if anyone has any coats they wish to be sure will be re used to keep people warm in the winter please do get in touch, be aware your coat / fur maybe cut down to make other clothing for several children thereby lessening the possibility of the fur being sold on ebay or elsewhere. They will keep the recipients warm.

You can deliver or send the items to either the Southwest, Lancashire or Fife in Scotland.

Regards JB

i have never heard such a bad contradiction of oppinions in my life . 1st i need to be clear on this i do not agree with killing animals for fun .however meny furs are preowend and i got one off ebay and it was close to 100 years old and in amazing condition it is incredable how well it lasts. the animals are dead and it is in my opinion a sin to burry or burn a fur when it can be restyled. not preaching but god gave us the animals to use no man made fiber lasts 100yrs of washing and wearing and still has years left .and it dosnt polute our earth. so if i want to make teddys for my childern instead of buying one that has probley been made in a sweat shop i will. and if i can make a bodywarmer and matching hair bobble for my daughter i will and enjoy knowing that i used 100% recycled and reshaped fur that lookes amazing.so if anyone can sell me a light colord mink in fair condition please reply to me as i am a recently single mother of 6 with no skills apart from sewing and am tryin to start a busness reshaping fur into teddys and redesignin coats i can pay p&p and resonable amount for fur . mizterry@live.co.uk

Hi,
I live in Northampton and have a fur coat that used to belong to my Nan.
I really like the idea of re-cycling it and donating it to an animal charity. Anyone got any contacts please?

oh dear!!! If you are “thinking green” kittykat, what do you think the “green” consequences are of producing all those manmade fibres? Are they biodegradable? Its swings and roundabouts, there is no way we can be 100% eco-friendly. Even if we walk around naked and eat shoots and leaves, we might still tread on an ant!!! But its ok, I suppose we could always give it th “burial it deserves”.

Sell it on somewhere like eBay (it’s a great place).
I wear vintage furs and leathers. It’s a great way not to support the current trade yet still make use of what’s already out there.

I have to find a home for my mother’s coat (people weren’t aware of the cruelty at the time that she bought it). She is still alive so I don’t feel free to bury or cut it up. I think perhaps to sell one that is in good condition and donate the money would be the best solution. Most people who wear them are pretty unpopular so I don’t think it encourages other people to wear them.
