Fur and Shearling Jacket Care in Qatar: Repair and Storage Between Winter Trips
5 min read
Fur and shearling coats are bought for trips to Europe, Central Asia and ski holidays — then stored in Qatar most of the year. Heat dries the pelts, which can crack and tear.
Before your trip
Check seams, linings and fastenings. Small tears grow under the weight of a heavy coat.
Repairs
Torn pelts, split seams and worn cuffs can be repaired by a specialist. Renova's fur jacket repair takes about a week.
Storage
- Wide padded hanger.
- Breathable cotton bag, never plastic.
- Air-conditioned room.
- Space so the fur isn't crushed.
