Edwards-Lowell

Expert Fur Repairs and Restoration in Los Angeles

Your luxury furs deserve expert care — whether you’re addressing minor wear or restoring a cherished piece to its original beauty. At Edwards-Lowell, we’ve provided fur repair and restoration services in Los Angeles for over 75 years, trusted by collectors, stylists, and private clients alike.



From tiny seam openings to full panel replacements and complete restyling, our in-house artisans deliver precise, careful repairs that preserve the value, structure, and elegance of each garment.

Why Timely Repairs Are Critical

Fur is a delicate natural material. Even a small tear or loose seam can lead to significant damage if left untreated. Pelt separation, dry rot, and stretched closures are common results of wear — but they can often be prevented or minimized with early intervention.

Our team inspects and diagnoses:



• Small tears or seam openings
  
  
• Loose closures (hooks, eyes, rings)
  
  
• Worn cuffs, pockets, or hems
  
  
• Torn or detached linings
  
  
• Broken buttons or damaged zippers
  
  
• Dry or cracking pelts
  

These issues are often repairable with minimal alteration when addressed early. We strongly recommend having your garments inspected annually, particularly before or after cold storage.

Full Garment Remodeling and Restyling

Have a fur coat that feels outdated or unworn? We specialize in fur restyling and remodeling, offering creative solutions to refresh older pieces into modern silhouettes.

Restyling options include:



• Converting full-length coats into vests or jackets
  
  
• Shortening sleeves or body length
  
  
• Adding or removing hoods, cuffs, or belts
  
  
• Reversing to reveal inner linings or updated textures
  
  
• Creating accessories such as fur collars, cuffs, or handbags
  

We begin with a consultation and inspection, provide a custom quote, and walk you through design options tailored to your goals and the garment’s condition.

Handling Vintage and Heirloom Furs

Restoring older garments is a delicate process. Our team is highly experienced with:

• Fragile or dry pelts
  
  
• Discontinued fur types
  
  
• Replacing aged linings without disturbing original construction
  
  
• Preserving original designer labels or details
  

If a piece is no longer wearable, we can recommend repurposing options — including framing, trimming new coats, or creating accessories that preserve the garment’s sentimental value.
