Dimitrios Designer Furs

By chance I was walking by this place yesterday… I was very glad that I stopped in. Last week I had purchased a nice, but rather ordinary black, down bomber jacket at Nordstrom that had a ‘faux’ fur collar. It struck me as I saw all these NYers walking around with a similar jacket (I’m from LA), that mine would be more striking with a ‘real’ fur collar.
I start talking with Peter (the owner) and told him what I wanted. While listening to me, I could tell he was ten steps ahead of me as he’d done this many times before. He showed me a few fur choices and then I decided upon a piece of black fox fur that he had somewhere in the back of his rather large store. We unzipped and unsnapped my cheap ‘fun fur’ collar and then I left it with him. He called me today… less than 24 hours later… and told me it was ready for pickup. He knew that I was leaving tomorrow for LA and did a ‘rush’ job as a favor. Of course I would have been fine with him mailing to me… but this way I got to use it while on this trip (and it was cold). When I picked it up, I was amazed… it was beyond perfect, just what I wanted and more. It was a bit bigger, fuller, more substantial that I had anticipated. The revamped collar gave my mundane jacket an upscale look along with a nice new ‘wow’ factor.
I would highly recommend this place. The staff (including his lovely wife June at the front desk) were beyond friendly and helpful. I didn’t inquire much about what else they did, but it looks like they do all sorts of cleaning, repairs, sell new coats, hats, etc… anything related to fur. I realize that fur is not everyone’s ‘cup of tea’…and I respect that… but if you do want a great fur experience, please go see Peter at Dimitrios Furs… on 30^th near 7^th Avenue.
