This company came to my area a few months ago and after seeing it advertised in our local paper, I was curious. I have had a mink coat of my mother's hanging in a closet since her death 5 years ago and knew I would never wear it.
After talking to Blake, I was still a bit uncertain about the company or idea of spending so much money to re-make this coat. But I'm glad I went ahead since I can now enjoy the fur and it's more stylish and practical than before.
I had the fur sheared and made into a hip-length vest with zip on/off sleeves of leather. I also had bears made for each of my 2 grandsons who never knew their great-grandmother but I wanted them to have something of hers.
When the vest came, I loved it except that it was a little big at the shoulders which Blake agreed. He sent it back to the company and it was corrected. There was also a mix up with the number of bears I ordered (only one was made at first) but that was corrected, too, and I got everything 3 days before Christmas.
Thank you to this company for allowing me to utilize and feel good about a piece of my mom; I know she would be pleased with what I have done. read more
