The caring of fur has it’s moments. Remember fur is natural and within time there can be some repair issues. Since fur naturally decomposes. Over time you will have rip, a tear or some dried pelts. The majority of the time, this can be repaired. New fur can be added to replace any fur that has been deteriorating over many years of wear.

Real fur is an organic material. « Faux fur » (fake fur) and most synthetics are made from petrochemicals. Like other plastics, these materials do not break down easily and will remain in landfills for centuries. The “dressing” process (tanning) helps to preserve the pelts for some time. After many years of use, they will eventually dry out and begin to deteriorate (i.e., biodegrade), returning to nature. Old fur apparel can even be composted for your garden!
The fur is a natural, organic material, and like all such materials will quickly disintegrate and biodegrade unless preventive measures are taken. To prolong the life of fur garments, pelts first undergo a unique tanning process known as “dressing”. This process protects the hair follicles and the fur while preserving the skin, making it less likely to disintegrate and, therefore, more durable.
However, even this tanning process cannot prevent deterioration entirely, and the fur pelts will, in time, dry out and become brittle. But when the garment is properly cared for, this could take several decades.
Eventually, however, fur pelts will biodegrade just like any other organic material, and can even be turned into compost for your garden. To demonstrate this, and also to compare the rate of degradation with that of fake fur made from petroleum, Truth About Fur conducted the Great Fur Burial experiment. The results were precise. After one year, the real fur had almost entirely biodegraded, while the fake fur remained intact.
