Millard's Fur Service

I was delightfully surprised when I walked into real working shop with my coat, not the snooty store I expected. Dee, the owner, told me all about the coat I had been given and told me she could get the musty smell out of it (she did) and that she could restyle it to update the look. While I was there I checked out the consignment racks of well priced and unusual pieces. She said she could create something wonderful out of any of them. If you are looking for a slick glamorous shop, this isn't it. But if you want good competent service, this is the right place.

The shop is a gem, left over from older times. It is one of two fur shops in what use to be over a dozen in the San Diego area. Currently, it houses exotic furs such as zebras, Norwegian blue fox, minks, and Sable. Dee dee is a true student of her art and work. On one of the manicans hung a dark lamb's wool cape. "I've been studying this one for a few months now to find the right spots to cut and restyle it," Dee dee told me. "I think I'm ready now." Dee dee services women who remember the 50s era when you never went out on the town without your fur boa, to present day actresses and dancers, to the local woman sporting the current fur trends.
