Detroit's Furry Legacy Comes to an End as Beloved Family Business Closes After 130+ Years

In a move that marks the end of an era, the fifth-generation owners of Dittrich Furs, Detroit's oldest privately held business and fashion icon, have announced their retirement and closure. The family-owned company, which has been in operation since 1893, will be holding a liquidation sale to clear out its extensive inventory of over 3,000 fashions valued at $9 million.

The Dittrich family expressed their gratitude for the loyalty and trust they've received from customers over the years, stating that serving this community has been their privilege. The company's commitment to providing high-quality fur and natural material fashion, along with exceptional craftsmanship and personalized service, has earned it a reputation as a beloved institution in Detroit.

As the company prepares to close its doors for good, Dittrich Furs is offering its entire inventory at 70% off, making it an unprecedented opportunity for customers to snag high-end fashions at unbeatable prices. However, with many items already selling out, shoppers are advised to act quickly to secure their favorite pieces.

The closure of Dittrich Furs marks the end of a remarkable era in Detroit's fashion scene, one that will be remembered fondly by generations who have benefited from the company's dedication and expertise. While the family's decision to retire is bittersweet, it's clear that their legacy will continue to be felt in the community for years to come.

Dittrich Furs store is located at 7373 Third Ave., in Detroit's New Center area. For those looking to pay tribute to this iconic institution, a retirement liquidation sale is underway now.

man, another small business bites the dust 🤑👋 it's all about the benjamins at the end of the day... 130+ years and they just couldn't keep up with the times i guess. who needs family and tradition when you gotta pay the bills? 😒 and now we're left with a bunch of overpriced furs that nobody wants 🤣 like, what's next? closing down all the old thrift stores too? 🛍️ it's just another example of how our consumer culture is gonna be the death of everything authentic

I don’t usually comment but I just had to say something about Dittrich Furs closing after 130+ years... it’s crazy to think that an era like that is coming to an end 🙅‍♂️. I mean, who wouldn’t miss a place that's been around for over a century? It’s not just the clothes they sold (which were insane btw), but the memories and stories people shared about shopping there... anyway, 70% off is pretty sweet tho 😂, hope everyone gets to snag some awesome deals!
