Local Institution Closes Its Doors After 130 Years of Service
The closure of Dittrich Furs, a Detroit institution for over 13 decades, marks the end of an era for the city's fashion scene. The iconic furrier, one of the oldest privately held businesses in Detroit, has announced its retirement and closure after five generations of family ownership.
Since its founding in 1893, Dittrich Furs has been a staple in Detroit's fashion world, providing high-quality furs and natural materials to customers. The company has been led by the same family for an impressive 132 years, earning it a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship, personalized service, and unparalleled expertise.
In a heartfelt announcement on its website and social media channels, the Dittrich family expressed their gratitude to loyal customers and thanked them for their support over the years. They cited the decision to retire as a result of "much reflection" and a focus on family health and well-being.
To celebrate its legacy, Dittrich Furs will be hosting a retirement liquidation sale, offering 70% off its entire inventory of over 3,000 fashions, valued at $9 million. The sale is an opportunity for customers to snag exceptional deals on high-quality furs and natural materials.
The Dittrich Furs store, located in Detroit's New Center area, will close its doors for the final time. As a symbol of the company's enduring legacy, it remains to be seen how this beloved institution will be remembered and honored by the community that has cherished it for so long.

Man, 130 years is just crazy! I remember going there with my grandma when I was a kid and she would always get the best furs for her coats. It's sad to see them go but I'm also kinda happy they're gonna make way for new shops in the area. 
dittrich furs was like an institution in detroit 
it's sad to see them close down, but at least they're going out with a bang 70% off everything is a great deal 
i wonder who's gonna come in and fill their shoes 
maybe some new generation of fashion designers? 
anyway, it's def a bummer for the community, detroit will miss them 
Dittrich Furs closing after 130 years is like a piece of Detroit's history being torn out 
what's going on in the world where family businesses just close up shop after that many years? 
anyway idk how they'll be remembered but i hope whoever buys the place is gonna keep the Dittrich name alive and all its awesomeness 
they were always so classy and elegant, and I loved how they only sold the best quality furs. it's crazy to think about the 5 generations of family owning this place... that's some serious dedication 
. i'm definitely hitting up their retirement liquidation sale ASAP 
gotta get my hands on those gorgeous furs at 70% off
