Repairing Fur?

[Rachael]

Does anyone know of a place in the Northwest (Oregon/Washington) that repairs fur?

I have a 30's-era mink wrap that I inherited, and there are some tears in the pelt. Other than that, it is in good shape; the lining is intact and I would like to be able to wear it from time to time.

Short of a reference, has anyone ever done this type of repair before? Two of the tears are at the seams between the pelts so I would think that is the easier repair. There is one tear that is across the grain. They are all small, less than 3 inches.

Not to bum you out but those pelts are probably played out. Given the absolute best of care mink lasts around 40-50 years. Miss just one Summer storage...........
