Trusted Furrier Partner · Off-Site Climate-Controlled Vault · Free Pickup & Return · Aspinwall, PA
Fur pelts are alive in a way most garments aren't. The leather side of every pelt contains natural oils that keep it soft, supple, and resistant to cracking. Heat and humidity — the exact conditions of an attic, a closet, or a basement through a Pittsburgh summer — pull those oils out over time.
Once those oils are gone, they don't come back. The leather dries out, the pelt becomes brittle, hair begins to shed, and a coat that should last decades starts to fail in a single season.
Cold storage solves this. A properly maintained fur vault holds your coat at the temperature and humidity it needs to keep those oils intact — slowing the clock on a garment that, cared for properly, can outlast the person who bought it.
Whether it's a coat that's been in your family for generations or one you bought last winter, the months it spends sitting unused are the months that matter most. That's where Wash comes in.
Your fur is stored in a state-of-the-art, climate-controlled fur vault operated by our trusted furrier partner — maintaining the temperature and humidity needed to preserve natural oils and prevent deterioration of the pelt.
Fur should be professionally cleaned at least once a year to remove dust, dirt, body oils, and makeup that build up over a season of wear — without stripping the natural oils that keep the pelt supple. Our furrier partner handles this with the specialized care fur requires.
After cleaning, glazing restores the natural sheen and softness of the fur, leaving it looking and feeling the way it did the day it was purchased.
Fur collars, cuffs, and trim on coats, jackets, and accessories should be hand cleaned annually — separate from the rest of the garment — to keep both the fur and the cloth or leather looking their best.
Leather, suede, and shearling garments are cleaned and conditioned by our furrier partner alongside fur services — the same specialized handling, for the same kinds of investment pieces.
From minor tear and seam repairs to relining, remodels, and monogramming, our furrier partner has the skill and experience to make sure your coat is in the right hands — no matter what it needs.
Just like every Wash service, fur storage starts with free pickup from your home, and free return delivery when the season changes — no special trip to a furrier required, anywhere across Pittsburgh and Western PA.
Bring your fur, leather, or shearling garment in, or schedule a free pickup, for a complimentary evaluation. We'll coordinate with our furrier partner on what cleaning, conditioning, or storage your specific piece needs.
Cold storage isn't a back room with the thermostat turned down. Our furrier partner operates a state-of-the-art, climate-controlled fur vault that maintains a consistent environment year-round — regardless of what's happening outside, whether that's a humid Pittsburgh August or a bitter January cold snap.
That consistency is what protects the pelt. Furs that go in clean, conditioned, and properly stored come out the way they went in — ready for the season ahead, not in need of repair from the season behind. We handle the pickup and the relationship; the vault does the rest.

Maybe it's a coat that's been passed down through your family for two or three generations — the kind of piece that carries history along with the fur. Or maybe it's something you bought yourself, an investment piece you want to actually last.
Either way, the question is the same: where does it go for the eight months a year you're not wearing it? A closet, a garment bag, and good intentions aren't a storage plan — they're how furs quietly deteriorate without anyone noticing until it's too late.
Wash connects your fur, shearling, or fur-trimmed garment with a real home for the off-season — cleaned, conditioned, and held in a proper cold storage vault by our trusted furrier partner until you need it again. When the weather turns, it comes back to you ready to wear, not in need of a rescue.
And because it's part of everything else Wash already does, it starts with the same free pickup and delivery you'd expect for a shirt or a suit — just for the piece in your closet that actually needs it most.

Fur pelts contain natural oils that keep them supple and lustrous. Heat and humidity break those oils down over time, drying out the leather side of the pelt and leading to cracking, shedding, and a dull, brittle appearance. Cold storage at controlled temperature and humidity slows this process and protects your investment between seasons.
