CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Kiwi Possum- Premium fur products of Aotearoa.
Sourced locally in the deep southern regions of New Zealand, we take premium possum skins and make a select range of designer fur products.
You are now the proud owner of your very own possum product. Here are some care instructions to get the most from your new purchase.
• Do not expose to excessive natural or artificial light as this may cause fading in
time.
• Do not expose to excessive heat as a hot iron or blow dryer may cause your fur
to shrink.
• Do not immerse in water.
• Do not use bleach or put in a washing machine.
• Do not store in plastic but in a well ventilated, dry closet or wrap in cotton fabric
so that the garment "breathes."
• Shake regularly to restore the pile and to prevent dust from settling.
​
Should you wish to clean:
​
• Wring out a lukewarm wet cloth till it is barely damp.
• Squirt a drop of liquid mild detergent and massage into the cloth then gently wipe
over the fur. Do not apply moisture to the suede side at all if exposed.
• Rinse the cloth in cold water and wring hard again before applying to the possum
fur to wipe off any excess detergent. Dry naturally in shade.
• Shake or brush to fluff up.n I guess I would have to reword?
​
Do your part for the environment.
Possums are a pest to Aotearoa and detrimental to the environment.
They are a threat to our forests and native wild life.
They eat leaves, flowers, leaf buds, fruit ,eggs, birds, insects and snails.
​
So Possum fur is considered ethically sound.
Why Possum fur?
Possum fur is soft and warm and can be made into wonderful, enjoyable products.
Possum fur fibre has a hollow core and remarkably the only other animal with a hollow core fibre, is the mighty polar bear.
Possum fibre is therapy for your skin with an amazing, breathable dry fabric.
