I've just had a customer offer me her grandmother's 50's vintage seal fur coat for free. She can't think of any reason to keep it.

From a creative standpoint, I want to take it in and find a use for it.

From an ethical standpoint, I'm a bit queasy.

From an ecological viewpoint, I can't stand to see it go to waste.

Any thoughts?

The badger you steered me toward a couple of months ago excited some small controversy when I posted pics of the finished product. Some thought it might be a protected UK "brock." That said, I have to agree with those who say go for it. One of the fur industry's big points these days is the fact that fur can be restyled or repurposed to fill a new need. I know it won't work in your case, but I made sure to save the furriers label from the stole and install it on the inside of the head on flap for my sporran.
