Detroit's Fashion Icon Falls Silent: Dittrich Furs Closes After 130+ Years of Service
In a move that has left the city's fashion community reeling, Dittrich Furs, Detroit's oldest privately held business and a beloved institution for over a century, announced its retirement and closure on January 8. The family-owned fur and fashion retailer, which has been in operation since 1893, will hold a liquidation sale featuring over 3,000 styles valued at $9 million.
The fifth-generation owners of the company made the announcement via their website and social media channels, expressing their gratitude for the loyalty and trust they've received from customers over the years. In a heartfelt message, the Dittrich family shared their decision to retire and focus on the health and well-being of their family, acknowledging that this marks the end of an era.
For 132 years, Dittrich Furs has been synonymous with quality fur and natural material fashions, as well as exceptional craftsmanship and personalized service. The store, located in Detroit's New Center area, has served generations of customers, from local residents to fashion enthusiasts nationwide.
As the company prepares to close its doors, a retirement liquidation sale is underway, offering 70% off the entire inventory at unbeatable prices. Despite the closure, Dittrich Furs will always be remembered as an integral part of Detroit's history and a testament to the enduring legacy of family-owned businesses in the city.
While this marks the end of an era for Detroit's fashion community, it also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving local traditions and supporting small, family-run enterprises. As the Dittrich Furs story comes to a close, its impact on the city will be felt for years to come.

! 132 YEARS?!?! 
That's like, even longer than my favorite brand has been around 
! Dittrich Furs is like a part of history, you know? 
I mean, who needs the internet when you have a store that's been serving quality furs and natural materials since 1893?! 
I'm so gonna hit up that liquidation sale ASAP, I need to take some last-minute Dittrich Furs merch home with me! 
My heart is breaking for the fam who has to close this iconic store down 
But at the same time, I'm all about supporting family-owned businesses and keeping those traditions alive 
So, it's like, a bittersweet moment for me...I guess.
Just kidding, it's actually pretty impressive. But seriously, it's sad to see Dittrich Furs go. I've heard their coats are top-notch, and they always had a great selection. Maybe the city can try to preserve some of their legacy, like creating a museum or something? That way, future generations can still experience what made them so iconic. And hey, at least we know that 70% off is gonna be a wild sale
