Detroit's Legacy of Luxury Fur Fades Away as Iconic Dittrich Furs Closes After 132 Years
A city that has seen its fair share of triumphs and tribulations, Detroit has just lost a piece of its soul - the beloved Dittrich Furs. For over five generations, this family-owned business has been synonymous with luxury fur fashion, bringing joy and warmth to countless customers in Southeast Michigan.
In a poignant announcement on its website and social media channels, the fifth-generation owners revealed that they have decided to retire, marking the end of an era for this Detroit institution. The Dittrich Furs store, located at 7373 Third Ave., in the heart of New Center, will cease operations after a remarkable run of 132 years.
Founded in 1893, Dittrich Furs has been an integral part of the city's fabric, providing exquisite fashions and exceptional service to generations of Detroiters. The family's dedication to quality craftsmanship, care, and personal attention has earned the business a reputation as one of the city's oldest and most respected privately held businesses.
As the Dittrich Furs family prepares to close its doors, they are holding a retirement liquidation sale, offering an incredible 70% off its entire inventory of over 3,000 fashions, valued at more than $9 million. This is an opportunity for customers to score some amazing deals on high-quality fur fashion, with the best selection available during this limited-time offer.
The Dittrich Furs family would like to take this chance to express their heartfelt gratitude to the community that has supported them over the years. Serving Detroit and Southeast Michigan with pride, they acknowledge the loyalty and trust shown by customers, who have made Dittrich Furs an integral part of the city's history.
As this chapter comes to a close, the legacy of Dittrich Furs will live on in the hearts of those who have been touched by their business. The memories, traditions, and relationships forged over the years will be cherished forever, leaving behind a void that can never be filled.

It's like losing a piece of Detroit's history, you know? They've been around since 1893 and have built such a loyal customer base over the years. I remember going there with my mom as a kid and getting the best quality furs for our winter coats 
. The family-owned business really made it feel personal and special. It's not just about the fur, it's about the service and the people behind it 
. I'm definitely checking out their retirement liquidation sale to score some deals 
it's like losing a piece of detroit's history, you know? i remember going there as a kid with my mom, she'd buy this gorgeous fur coat and we'd walk around the city looking like millionaires for a day 
those family-owned businesses are so underrated, they're not just about making money, it's about preserving tradition and bringing people together. the fact that they're having a liquidation sale is gonna be crazy 
i hope some of these beautiful pieces find their way to new owners who'll appreciate 'em as much as we did
. I mean, what's next? Closing down old libraries or something? 
It's like, just because some people don't buy fur anymore, it doesn't mean the whole thing has to go. They should've diversified their business or something. Now it's just a bunch of old stuff collecting dust 
.
now it's just gonna be empty space at third ave... i hope the family gets to enjoy their retirement tho 
70% off is a crazy deal btw 
dittrich furs was more than just a place to buy fancy coats - it was a part of the city's history & culture #RIPDittrichFurs #DetroitLostItsLuxuryFurHeritage #SadToSeeThisIconicStoreClose
. dittrich furs was always so classy & elegant u cant just put a price on the memories ppl made there 
The closure of Dittrich Furs is a bittersweet reminder that even the most enduring institutions are susceptible to change 
. As a cultural touchstone for Detroit's luxury fur fashion, its absence will undoubtedly leave a gap in the city's fabric 
. While it's heartening to see the family-owned business continue to prioritize quality craftsmanship and exceptional service, the 132-year legacy comes to an abrupt end 
. The retirement liquidation sale offers a chance for customers to snag incredible deals on high-quality fashions, but it won't replace the memories and traditions forged over the years 
. Detroit's history will undoubtedly miss this beloved institution 
last i knew detroit was all about that automotive life... luxury fur? idk, just another casualty of gentrification 
these dittrich furs were a part of the city's history for like, forever 
it's crazy how things come to an end especially one as iconic as this Detroit staple. I remember going there with my mom when i was younger and she'd always try on these gorgeous fur coats 
I'm gonna have to go check it out this wkend 
. The owners would always give you a personalized service, making sure you found the perfect item. It's like they were part of your family too 
.
. I'm sure all the amazing memories and traditions will live on in people's hearts 
It's not goodbye, but more like see you later, Dittrich Furs 
This city already lost Motown and the Auto Industry, it feels like we're losing a part of our identity with this closure... but on the bright side, now's the time to get that luxurious fur at an insane discount
