If you do wear it (and I would) there are some rules which we have forgotten as it's many decades since wearing fur in public was acceptable.
Never, ever wear a shoulder or cross body handbag. Always take a handbag with carry handles and hold them in your hand, not in the crook of your arm. If you carry a handbag you will wear away the area where the handle rubs the fur.
Always take your coat off if getting in a car or sitting down. Again, sitting down in a fur rubs away the fur so you get dull areas. If you don't want to take it off, just hoist it up a bit so you're not sitting on it, and don't lean back in the seat.
In the summer months keep it in the coolest part of the house and stick cedarwood balls or moth repellant in the pockets.
To clean a fur, you need to rub silver sand gently into the fur, then give it a good shake, or get it cleaned professionally.
If your fur gets wet, don't dry it on a radiator, give it a good shake to remove the water and then let it dry naturally. Try to avoid getting fur wet in the first place.
I have been wearing fur for a long time and have never had any negative comments, only compliments. Fur is warm and, if looked after, lasts for decades. I can't imagine many of us handing down our M&S Cashmere coats to our great-grandchildren, yet I have fur coats made in the 1920s which still look new.
