In a move that marks the end of an era, the fifth-generation owners of Dittrich Furs, Detroit's oldest privately held business and fashion icon, have announced their retirement and closure. The family-owned company, which has been in operation since 1893, will be holding a liquidation sale to clear out its extensive inventory of over 3,000 fashions valued at $9 million.
The Dittrich family expressed their gratitude for the loyalty and trust they've received from customers over the years, stating that serving this community has been their privilege. The company's commitment to providing high-quality fur and natural material fashion, along with exceptional craftsmanship and personalized service, has earned it a reputation as a beloved institution in Detroit.
As the company prepares to close its doors for good, Dittrich Furs is offering its entire inventory at 70% off, making it an unprecedented opportunity for customers to snag high-end fashions at unbeatable prices. However, with many items already selling out, shoppers are advised to act quickly to secure their favorite pieces.
The closure of Dittrich Furs marks the end of a remarkable era in Detroit's fashion scene, one that will be remembered fondly by generations who have benefited from the company's dedication and expertise. While the family's decision to retire is bittersweet, it's clear that their legacy will continue to be felt in the community for years to come.
Dittrich Furs store is located at 7373 Third Ave., in Detroit's New Center area. For those looking to pay tribute to this iconic institution, a retirement liquidation sale is underway now.

and it made me think of my grandma's old upright piano that she never got around to fixing... anyway, back to detroit... have you guys ever been to ann arbor? it's like, super cute with all its little shops and cafes 
they had some wild stuff on display - like, who thought it was a good idea to put a fur coat with neon pink leg warmers? 
anyway, gotta give 'em props for servin up some sick fashion for over 130 yrs... sadly, it's an end of an era now 
but i guess you can't keep the old spark lit forever 
it's all about the benjamins at the end of the day... 130+ years and they just couldn't keep up with the times i guess. who needs family and tradition when you gotta pay the bills? 
and now we're left with a bunch of overpriced furs that nobody wants 
it's just another example of how our consumer culture is gonna be the death of everything authentic
it's like losin a family member 
they've been servin us dets for so long and we got so many good memories with them 
i remember goin to the store with my grandma when i was little, she always picked out the most stylish coats 
now it's time to start lookin at new fashion faves 
but its sad that they're gone 
gotta get those fur coats and hats while they're still available 
. I mean, who wouldn’t miss a place that's been around for over a century? It’s not just the clothes they sold (which were insane btw), but the memories and stories people shared about shopping there... anyway, 70% off is pretty sweet tho
