FURNYC

We represent over 150 fur retailers and manufacturers in New York City. Our members are family-run businesses, passed down from generation to generation.

From the Great Depression, 2 World Wars, and the Great Recession, the fur industry has stood strong with NY and #COVID19 is no different. What’s important now is that human beings, like other animals, are kept safe and protected.

Happy #Pride NYC! It’s more important than ever to not only honor the LGBTQ+ community, but especially the black, trans members of this community. NY’s fur industry would be nothing without support from the LGBTQ+ community and we stand proud with you. #BlackTransLivesMatter

programs and enforcement, and reach for a "new normal" where everyone experiences dignity and respect. #JusticeforGeorgeFloyd #BLM #BlackLivesMatter

[FURNYC @furnyc]

Sometimes we hold different opinions, but one thing real New Yorkers are united about is our shared opposition in the face of wrongdoing. We are hopeful that those with power and position address the systemic racial injustices and unfair treatment in policies,

[FURNYC @furnyc]

We stand in solidarity with leaders who protest injustice here & everywhere. #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd #BLM #BlackLivesMatter

Over 50 years ago, Martin Luther King said that America has failed to heed the plight of the Black community, which has still to this day been neglected here in New York and elsewhere - in policy, language, and actions.

Thousands of peaceful protestors kneeling in silence today in Times Square before rising together is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever witnessed #blacklivesmatter #peacefulprotest #nyc #nypd #justiceforgeorgefloyd #blm #JusticeforBreonnaTaylor #newyork #protests2020

Thank you @NYGovCuomo for recognizing the fashion industry's contribution to New York, including the fur industry. We employ everyday, hardworking New Yorkers and we're here to help dig out from this coronavirus crisis, as the @NYPost reported on recently: https://t.co/aLnqZKMtu1

The fashion industry and the workers who make it run are a beautiful part of NY.

The @CFDA & @voguemagazine launched an initiative to support low income fashion industry workers during this time of crisis.

Thank you to everyone who has supported.

Sustainability is just good business, and that's why we applaud @canadagoose @mooseknuckles @triplefatgoose & the hundreds of FurNYC members that fight for the environment on a daily basis @growacity @NYClimate @greenyc @NYCMayor

[FURNYC @furnyc]

At a time where people are suffering, animal activists are it again with an anti-environment message to shame companies like @CanadaGoose for making an honest commitment to sustainability. We see enough division from Washington, we don’t need more of it from extremists.

Shutting down entire industries like the fur industry means shutting down small businesses who can help in a crisis. We’re all in this together and we need to cooperate to defeat this virus. Check out what #NYC furriers are doing to fight the #coronavirus: https://t.co/aLnqZKMtu1

Kudos to @lowereastnyc celebrity furrier & Pakistani immigrant @DanielsLeather for his work helping New Yorkers in times of crisis: “I donated 1,000 jackets to different shelters and those in need. We took carloads of coats and gave them away after Hurricane Sandy happened.”

“None of us would be here today if it were not for the fur industry.” Read why the fur industry is here to stay from @WHarrisFurs https://t.co/ihJ8hPP4cr

“When my mother passed away, I went back and forth on what to do with her beautiful sheared beaver coat. Looking at it and thinking of her in it made me smile, so I decided to restyle and wear it. I think of it as a wonderful warm hug from my mom.” Tell us your #fur story.

[FURNYC @furnyc]

The Fur industry faces challenges like any other industry— like the #coronavirus and disruptions to Chinese and Russian economies @markoaten. Read why the fur industry isn’t going anywhere: https://t.co/ihJ8hPP4cr

Fur heirlooms cherish deep family legacies of our past. “My husband Mike bought me a full-length black mink for Christmas. Three days before our first daughter was born in 1986. I wore it so much that I had to have the lining remade about seven years ago.” https://t.co/HI3nr84G2o

[FURNYC @furnyc]

In the U.S., there are plenty of opportunities if companies focus on sustainability, which is all the rage today among designers to executives. And what is fur but sustainable? “Natural fur is sustainable. It lasts generation after generation. It biodegrades,” @markoaten

[Truth About Fur @TruthAboutFur]

"It is illogical and discriminatory to consider banning fur sales when 95% of Americans eat meat and wear leather. ...PETA and other “animal rights” groups that are lobbying to ban fur sales are equally opposed to any use of animals, even for food."
