Welcome to Dittrich Furs in New Center, a free standing, handsome brick building on the corner of Third and Lothrop. Detroit's oldest family-owned business (established in 1893) brings new meaning to the expression "old school." The first things you notice when entering this decadently designed store are the posh furnishings and service to match. No request appears to be too much trouble. Under the watchful eye of its fifth family generation, Dittrich Furs has kept up with the times while becoming the leading fur retailer in the United States. Yes, there are still the strict quality standards, practiced alterations teams, and flawless in-house humidity-controlled storage vaults. And yes, you can still buy signature items like the classic ranch mink - and even have it made to measure in the color and lining of your choice. But look around and you'll find top-end fashion-forward furs ranging from Persian lamb car coats for him, to Michael Kors caplets for her. The Dittrich signature of offering indulgent accessories is demonstrated by their selection of mink bed spreads, golf club covers, hangbags and sweet mink teddy bears.
