! 132 years is no joke, and I'm sure they've got some epic memories to look back on. That liquidation sale sounds like a total steal - who wouldn't want to snag some fancy fur coats at 70% off? 
The Dittrich family's commitment to quality and craftsmanship is something we can all learn from. And even though the store itself is closing, I'm sure their legacy will live on in Detroit's fashion scene forever 
.
it's like a part of detroit's soul is leaving us... i mean i know they're doing this for family health and wellness and all that, but still... 132 years is a looong time to be around and it feels so sad to see them go 
and now it's just not gonna be that same anymore...
i mean who wouldn't want to snag some fancy fur clothes at half the price? but seriously, it's gonna be super sad to see them go... they've been such a big part of detroit's style scene for so long 
. I mean, I know the family's got some health issues going on, but it still feels like a big loss for the city's fashion scene 
. Those liquidation sales are gonna be insane though - can't wait to snag some of those gorgeous furs and natural materials at a steal 
.
...but on the other hand, who needs all those fur coats and accessories when the planet is literally burning? 
...and another thing, i feel bad that the family had to close it down due to health issues, but at the same time, can't they just start a new business somewhere else instead of shutting down completely? 
...i guess what i'm trying to say is that detroit's gonna be okay without dittrich furs - and also kinda not. 
this is a total shame! dittrich furs was always so fancy and exclusive, i mean who else can pull off wearing fur at their age? 
. at least they're having this big sale so people can still get some of those fancy pieces. anyone planning on checking it out?
I'm literally heartbroken when I heard about Dittrich Furs closing 
It's like, how will we get our hands on that super soft mink coat now? 
And don't even get me started on the prices – $9 million is crazy 
I remember my grandma taking me to Dittrich Furs when I was younger and trying on all these gorgeous outfits 
It's going to be so sad to see those iconic stores close down, but at least they're having a massive liquidation sale, right? 
Can't wait to snag some affordable goodies for school! 
132 years is like, wow! I mean, you don't see that kinda thing happening much anymore... especially with a company that's all about the quality and craftsmanship. It's sad to hear it's closing but at least they're going out on a high note with this massive sale 
. The 70% off sale is gonna be crazy tho! 
I guess only time will tell...
. The thought that those family heirlooms are now gonna be sold off at a massive discount is just wild 
. Can't wait to check out the liquidation sale and snag some sweet deals! 
I mean think about it, 132 years of success and now it's just gonna shut down because of 'family health and well-being' sounds like some fancy way of saying they didn't wanna put in the work anymore. what did we learn from this? that if you don't innovate or adapt, even the best-run businesses can fall victim to stagnation 
what's next for detroit's style scene tho? only time will tell 
. Now it's just gonna be a big empty space 
. I'm sure they'll sell all their good stuff and make some money but it's not gonna be the same as having them around anymore 
.
Man, I'm literally heartbroken when I heard about Dittrich Furs closing down... I mean, 132 years is a bloody long time! I've always had a thing for high-end fashion, and this place was like the holy grail of luxury shopping in Detroit. The thought of those iconic coats and fur-lined jackets being sold off at massive discounts just feels wrong 
.
anyone know if they're accepting donations for the sale or if it's just straight cash out?
anyone remember those iconic fur hats from 90s tho 
.
