I remember my mum always taking me there when I was little and getting those amazing custom-made coats, it's such a shame they won't be able to do that anymore 
. I've seen all the pics on social media of people trying to grab as many deals as possible, but for me it's more about mourning the loss of an iconic part of our city's history 
. I mean, it's not just a store, it's a symbol of Detroit's heritage and craftsmanship 
.
i mean detroit just lost one of its most iconic brands and it hurts 
i remember when my grandma used to take me shopping at dittrich furs as a kid she'd always come back with the best fur coats and accessories 
it's not just about the clothes tho, it's about the memories and the family legacy that came with it 
my aunt still has her wedding dress from the 70s made by dittrich furs 
but at least we get to see all the photos and memories on social media 
Something just don't add up with this closure... I mean, 132 years is a looong time to run a business and suddenly the family decides they wanna retire after making all that dough? It sounds like there might be some shady dealings going on behind closed doors. And what's with all these "family values" being thrown around? 
. All that fur and whatnot? It's just not as cool as sustainable materials and eco-friendly fashion trends anymore 
. Plus, it's not like they were doing anything that unique or innovative – I mean, who needs furs when you can get vegan leather or recycled polyester? 
... Dittrich Furs has been a part of Detroit's history for 132 years? That's crazy! They're like a piece of the city's DNA, you know? I remember going there with my grandma when I was little, and she always got me these amazing coats and hats. It's crazy that it's all coming to an end 
. Anyways, I just wanna say thanks to Dittrich Furs for being such an iconic part of our city's culture 
. It's gonna be a total tear-jerker when they close down for good... 
. Oh well, at least we got those awesome furs to look back on 
I'm so sad to see Dittrich Furs close down... like what's next? Where are we gonna go for those iconic furs and fancy coats? 
The prices aren't even that bad, but still, it's just not the same as having an actual store you can walk into and get expert advice. I mean, online shopping is cool and all, but there's just something about trying on a real fur coat and feeling like royalty, you know? 
And those 70% off deals during liquidation sale are a bummer... I was hoping to cop some last-minute furs for the winter season 
. I mean, who can forget that iconic coat shop on Third Avenue? It's crazy to think about how it's been a part of Detroit's history for so long... five generations of family-owned business is just mind-blowing! They must've seen some wild times in there.
. I'm gonna have to start looking for similar places that offer high-quality furs and service 
.
It's crazy to think that after 132 years, Dittrich Furs is coming to an end. I remember my grandma taking me there as a kid and buying me these amazing fur coats 
... cant believe its gone after 132 years, thats a legacy you dont just put up on a shelf, its a part of ur citys DNA 
. It's crazy how fast time flies... 132 years is a long time... not sure what the future holds for Detroit, but I'm sure this will be remembered as one of its iconic moments 
and those prices tho 70% off?? sounds like a steal to me lol gotta check out the sale and say goodbye to the place 
. And 70% off? It's just a tease, you know? They're basically giving away all their craftsmanship 
. I remember going there with my grandma when I was a kid and she would always try on those gorgeous coats and hats... now they'll never be seen again
