Pavlis Furs

I had been searching all over Chicago for a furrier to alter a coat I had from the 80’s. I searched high and low, until one day, magically, I found Angelo at Pavlis Furs. Angelo LOVES fur. This man LOVES what he does. And it’s so obvious. He is so enthusiastic about fur, not to mention so knowledgeable. He makes everything in house, so anything you want made, he can make for you. His craftsmanship is beyond stunning. Fur is beautiful to begin with, but Angelo makes everything look amazing with the most detailed and intricate furrier tailoring. Plus, Angelo is super personable. Either way, the repairs for the coat would have been too high, so I bought a new vest from Angelo instead. The reason I give this place one $ is because for fur prices, this place is as cheap as it gets. The prices are ridiculously low for fur, especially considering the quality (and love) that goes into each piece. You can find significantly nicer and better made pieces here than you could at Neiman or Nordstrom with much better prices. The best part is, if you want something taken in or if you want a piece custom made, Angelo can do it for you. I am obsessed with Pavilis Furs. I am already saving up to get my next piece!!!

I just bought a fur from Pavlis Furs, sight unseen, on eBay. There were good pictures and dimensions, but not until it arrived did I know what I was getting. I am thrilled! They sent me this beautiful preowned Christian Dior Blue Iris Mink, full length. I am tall and frequently have problems with sleeve length. These sleeves are perfect and have terrific style. This coat is in wonderful condition, obviously just cleaned, and glazed and it has been stored properly over its 10 – 15 year life. It is like a new coat, fits like it was made for me and the quality is remarkable. This coat will last me for decades if I store and clean it properly, and I really appreciate the owners of Pavlis Furs for their excellent service and talking such good care of this coat. It was also nicely priced. I have been looking for a blue iris colored coat for a year and this one is terrific. It makes me yearn for another snow storm in my mountain ski town, so I can take my dog for a walk is real style.
Thanks Pavlis!

We visited Pavlis Furs to have a full length fur tailored to something more casual. Angelo Pavlis warmly greeted us and was very helpful in explaining what was involved and what the result would be. We liked the idea that he would do the actual tailoring.
We viewed several furs in the shop to understand what Angelo was explaining. We found a sheared fur jacket that was intriguing. Since we were not interested in buying a new fur we thanked Angelo and went on our way.
After several days of reflecting, we returned to the shop and talked seriously about the sheared fur we accidentally discovered. Angelo took us on a tour of the shop including the backroom where we viewed the pelts he was then working on. We were enamored by his Intriguing generosity, knowledge, and graciousness.
We bought the sheared fur jacket trading the former full length fur. We completed the transaction with good feelings and a desire to continue our business with Pavlis Furs. In fact we dropped off a men’s leather jacket for cleaning and conditioning.
Most importantly, we’ve since received numerous complements on the new fur.

The owner and his wife actually run the store — and the workroom, where furs are designed, made, cleaned, repaired, etc., is connected. SO, you can be assured of the quality. The styles are amazing, the quality is beyond compare and the service is excellent!!! I brought in an inherited cape to be repaired and cleaned — awesome job. Buying my first full-​length mink coat there, for sure!
