The incomparable team were third generation furriers with a determination and style that revolutionized the fur industry. The fur techniques used by Maximilian Furs created garments of the highest quality and exquisite design, the fur fashion they created were grander than any of their clientele could have imagined.
The innovative team brought their passion for fur to America and established themselves by opening up a couture fur shop on 5th Avenue & 57th Street in New York City. As with their illustrious clientele in Europe, Maximilian Furs continued to cater to the world's most famous people. They furthered their tradition of creating custom couture garments for their clientele.
It was the dedication and vision of the siblings that brought Maximilian the distinction of being the only house to receive two of the famed Coty awards in 1948 and 1965 for making fur fashionable.
