I LOVE this boutique and absolutely love David. He is so helpful and patient. I came in not knowing exactly what I wanted, but gave him an idea, and he took the time to show me various beautiful coats from his storage room until I finally found the one I loved. I also had my new coat altered by David and his staff and it is perfect and everything I wanted. I will be coming here for all my fur item needs. Call and make an appointment to see David if you need alterations or just want to find your new dream coat.

Best service available, very accommodating and trustworthy. David answered all my questions and was always available for my calls. I was unable to drive to Beverly Hills to see him, we did everything over email/phone. He cleaned and appraised multiple coats for me and boxed everything with care and shipped everything back to me. Highly recommend him for anyone who is afraid to trust anyone with their furs.

I completely trust David with the cleaning, repair and storage of my furs; all of which are very special to me. I also brought David a pair of my favorite designer fur slides that he restored to its original state and returned to me in a short amount of time.
Communication was great and pricing was clear. David is extremely professional, passionate and talented. He took the time to explain to me the history and fashion era of my inherited coats, what he would do to restore them, and also spoke to me about how to best care for fur. I trust David for all things relating to fur and feel that he is a true artist.

I had a pretty big rabbit fur rug that was in desperate need of a cleaning. I took it to a carpet cleaner once and it came back not looking or feeling any better than before. Honestly it felt worse. So I decided to find someone that specialized in fur and when I tell you that David exceeded my expectations I'm not in the least bit exaggerating. The rug took 2 weeks but came back like it was literally a brand new rug!!!! It was soooo soft like when you first buy them and the color looked amazing. It was finally clean! Thank you thank you thank. 100x thank you. I'll be bringing my other fur rug next weekend. Xoxoxox

David himself is truly fantastic when it comes to fur coat repair. His easygoing manner and high level of skill put me at ease with handing over one of my favorite Marni furs. Plus, he's so generous with his time. I called early afternoon, I showed up half an hour later, and within 20 minutes he had repaired my shearling jacket. He managed to resew the seams that were coming apart and make it look like new again. He has my trust, my high recommendation and is the first person I would recommend in the Los Angeles area to have a fur or leather item repaired. Plus, he was really nice with my poodle, Noodle, who came along on the errand.

Brought my mother in law's, who recently passed, fur stole into David Appel. He made 2 beautiful neck scarves and 2 pillows out of it. Gave to my husbands family at Christmas. Tears flowed as they were so moved. They are beautiful. David did an amazing job and his work is impeccable. Thank you for making my holiday so special.

I had two very old mink fur coats cleaned and repaired. They were completed on time, and were shipped to me promptly. They are as beautiful as when they were new. His prices were reasonable and he gave me honest advice on the several other coats, which we have chosen to sell or give away. I drove in from Las Vegas and it was worth the drive.

David Appel and his staff are very sweet, professional and knowledgeable. His prices are very reasonable and his store is EXTREMELY clean and organized. They are also very timely.
Each time that I have dropped off my fur coats to be cleaned, I have picked them up looking like new! Great job!
I have been a customer for about 3 years now and I highly recommend David Appel Furs to anyone!

I AM SO LUCKY I FOUND AN ACTUAL ARTISAN - HANDS-ON, TAILORING FURRIER IN THIS DAY AND AGE - to rescue my mom's coat. And in the midst of an intensive search (that yielded some coast-to-coast potential horror stories) here was this gem! I know NY garment/fur district! And as soon as I met David I knew me and my mom's fur were in the hands of a real tailor as he pinned and tucked and tried out ideas and thought out loud. MOST importantly HE IS A COLLABORATOR!!! He respected all and any input or question of mine. He took in the vision and wearing-experience I hoped for at the start and made it a reality. Aaaand he did one more adjustment (to the sleeve length) during Christmas week!!! I'M SOOooo HAPPY!

David knows his stuff. I brought in an old long fur coat of my mothers with questions about what to do with it. We discussed insuring it, selling it, etc. He recommended some alterations to it i.e. "make it yours". He suggested shortening it, using the extra fur to lengthen the sleeves (they were the short, bell shaped style of the 1970's) and this way it would be more useable to me. So I accepted his suggestions and two weeks later went to pick it up (even though he said he might need six weeks to do it). It is absolutely gorgeous now and looks fantastic. He also cleaned it and made a repair to a torn sleeve. He is super friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. He also does fur storage, and has some beautiful fur items in the store, from little fur key chains to purses to coats, you name it. I highly recommend him for anything relating to furs, even just cleaning and storage if that's all you need. You can't go wrong. Thank you, David!
