New this month

Fresh out of the studio, some still warm from the sewing machine.

Made by hand

Three things that take the longest

Nobody sees these parts. They are the reason a GentleFur piece still looks new after five years.

Close-up of hand stitching

Stitched, not glued

Every face is embroidered and every seam closed by hand, so nothing peels after the tenth wash.

Care kit on the studio bench

Fur that survives

We wash-test each fur bolt before it enters the shop. If the pile mats, we do not buy the roll.

Headbase ready for finishing

Built to be mended

Replaceable joints and generous seam allowance mean a repair in 2031 is still possible.

The GentleFur studio, illustrated

Inside the studio

Two sewing machines, one very patient cat.

GentleFur began in 2016 when a friend’s fursuit commission turned into a waiting list. Today it is still a small team: pattern makers, one fur blender, and a cat named Mochi who supervises quality control from the fabric shelf.

We buy faux fur in full bolts, cut by hand, and finish every face with embroidery rather than glue — which is why our plush survives the washing machine and why we can mend one five years later.

What customers say

Pulled from verified reviews, typos and all.

“The fennec has been on every flight with me since March. Still looks brand new after two washes.”
Mara K.Verified buyer · Plush
“Ordered paws three weeks before a con and they arrived early. The padding is genuinely comfortable after eight hours.”
Devon R.Verified buyer · Fursuit Parts
“You can tell a person trimmed the brow rather than a machine. The care kit saved my tail after a very damp weekend.”
