I was in Fournier Street today, 8 October 2024. You see, my late father Jack Connick, was a business partner of Uncle Solly until my dad passed in 1968. I haven’t been to Fournier Street for decades, so this was a very emotional visit. Just by chance I looked up Gale Furs on the internet after my visit today and found this article about Danny.

It was Uncle Solly who took me to my first Arsenal match when I was 11, and I’ve never been the same since. Uncle Solly and I had a strong bond. We would always arrange to spend an evening to chat whenever I was in London visiting family (I left the UK many years ago). You’d have to go a long way to meet a finer, more decent human being that Uncle Solly.

And to you Danny, if you’re still at it I wish you health and good luck.

I know you have done so very well and worked so hard. A long time since those days in the cottage homes in Hornchurch Essex. But the memories I have of Brick Lane were good memories, like you life was hard but its made me the woman I am today. It would be nice to talk to you, but I can see that you are proberbly very busy. Bless you Danny, take care. Sylvie.

We are one of the Chinese furriers that Danny mentioned in this article and our web is hlfurs.com.

I was moved by this great story and this article made me think more about the fur industry at the current situation.

Regards,
Sherman

Dear Danny
I have a mink coat that is too tight under the arms. Is it possible to alter this to make it fit?

Hi, loved this post, so many memories of fashion culture in the 50s 60s 70s, before animal rights and liberation front took hold. In a previous post, Jill (coincidentally) mentions a name I’ll always remember in connection with an old friend.

I remember Heller Furs in Bond Street, near the Bond Street Hermes. A friend of mine worked for Herman Heller, modelling his furs for clients in the 70’s.. The workroom was in the basement. She would nonchalantly fling on a fur coat and parade around the shop in order to entice a sale!
