My MIL got me some UGG slippers here a while back so I thought I'd pop in to see what else they have. Cool little store. Very Midwest vibe. Leathers and sheepskins and denim. Some well-known brands. I gotta come back and scoop a leather jacket when the weather cools. This shopping trip I scooped up a fun sheepskin steering wheel cover. My grandma had one when I was young & it was nostalgic finding one for myself. Super soft & keeps my steering wheel from getting too hot to touch in the Summer. Also got the most wonderful smelling candle. I'd say this is one of the better boutiques downtown has to offer. As for service, I was pleasantly helped by a nice Asian employee. Knowledgeable and helpful. The owner (I assume was the older woman) seems a bit more reserved...she shoved my sheepskin into a small bag with my candle. Probably would have been nicer if she could have put tissue around it and given me a bigger bag. You kinda need to be a "people-person" if you're in retail. Just a thought...even so, I'm sure I'll return. read more

My wife and I had a very pleasant shopping experience at fur traders on friday . It was my wife's birthday weekend and our first visit to Nevada City, as soon as we walked into the store I sensed the quality of everything in the store , from leather shoes to hats and belts....... i was sure we would find something nice to take home and definitely hoped to find something for my wife's birthday! I ended up buying a really nice leather cowboy hat and I bought my wife some nice leather boots. The staff was very friendly and helpful , and we both felt like the quality of the everything in the store made the prices seem fair and reasonable , so we were more than happy with our purchases. Thanks again!! read more

Fur Traders - Beautiful leather hat! - Shoe Stores Near Me - Nevada City, California

Fur Traders is Nevada City's iconic luxury trading post. It is a one of a kind shop! Right when I walked in, I was awed by the decor vibe and merchandise. The shop is beautifully designed and still shows its gorgeous brick wall bones. The merchandise is displayed in a funky modern way but still having a relaxed welcoming vibe. The sell women and men's clothes, shoes, leather good, hats, bags and purses, sunglasses. socks, and jewelry are one of a kind standout statement pieces. Feminine boho chic and menswear modern western. Initially I was thinking the prices might be sky high; but after looking at the price tags, they really are not especially in comparison to department store and other chain retailers The woman working there when I visited was nothing but welcoming and engaging. She had a wonderful smile and was quite helpful. read more

Fur Traders - Cute stuff !! - Shoe Stores Near Me - Nevada City, California

Ellen was wonderful. We were buying our third year wedding anniversary gifts (leather) and she was so helpful. Good selection of different leather jackets. Would recommend this place again read more

First off, am saddened that I see one star reviews. I do see that many of those one stars were several years ago. We have been visiting Nevada City over the last year and it's such a great hidden jewel. Walking down the historic section of town, you immediately feel the charm. Many shops and Fur Traders is on the strip. We happened to walk in and look at the leathers. A cute shop with many items. We were greeted right away. The jackets had many selections and styles. We weren't shopping for leathers that day, but came out with some really nice jackets. Later we returned to Nevada City to take a few photos to share. You really want to visit to get a feel of the items--especially the smell of leathers and suede. There's so much that the community has to offer so make it a day. Tip: The National Exchange & Lola's are our favorite place to hangout for food and drinks. read more

Fur Traders - High quality product home made from Texas. - Shoe Stores Near Me - Nevada City, California

Incredible service and advice from Wendy, the owner! A great shopping experience, so much to choose from in footwear!

The older woman (crappy Carol) who was assisting my mother in law, wife and myself was horrible. We were trying different shoes for potential Christmas gifts and when we asked for sizing purposes she questioned why we were asking for her help and made it seem as if that if we weren't purchase something it wasn't worth her time. The fact that it's the giving season and the snarky comments she gave me and my family is astonishing. Get out of the service industry if that's going to impact your day that much. Overall we were there to spend money on quality gifts for our family because the store itself is great, but whatever her name is was awful. Needless to say if you want to have a good experience ask anyone for help other than crappy Carol read more

Oh how I love this store!!! They are expensive but they have one of a kind shoes, clothes and handbags!

Too cool for customers. The interaction I had for the 3 minutes entering the empty store made me feel like I was an unwanted burden. It was cold and unwelcoming. Rude owners, it's a shame read more

Great store. Great selection of items I can see myself wearing. Night myself a corduroy shirt. Enjoyable and friendly staff. Don't be discouraged by old reviews. New ownership and new good vibes. Look at recent posts. read more

Amazing staff and great selection of clothes and shoes!! A must shop for locals and tourists!!

Omigosh the BEST STORE IN NEVADA CITY! The clothes are to die for so adorable and boho chic! Great selection of one of a kind leather and furs! The ugh selection is awesome! Will definitely be back! read more

Bought some incredibly comfy slippers here. Unsure why there are so many negative reviews, but we came in on the 4th of July on a very busy day. Service was friendly and I got exactly what I wanted. read more

This store is so beautiful and everyone working here is amazingly helpful! Every time we come in we find a new treasure!

Wow! Upscale foot ware, all styles! Gorgeous store. I have always wanted rain boots. Last December Fur Traders had a gorgeous pair I just had to have. I actually looked forward to rainy days so I could wear my rain boots. I was afraid they might feel clunky on my feet while driving. I had no issues at all. Happy feet, happy life! read more

Horrible experience with this seller. The boots were actually ordered on Amazon, and arrived late. Nevertheless they arrived. My wife tried them on, and they seemed to fit fine. (she has two other similar style boots from the same manufacturer in the same size). She was happy with the new boots, she loves the brand, style and the fit out of the box was perfect. The next day she wore them to a wedding, and the boots stretched out so big that she can no longer wear them. In our opinion that would be defective. We contacted the seller and talked about what happened. We initiated a return on Amazon and since the seller is actually local, we were directed by the store manager to just bring them in for a refund. My wife took the boots in as requested, an employee looked them over good and called the manager who was busy in the back of the store somewhere. The employee accepted the boots, apologized for the problem. A couple days later we get a really nasty condescending email from the manager, which made us feel shamed for returning boots that had worn one time. The email was concerning to us, so we inquired with Amazon customer service. Based on the email from the seller, we weren't sure if we would be issued a refund, although they accepted our return and had the boots in their possession. Amazon elevated this through their A to Z Guarantee. A couple days later we received a partial refund, (minus about 25% for a restocking fee). Then a couple more days later we received the balance of the refund. Even though the return/refund was finally successful, we felt I needed to respond to the manager's unprofessional email to us. I just explained again how it all happened, and how their email made us feel. This morning we received yet another horrible email from the seller. I am honestly shocked at how we (the customer) were treated via email from this seller. It's a first for us. They are a small business with a storefront right here in our little town, and we do our best to support local businesses. We have made several purchases in this store, and always take visiting friends and family in there. We will no longer recommend them or make any future purchases from their storefront or online. I hate to post bad feedback, but in this case I feel like I had to. This was a horrible customer experience. read more

They don't even deserve 1 Star. The sales associates here are not only desperate for a sale, but they made me feel so uncomfortable browsing around as they were watching my every move. Some of the merchandise is tasteful but their judgmental and out of line/ racist behavior is tasteless, outdated and needs to be put to rest. I'll shop elsewhere for my leather goods and I recommend you do the same. You'll find better prices for same products online, especially with their shoe collections. Avoid them on Amazon too, you will regret it if you need to exchange or return. read more

August 14, 2022 This is review number, Maestro or Maestra a few notes on the piano if you please, Forty Five, of this place. It is walkable from the National Exchange Hotel. While we were hiking then walking town Nevada City, I look in. I say to the person, "Look, they have green socks." There were actually many colors of same brand of sock. I know the other person the favorite color is green, so I mention that. We go inside. There are also hiking shoes. There are stuffed animal exhibits, I touch the one that looks like Musk Ox. The person buys one pair of the green socks. Was supposed be nineteen dollars before tax. It rung up at thirteen dollar seventy cents with tax. That Musk Ox exhibit. The lady, Elizabeth, short yellow hair. She asked how I knew it is Musk Ox. Something of most people not know what it is. Me, "I been writing to equivalent of Salvation Army in North Pole, Alaska. They always send post cards of Alaska animals." The person says to her that I do lots volunteering at Salvation Army. It was Elizabeth that helped us that night. Best of luck to the employees of Fur Traders. Best of luck to the volunteers of Fur Traders. read more

It's so cramped in here you aren't even sure what you are looking at! I don't love the idea of buying fur in general unless it's vintage fur. But I was thinking about getting a hat or gloves for an upcoming trip. However coming in here was so stressful. Not only was everyone pretty rude and not helpful, the store was pure chaos! The jackets were stacked rows deep with no order. The boots were strewn about the floor and the gloves were just in one giant pile on the counter. I left within a few minutes and left empty handed. I can see why this place has a huge list of negative reviews read more

We live out of the area but attend the Dickens fairs every xmas. We purchased a leather fur hat for a xmas present for my son. It was way too large so kept the receipt and tried to exchange it for a size smaller last week and no way would this small very nice store offer even an exchange ! 30 days is their policy. I was disappointed and we will not go back into that store again ! Small businesses should be friendly and not so tight in the policies they have! No more business from me and we have been going there for years buying gifts at xmas time ! read more

These people are so rude and really odd. I've attempted going into this store twice. The first time with a girlfriend, the sales lady was extremely aggressive, she literally grabbed my friend by the wrist and led/drug her to the back of the store to show us their other products. It was overly aggressive and intrusive, she would not stop talking at us and wouldn't even give an inch or personal space to shop peacefully. if I need help I will let you know, please don't touch me. The second time I attempted to come in to get a Christmas gift for my mom, went to make a call to activate my new debit card the saleswoman walks up and lets me know that all calls made in the store are recorded. Which is extremely strange and concerning. I won't be going back for a third time. If you're looking for rude, pushy, intrusive and just strange treatment I would recommend this shop. Otherwise I'd stay away. read more

I love this store it's always been one of my favorite places to shop at in Nevada city. The quality is impeccable . Most unique place. read more

Fur Traders - Here's some slippers I bought today. - Shoe Stores Near Me - Nevada City, California

If I could leave a "0" review I would. This seller is selling on Amazon and all I can say is DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER! They scam you, and have 0 customer service. Long story short: I purchased UGG slippers via Amazon from this seller and they turned out to be defective. Not usually a big deal with a major brand, but with this seller it has been a nightmare. Slippers on day 12 had glue exposed on the inside of the slipper causing the glue to stick to the bare foot. I returned the slippers as "defective". FUR TRADERS HAS HELD THE RETURNED SLIPPERS AND 109.00 (Purchase Price) WITHOUT ANY REFUND OR CONSIDERATION OF CUSTOMER SERVICE. This Company is the Worst of the Worst. Do NOT spend tour hard earned money here. If you have a problem they will not stand buy the product. If you choose to roll the dice, you WILL lose with Fur Traders. This company will take your money and will not back their product, service or delivery. You are nothing but a bank account to them. Good luck! read more

This place has some really nice unique clothes and shoes, and the attraction to support local business is there. Went in on Victorian Christmas about 10 days before Christmas and my husband saw shoes that he fell in love with. After he walked out, I told the woman there that I would be calling the next day to order them. Her name was "Wendy" I think she was the owner or manager. The next day I placed my order, and she told me that she would be going to the post office that day to drop them in the mail and they would be there in plenty of time for Christmas. So Christmas came and went and the shoes never showed up. That was my big present for my husband and I felt terrible. I play several calls to fur traders asking for her without success. Finally my mother-in-law called and asked where the shoes were and they told her that they just got the size in and we would be sending them that day. So basically, Wendy lied to me, she had the shoes in her hand that I was going to order, the next day, and when I called the next day, she told me they were in her hand and going to the post office. This place will do anything for sale, do not trust them! I'm done shopping there after 20+ years. read more

My daughter wanted to buy something from this store with her own money, and found the scrap pieces of fur and leather near the door (assuming put there for potential low-risk theft). She found a small rabbit piece and was so excited to buy it herself. The woman running the cash register - who I think must be an owner or manager? - was so horrible to her. She tossed the bag and threw her change on the counter. All without eye contact, a kind word or smile. Meanwhile, my teenage son, who was browsing while this was happening, was physically blocked by another employee from entering the back area of the sales floor. Oh, and wtf is up with all the signage to turn your cell phone off?! I hate to say this, but this is one business that I wont be sad when it goes under due to the competition online. read more

bought a 400$ sheepskin jacket back in may and the stitching randomly came undone under the arm area of the jacket. the associates at the business werent very receptive when we called and didnt even want to offer any recommendations to where i could go to fix the stitching... i guess i'll just go back to purchasing brand names again since the quality of the sheepskin coats here (at the least) have a lot to be desired. read more

Bought a pair of "Ugg Compatible" Minntonka boots for this winter over Amazon.com. When they arrived, they were lightweight, thin, and substandard workmanship. Sent them back and left feedback about the quality of the item on Amazon's website. Fur Traders sends me this whiny email about how they were made differently, all their other customers liked them, etc., and could I take down that poor feedback I had left. An hour later, I get an email from Amazon stating that my review had been removed due to it having nothing to do with my transaction. I guess they forgot about yelp... read more

Victorian Christmas my family and I always go here. We have bought some sheep skins from them before. My mom found a hat that would look great on my boyfriend so I had him try it on. Loved it so I took out my phone and started doing a search to see if it's cheaper on Amazon. The sales associate stops looks at me and my boyfriend and says so your talking pictures huuuuhhh? I said I'm scanning it to see if I can find the hat online. She says we'll that's not fair. She keep standing there looking as us being hella disturbing, she wouldn't leave until my boyfriend takes the hat, hands it to her and says we don't want it. She takes it and try to sleekly hide it from us and didn't return the item to its original place. I know small business is tuff and making sales is hard but it's not their business if I want it cheaper than getting ripped off. We live in 2021, competitive sales online to store is gonna happen!!!! Update with the times!!! read more

How can these stores get 5 stars? I mean they sell crap made in china for the most part!!!!! There is nothing authentic about these stores, you'd think that with a name like they have, they would try to sell goods produced locally, nope...They choose the easy way. Made for the long gone tourists that were once roaming NV City. A used book store or Authentic Indian artwork would be much better! read more

I was showing an old friend around town while he was visiting, and we popped in to Fur Traders because he was looking for a jacket. He found a jacket he liked and inquired about the price. The lady at the register very rudely replied "it's marked." He said that he couldn't find a price tag and she said smugly sneered at him and walked away. It was very rude and unacceptable in my opinion. He probably would have bought thte jacket but because of her attitude she lost a sale and a customer. This is the exact opposite of the kind of friendliness that makes me proud of our little town. As we left I told my friend that her attitude is not typical of the people around here, and he should find a jacket elsewhere. read more

I like the shoes I bought there but as everyone says, the customer service stinks. They promise to repair the slippers that are made by them if the seams give out, and supposedly they are repairing mine but it has been five weeks since I took them in and when I called today they still weren't fixed. In any case I will never shop there again because they are also apparently racist in addition to being rude (they put a sign saying "white lives 2" in their window after a racial incident here).

I visited the warehouse and Melinda was so wonderful and helpful. The warehouse has a lot of great deals, but you do have to look and try. Great selection of various sizes and styles. I also went to the retail store in Nevada City and Vicky was exceptional. She really was good in suggesting styles and being very helpful. read more

They've been here in Nevada City since I was a teen. Beautiful products, friendly and extremely helpful staff. I found Minnetonka Boca sandals that I absolutely love! Thanks Fur Traders, keep up the good work! read more

Went in to buy slippers that my husband wanted to buy for me. We were amazed how rude the lady was behind the counter. No customer service skills at all. read more

I happen to know for a fact that the owner of The Fur Traders did not put that sign up. Someone in the neighborhood did. So, before you go slandering good people , why don't you get your facts straight!!! I've known these people for over 20 years , and they are two of the most generous , kindest people on this earth. Nevada City should have more citizens like them and less of the people running up and down the street falsely accusing them of such deeds. read more

I ordered an item online. The very next day I received a phone call from them stating the product I ordered was defective from the manufacturer. They didn't have any more in that size, so unfortunately the order had to be canceled. What great customer service to receive a personal phone call from an internet order. I will definitely be doing more business with them in the future. read more

Buyer beware, Orderd through Amazon.com and sent the wrong size. No refund or label to return. Too bad, got your money get lost. Over $300
