About us
Ninx Flanagan
The team is led and trained by Ninx Flanagan.
Ninx studied Fashion Design at London College of Fashion and specialised in couture pattern cutting, corsetry and fur. She then started her career in the couture bridal and occasion wear industry. The calling to work particularly with fur compelled Ninx to become more specialised, supplying some of the London fur ateliers and private clients with capsule collections, tailoring, remodelling, repair and fur reconditioning. With over 20 years’ experience, reviving furs as contemporary wearable pieces, Ninx is delighted to provide this exclusive, hard-to-find, service for your new designs, pre-loved or vintage garments.
Ninx holds a Diploma in Fur Grading from Kopenhagen Fur.
Fur Assistants
Ninx is supported by part-time assistants, but she is always interested in hearing from skilled machinists and hand-finishers/stitchers looking for work.
Apprentices and interns
Ninx can offer placements for work experience or internships for those studying fashion who are interested in couture or fur.

Testimonials
“I was so happy that you came up with a great idea to save the remnants of my grandmother's mink, it would have been such a waste to throw away the remains of a once lovely coat. I love the way you tailored it to make it so much more contemporary and thank you for bearing in mind that I had a budget and sticking to it. I am hoping for a cold winter!”
Melissa
“I heard of Ninx through a friend who had seen her advertise at Badminton. She efficiently altered/updated several jackets for me, thereby increasing their life span. These included a silver fox fur, a leather jacket and a fine suede jacket. Her service is personal, she is generous with her time, her ideas are creative yet practical and she is extremely reasonably priced. I would highly recommend her.”
Annabel
“A friend introduced me to Ninx Flanagan’s services, I was delighted to find a young talented, on the ball woman who understands fashion, fur and customer service. I am now busy looking for more projects for her to facilitate my newfound love of luxurious and glamorous fur. Highly recommended.”
Karina
“I was so pleased to make contact with Ninx Flanagan and learn about her amazing skills with fur coats. Thanks to her I now have a beautiful mink gilet that had started life as a very outdated shaped fur coat and was taking up too much room in my cupboard but could not throw away. So, I am delighted with what Ninx has turned it into. She is very accommodating by finding a time that suits you and gives such helpful advice.”
Bronny
“I was delighted to find Ninx whose expertise with all things fur I did not know existed and was desperate to have some of my old coats re modelled, refitted and reconditioned. She also remodelled a collar and neckline for me and introduced velvet onto the fur so that it was easier to wear and much more useful. She is reliable, honest, good value and a pleasure to work with. I loved everything she did for me and can highly recommend her.”
Andi
"I’m delighted with the ideas that Ninx came up with to update a mink jacket and also she just added a few extra touches to another not so precious fur coat to make it infinitely more wearable. I told her what I anticipated spending and the work was done within budget and also her efficiency and practicality throughout the jobs in hand made me realise just how good she is. I was thrilled with the end result and would have no hesitation in recommending her."
Marion
“Ninx has done a brilliant job on my Grandmothers squirrel coat. I have had it in the wardrobe for years not knowing what to do with it, it now has a new lease of life and I love wearing it. Ninx changed it from an old fashioned coat which I would never wear to a gilet. She was a joy to go and see, discuss ideas and a budget.”
Nancy
“My mother's three-quarter length fur coat has been in my wardrobe for 12 years - and then I found Ninx! A friendly consultation took place where Ninx went through various ideas and suggestions. Her knowledge of fur and her flair for style made me feel very comfortable and I felt safe that I was entrusting my mother's coat into safe hands. Ninx has completely transformed the coat keeping the original neckline which is gorgeous, re-modelled the sleeves and turned it into a hip length jacket. It looks stunning and I am so delighted; making into an everyday jacket was just the right idea. The remaining fur was then made into several head bands, lined with velvet (which my daughters have benefited from), and a long ruched scarf. All in all a huge success and I have no hesitation in recommending Ninx and her talent.”
