Yesterday, we brought you news of a Fish and Wildlife raid at Decades of Fashion. Today, SFGate brings word from Cecily Hansen, the owner of the vintage store, who says she was "flabbergasted" that the California Department of Fish and Wildlife closed her shop and seized merchandise. 

The wildlife wardens “went downstairs to my personal closet and took all my grandmother’s collection of leopard collars,” said Hansen. “They took my mother’s clothes that I had inherited. It was my closet. The clothes were there only because I am in the middle of building a house in Petaluma.”

State inspectors apparently took away enough clothes and accessories to make a six-page itemized list. Officer Hughan told us yesterday that the raid yielded "dozens of coats, shoes, boots, belts, jewelry and other items."

Hansen told SFGate she thought that if fur clothing was already in circulation, it was not subject to regulation. “I just feel that this is about recycling and honoring.”
