David Green Master Furrier, Anchorage

David Green Master Furrier in Anchorage is a celebrated family-run business and a cornerstone of the Alaskan fur industry, marking over a century of tradition. Established in 1922 by David Green, a European immigrant born into a family of Master Furrier craftsmen, this iconic institution reflects the adventurous spirit that brought its founder to Alaska after reading Call of the Wild. Starting his trade by crafting garments from customers' pelts, David built his business through skill and dedication, even sustaining it during the Great Depression and expanding through military contracts during WWII.

Anchoring operations in Anchorage post-war, David Green Master Furrier became a symbol of local craftsmanship, with its 4th Avenue showroom becoming a beloved landmark. The store's famed photo wall captures visits from notable figures, including celebrities, military leaders, and even the Pope.

Following David's passing in 1971, his sons Jerry and Perry took over, bringing the business into a new era of growth and branding with their famously “corny” commercials and the memorable slogan: "If you don’t know furs, know your furrier.” As the family expanded, so did the product line. David Green's grandchildren, including namesake David and his wife Shani—an alumna of the Fashion Institute of Technology—have introduced innovative styles and vibrant colors to appeal to modern tastes, pushing the business to new heights.

Today, David Green Master Furrier continues to merge traditional fur craftsmanship with contemporary fashion, proudly serving locals and visitors alike with a rich legacy of quality and expertise.
