Blackglama fur coat

Even someone who is very far from fur fashion, at least once heard the word BLACKGLAMA. Often spoken quite slurredly, it gives rise to a number of funny guesses about its meaning. Just a few years ago, the prevailing opinion was that this is the name of the company, which translates as black glamor or even black llama. Sometimes you hear the version that a particular mink breed is called that. But everyone agrees that the BLACKGLAMA fur coat is a very expensive and prestigious thing.

The very word means: black - black, GLaMA - well-adjusted abbreviation of the American mink breeder Great Lakes Mink Association (Mink Association of Great Lakes), consonant with glam - short for "charming, spectacular."

The wide popularity of BLACKGLAMA fur coats is a striking example of an unusually effective advertising campaign, launched by order of GLMA in the sixties of the last century and successfully continuing to this day, which combined simplicity and incredible stylishness of a solution - black and white series of celebrity photos (even without specifying names) in black mink fur products, accompanied by the slogan “What Becomes a Legend Most?”, which translates differently - What suits the legend best? or, a better option - What will become a greater legend?

The highest quality of BLACKGLAMA fur products, serial numbers of each of them, a powerful and successful advertising campaign, which resulted in a fairly quickly formed association with high status and luxury, are the components of demand and at the same time elitism of fur coats of this brand.

Quite paradoxical is the fact that the main advantage of BLACKGLAMA fur products, which is the exclusivity of the fur itself, is often a stumbling block when choosing a fur coat model - because the fur of this brand is really so beautiful in itself that sometimes a simple cut seems to be the most successful option, because in this case, nothing distracts from the unique texture of the product.

However, the design solutions of BLACKGLAMA fur coats are noteworthy, they are so interesting and attractive.

Models can be divided into several parameters:

By the location of the skins when cutting a fur product:

• fur coats with a longitudinal (vertical) arrangement of skins - a standard option, if the word "standard" is applicable to BLACKGLAMA;
• fur coats, that is, fur coats with a horizontal cut - the cost of such fur coats is slightly higher than for products with a vertical arrangement of skins.

By cut:

• fur coats of direct cut - an eternal classic, elegance elevated to a degree of superiority;
• coats with a fitted silhouette - for women seeking to emphasize the figure even in outerwear.

By lenght:

• short - from very short, sometimes ending right under the chest, and length to the middle of the thigh;
• medium length - to the knee;
• long - to the ankles or to the floor.

By style:

• fur coat-jacket - a loose short fur coat up to the middle of the thigh or slightly higher;
• fur coat-jacket - a shorter version of a short fur coat tailored to the figure;
• fur coat-cardigan - most often, a straight-cut product of medium length without a collar;
• fur coat dress - a rare style that does not carry a utilitarian load, but is distinguished by its spectacular effect;
• fur coat - as a rule, a fur coat of a straight style, long or medium length, with a belt;
• Cocoon - a kind of replica of the styles of the 60s;
• manto - a fur coat with wide sleeves, without a through fastener, one of the options for emphasized luxury, worn mainly for an evening out;
• fur coat-cape - one of the most magnificent models of unconventional cut, with slots for hands, successfully competing with classics in terms of elegance;
• Swinger is a model of a long and rather wide coat of trapezoidal cut.

By type of collar:

• turndown;
• English;
• rack;
• apache;
• Schalke
• without collar;
• with a hood.

According to the sleeve style:

• long straight, expanding downward or on the cuff;
• shortened options - 7/8 or 3/4, requiring additional accessories in the form of long leather or suede gloves;
• sleeveless with a lowered shoulder line - in fact, vests that are currently at the peak of fashion.

By type of finish:

• without decoration - the most common option;
• decorated with other types of fur - for example, a luxurious version of the BLACKGLAMA fur coat with a hood, collar or cuffs made of lynx, sable, chinchilla or mink fur of a different color;
• with trim from other natural materials - for example, with inserts of python skin in the sleeves and in the hem of the fur coat;
• double-sided fur coats - one side is made of BLACKGLAMA skins, the second is made of mink in contrasting colors, for example, white.

As already mentioned, BLACKGLAMA is a trademark of mink skins that are sold at a fur auction in the United States, the main buyers of which are manufacturers of fur products from Japan, Korea, China, Greece and Italy. That is why you should not be guided by the widespread and contemptuous, but illiterate opinion about "Chinese or Turkish blackglam", you should first check the serial number of the fur coat and its external parameters, it may well be real.

One of the famous Greek brands producing BLACKGLAMA mink coats is “CHRISOS FURS”, “Artisti Elena”, “ESTEL FURS”, Italian manufacturers - “Alessandro Bosso”, “Tritone furs”, “Due Fratelli” and “O'Merinos” , whose production is located in China, the Russian fur factories Kalyaev and ELENA FURS.

One of the inevitable satellites of exclusivity is always a high price. The BLACKGLAMA fur fully justifies this statement, being the most expensive mink fur in the world. The consequence of this is the frequent fakes of products of this brand, which I would very much like to avoid when buying this status, prestigious and just very beautiful and expensive thing.

The label is sewn on two narrow sides and on the wrong side has three stitched stripes, red, yellow, blue. In the company salon you may be asked to check the holography of the label in the light of a UV lamp. The real label is white and BLACKGLAMA is written in black letters, but in the ultraviolet, such blue labels will fill the entire space of the label. You can check the fur coat serial number on the VERIFY LABEL website.

However, if you still buy a fur coat outside the company store, even the presence of the above attributes cannot guarantee the authenticity of the products - today unscrupulous manufacturers buy several BLACKGLAMA lots at auction, whose serial numbers supply all their products or remove branded labels from old fur coats .

• When buying a BLACKGLAMA fur coat, remember that the mink of this brand is always only black. Any natural black color of fur has shades in the underfur: from gray to brownish. Mezdra, that is, the leathery part of the fur, remains light. For fakes, that is, for fur coats of dyed black mink, this play of shades is absent, and the mezdra becomes dark, although the craftsmen have recently learned to tint it.
• Fur BLACKGLAMA has a characteristic "plush" texture, due to the very dense underfur and frequent spine, which have almost the same length. Such fur can be described by the common word "full", while it is very soft and silky. The consequence of the density of the fur is another proof of the authenticity of the brand - if you blow on the fur, then the mezra will be practically invisible.
• BLACKGLAMA's ambiguous indicator of authenticity is its high price.

Given the fact that less than a million pieces of BLACKGLAMA skins are sold annually, which is only a small percentage of the total number of minks sold, products of this brand simply cannot be cheap, no matter in which country they are produced.

The fact of exactly where the BLACKGLAMA fur coat is purchased also means a lot.

Owners of exclusive BLACKGLAMA products are divided into two types: lucky ones who do not doubt the authenticity of their fur coats and who doubt but hope for the best. The average review about the BLACKGLAMA fur coat is qualitatively (beauty, durability, good heat-insulating properties, resistance to dry cleaning), prestigious (this thing is evidence of your high status), very expensive (but worth it).

An unusually effective version of a straight fur coat with an English collar and wide cuffs from lynx fur looks great with trousers tucked into high boots with fur trim - chic for every day.

A flared version of a shortened fur coat with a hood, sleeves on a cuff, with a wide belt is a laid-back option for a young girl.

Manto with a large white mink collar - luxurious simplicity, unobtrusively emphasizing the good taste and high position of the hostess.

One of the most popular models of a fur coat, the length of the mid-thigh of the “bat” style, in a wide belt, with a hood, goes well with tight trousers or pencil skirts.

A straight “cross” with a stand-up collar and и sleeve - elegance in a modern style.

Often there is an opinion that BLACKGLAMA should not be worn with jeans, as this greatly simplifies the whole image - the simple style of a mink fur coat with a turn-down collar is emphasized refutes this statement.

And a mini-skirt is perfect for a fur coat-jacket with a small collar-collar, wide sleeves and a leather belt, knotted bow.

Classics of the genre - long, on the floor, BLACKGLAMA with a brown tint still does not descend even from the world catwalks.

The non-standard style fur coat is a fur jacket with a wide collar and an effective fastener on large metal buttons with hinged loops, with leather cuffs on the bottom of the sleeves and the entire product.

For those who need more than BLACKGLAMA - a luxurious chinchilla collar on a long fur coat.

Cape cross-section - an exquisite embodiment of the famous brand slogan "What becomes a legend?

Another cape proving that the elegance of this cut is quite worthy of the BLACKGLAMA level.

Completely uncharacteristic for BLACKGLAMA method of composing a fur fabric, but the result was unusually spectacular - a short fur coat-cardigan, made up of pieces of exclusive fur.

An unpredictable model of a short fur coat-coat with a deep neckline and a lower part, also composed of pieces of fur - an absolute lack of functionality, a living embodiment of sensuality.

Fur coat-bolero from El Macpherson is by no means an everyday option, but a model worthy of attention for an ensemble with an evening dress.
