Mink coat - a piece of clothing that every fashionista has (or is just dreaming of buying). After all, products from fur, especially classic mink, always look luxurious, emphasize the status of their owner. If you don’t want to save a lot of money to buy a fur coat from whole fur, you should consider such an option as a fur coat from mink pieces. Such products look beautiful and stylish, you just need to choose the best option for quality.
Features
In the production of such models of fur coats, fur is used from different parts of the animal’s body: back, abdomen, paws, tail. The thickest, densest fur is on the back. Moreover, products from the fur of males will be better, warmer (it is thicker than that of females, and the skin under the fur is thicker).
Thanks to modern technology, it is possible to perfectly select pieces by color, as well as the direction of the pile and sew them so that visually such a fur coat will be practically indistinguishable from the whole. Nevertheless, the fur coats from the pieces are short-lived, and the seams soon become more noticeable.
There is such a variation of the model from pieces, as a mink coat in dissolution. This is such a cut, in which whole skins are cut into narrow strips (up to 10 cm) diagonally, stretched in a wet form, and then stitched together, forming the style of the product. Some models (for example, in the form of a trapezoid silhouette) can only be sewn in this way.
Unlike whole products, fur coats in a dissolution perfectly fit on the figure, repeating the contours of the body. Pieces of fur can be sewn diagonally (from the inside the finished coat resembles a Christmas tree), horizontal stripes or vertically.
Styles
Designers offer a variety of styles of fur coats from mink pieces. The most popular option is a straight silhouette.Also trending are fur coats with a sleeve to the elbow, fur vests, mantles, and fur coats. Always in fashion models with a hood. As a rule, they are more expensive because they require careful cutting.
The color scheme of such products may also be different. The natural color of the mink is brown in its various shades, black is less common. In addition, fur is grown in all shades of gray, white, peach, blue. By the way, in the white version, the seams are the least visible, and the fur coat looks solid. Extravagant choice - tiger or jaguar color.
Length
Fur coats from mink pieces for the most part are not long, because in this case the hem will quickly become worthless. Floor-length models are more a demonstration of their social status and affluence (successful business women). Universal length for any figure - to the knee. For young girls leading an active lifestyle, a short option will be appropriate.
How much is?
The prices of these products are relatively low compared to the whole mink. This applies especially to fur coats of Chinese manufacturers. It should be borne in mind that high-quality mink remains in the country for its consumers, and low-quality products that are brittle and have low wear resistance are exported from China. Such fur coats, as a rule, are light, slightly warming.
Italian (and more recently - Greek) firms produce better products (using the method of computer selection of pieces), which, accordingly, affects their cost. The price of such a fur coat is approaching the cost of an integral model. By the way, knowledgeable fashionistas come for fur coats directly to shops at fur factories in Italy and Greece. This provides huge savings compared to domestic salons.
Note the domestic manufacturer of fur coats from mink pieces. After all, most European companies buy their raw materials in Russia. Our factories use high-quality fur and learned to sew fashionable models that are not behind European.
It should be noted that the price of a fur coat also depends on the color of the skin. The lowest cost for minks is a natural dark brown color. But white, blue, black and other colors will already cost many times more.
Before deciding to buy such a valuable thing, it is worth comparing prices in different stores, looking for information about discounts and sales.
How to choose?
Before purchasing a fur coat from mink pieces, pay attention to the following points if not only beauty is important to you, but also the quality of the thing. First of all, go shopping only at a specialized salon (only fakes are usually presented on the market).
Carefully inspect the fur: it should be uniform, soft and pleasant to the touch, shimmer in the light. Try to pull back the hairs: if they remain on your fingers, then such a fur coat will soon peel off. The weight of the product also matters: if the coat is too light, then it means that the skins are too stretched in order to save.
Then check the quality of the seams, which is easier to do on the wrong side of the product. In a high-quality fur coat, the seams are even and smooth. In low-quality fakes, threads and knolls often stick out. Make sure that the pieces of fur are not glued, namely stitched (otherwise the seams will creep in the process of wearing and under the influence of wet snow).
Especially strong seams slightly grab the edge of the skin, the consumption of fur, of course, increases, but the quality is higher.
Also pay attention to the lining, it must be durable, carefully stitched (this is important, as many women subsequently sew an additional layer of fabric to insulate the fur coats).
It will not be superfluous to carefully examine the tag and certificate for the fur product. According to Russian laws, a label, like a certificate, must contain certain information: the name of the company, products, information about the fur, lining, size of the product, manufacturer’s contacts, warranty period.Usually, a product care instruction (cleaning methods, etc.) is also attached to the product, otherwise the dry cleaner most likely will not accept it for cleaning. In the cabin, the seller must provide you with a document of conformity of the goods. In general, acquiring such an expensive thing, it is nice to get acquainted with the law on the protection of consumer rights.
