Blue mink coat

Among the variety of colors of fur mink coats models of blue mink firmly took the place of the recognized classics of the market. It is blue fur that is appreciated by the creators of fur coats for sophistication, elegant appearance and nobleness. Any woman dressed in a blue mink fur coat elegantly emphasizes her own sense of taste and style.

Most breeds of minks, from whose fur blue coats are sewn, live in the north of the European and American continents. Breeders and breeders have long discovered that genes of different breeds when crossing them with each other give a variety of color mutations. This interesting genetic feature is used by designers who create fur coats of breathtakingly beautiful colors.

Blue mink fur appreciated not only for the unique color, but also for the highest performance. Fur coats sewn from it are distinguished by the highest strength and resistance to even the most severe colds, and fluffy and very thick undercoat adds moisture resistance to the product. At the same time, the fur itself remains smooth, pleasant to the touch, shiny and silky.

The exclusive status of blue mink fur could not but affect the cost of design artwork created from it - such fur coats can cost significantly more than analogues made from fur of other colors. In this case, it is necessary to strictly comply with the storage conditions of fur products, otherwise the owner of the fur coat runs the risk of noticing that her favorite outfit has begun to turn yellow.

Given the characteristic features of the color blue mink, on a light background of fur whose darker stripes running along the back clearly stand out, the creators of fur coats got a great opportunity to freely use the longitudinal cut.This most favorably affects the variety of styles in length - both long, reminiscent of a strict coat native to England or non-fitted models, and shortened fur coats are in fashion.

At the same time, the same color characteristics allow designers to actively exploit both the transverse cut, in which all mink skins are laid horizontally, and mixed. In this case, only a part of the surface of the fur coat is formed across. As a rule, this is either the top to the waist, or vice versa - along the bottom of the hem. There are also experimental models in which the transverse cut is used in the form of side inserts.

Despite all the variety of blue mink color variations, designers tend to divide all these shades into six basic categories:

• Sapphire. The classic color for fur from Scandinavia, it happens in both light and dark colors, there are also middle options between them.

• Silver blue. Basically, such fur is obtained in Finland and Russia. It is distinguished by a rather large size of skins of silver-blue hue with light gray echoes. An independent subspecies of “silver blue” is considered to be “crushed ice” - it is characterized by a clarified underflow with an iridescent smoky hue.

• Blue ice. The fur of this type is distinguished by a dark gray top and a dense down-coat of blue color.

• Blue iris. Such furs are obtained from Aleut minks. In many ways, it looks like a “sapphire”, which is why it is also known as a “steel sapphire”. It is characterized by an ash-grayish or silver-steel shade.

• Topaz (aka violet). The lightest variety of blue fur, specially bred by Finnish geneticists.

• Crossing. It is characterized by dark specks in the form of a sacrum on a pale blue background. Alternative names: sapphire cross or iris cross.

Stylists have long noticed that coats made of blue mink fur are more suitable for brunettes and brown-haired women than for white-skinned owners of blonde shade. In the latter, the complexion tends to visually merge with the fur of some breeds, so blondes should be approached with extreme caution when choosing a blue fur coat.

Truly high-quality blue mink fur has a natural azure hue without the slightest sign of yellowness. The latter may appear on a fur coat that has been hanging in the storehouse for several months or stored in violation of the prescribed conditions. You also need to check the quality of the skins: the fur should easily crumple and straighten back.

Customers who buy blue mink coats for the first time are advised to follow the same rules as when choosing mink coats of other colors - be sure to look under the lining to visually assess the size of the skins from which it is sewn and the quality of the seams.

When choosing a fur coat style, each woman has her own preferences and priorities. The only model that is not particularly praised in the performance of blue mink fur is auto-ice. This style is considered too mundane and utilitarian, as a result of which more practical types of fur are used for sewing fur coats of this model: the noble blue mink fur quickly gets dirty.

The shortened coat of gray-blue fur with a hood is gracefully complemented by a leather belt without a buckle, which is tied with a deliberately careless knot. Cross-cut perfectly combines with wide sleeves and becomes the basis of the image, appropriate both for a romantic walk under the moonlight, and in the office.

The color scheme of a fur coat catches your eye from the first second. A neat silhouette, sufficient to wear this model even in the most severe frost, the length and elegant clasp under a spectacular collar - to go unnoticed by a girl dressed in such a fur coat will definitely not work.

The model is sewn of fur of the darkest variety of mink cross. The bottom row of skins is sewn so as to form an edge in the form of a kind of shuttlecock, emphasizing the harmony of female legs. The hood favorably sets off the complexion and protects the owner of the coat even from gusts of wind.
