Features
Nutria is an aquatic animal; it lives near water bodies and spends a lot of time in water. This makes her fur resistant to moisture. Therefore, if you get in a fur coat in the rain or snow, then nothing will happen to it.
A nutria fur coat will look as beautiful as before. The nutria fur is thick, very warm, but light and durable. Sheared nutria is very similar to mink in appearance and organoleptic characteristics, only the cost of nutria is several times less. Such characteristics put the fur of this animal in the lead.
It is difficult to talk about the term of wearing coats of nutria. In some cases, such a fur coat can withstand even more than 10 seasons, but it also happens that after 5 years you have to go for a new model. This state of things is explained by the processing of fur, proper care of the fur coat and the regularity of its use.
Fashionable styles and models
Nutria fur is suitable for tailoring any fur coat that a designer can create. The range of models is huge. Some time ago, strips of fur were arranged and sewn in the longitudinal version, but with the appearance of fur coats, similar patterns from nutria began to appear. The fur looks chic, rich and unusual.
In modern collections, there are long models-overcoats, elegant mantles, seductive short fur coats, fashionable capes with various options for the design of sleeves.
Models in which there is drapery are often performed in classic versions or have a slight flare.
Using a belt made of a material different in structure from the main product is a winning solution that is often used by designers to create modern models of outerwear from nutria. For the belt, leather, suede, textiles can be selected.
Nutria goes well with other furs and materials that are different in structure. Therefore, designers are experimenting with might and main, creating fur coats from nutria, which are complemented by arctic fox, silver fox and raccoon. Maintaining uniformity or choosing different colors for each of the used bellows looks equally good. A combination of fur and leather requires special discussion. This is a kind of classic, which is appropriate in any case. Agree that a leather strap and shoes have not prevented a single fur coat.
Length
Long coats of nutria are often decorated with draperies. Such elements do not add weight to the product, but make the models more luxurious and expressive. Fur coats on the floor harmoniously look at respectable ladies of age.
Fur coats that reach the knee are most often created from nutria, since it is these models that break all records in popularity. Indeed, it is such clothing that is convenient to use for everyday wear, to use public transport comfortably and not to freeze during particularly frosty times.
Short models prefer to choose younger women and women who drive a car. Cropped coats of nutria look especially seductive with a sleeve in ¾.
There are no special age limits in choosing the length of a nutria coat, so you can be guided by your personal preferences, rhythm of life and the purpose for which you choose such outerwear.
Oversized for full
Who said that overweight women should not wear a fur coat, especially from such chic fur as nutria. Not every fur can be chosen by full women, but this does not apply to nutria in any way.
Smooth nutria fur does not create excess volume, flows beautifully in silhouette and envelops the body. It is better to choose a dark coat color, medium length or model avtoledi. The most common and successful silhouette when creating large-sized fur coats is the A-style, which looks most advantageously with a midi length.
But it is undesirable to choose fur coats with a hood for full ladies, since such a practical element will make the figure heavier and give it bulkiness.
Types of fur
Initially, nutria was cultivated in Argentina, so this country is considered the historical homeland of such animals. And although many countries have adopted this practice, in Russian stores can be found fur coats from Argentinean fur.
In Russia, there are several industries that are engaged in the cultivation of nutria to produce high-quality fur. Its level is no worse than the Argentinean or any other. Scientists managed to breed nutria breeds, the fur of which initially has a beautiful shade, so there is no need to stain such skins.
Nutria fur must be processed. It can be different, and therefore the fur can take on various features, radically different from each other. The fur of this animal can be sheared or plucked, dyed or processed with a laser.
Pinch nutria is obtained as a result of removal of the remaining hair. With this treatment, the nutria becomes like a mink, and all the benefits are preserved in full, at the original level. Not even all professionals can distinguish between plucked nutria and mink.
But sheared nutria is more like fur of a beaver, while its qualities are striking in its fullness and level. If you run your hand over the sheared fur, you will feel a slight tingling sensation. Such a fur coat will not leak moisture and deteriorate from its effects. In terms of its thermal qualities, sheared nutria is superior to mink and muskrat fur.The remaining core hair, which is the source of tingling, acts as a kind of frame and protection for the undercoat.
Color
In nature, nutria fur has a gray-brown color, which is slightly lighter than beaver fur. But in the assortment of fur coats there are a wide variety of colors: black, white, blue, red, gray, fawn, all kinds of shades of brown.
Next season, a golden shade of nutria risks becoming the most popular along with light colors. Nobody can afford to cancel the classics, therefore white and black colors are still relevant.
How to choose and care?
The nutria fur has some features that are unusual for other furs. Since the animal spends most of its life in the form, its skin is oily and smells of musk. To eliminate these points, manufacturers should use good technology for the manufacture of fur.
In case of technology violation or insufficiently good processing, the fat residues will begin to oxidize, as evidenced by a characteristic unpleasant odor. Therefore, when choosing a fur coat, you need to smell it and study the skin well for the presence of fat. If an unpleasant odor started to come from a fur coat some time after the purchase, then it must be returned to the seller if there is such an opportunity. When choosing a fur coat from nutria, be sure to pay attention to the label. It should say "nutria" or "castorino" on it.
In addition, in the process of choosing a fur coat, you must pay attention to the following points:
- appearance of the fur, its uniformity, healthy shine, lack of brittleness and hair loss;
- uniform texture;
- the quality of staining is easily checked with a damp handkerchief, on which there should not be the slightest trace of paint when conducting it on the fur;
- the skins must be necessarily sewn together, and not glued;
- the lining should be given special attention, having studied not only the strength of the material, but also the absence of the lower seam.
Any fur requires careful handling, storage rules and careful handling. Only in this case can we hope for a long service life of the fur. After a walk in the rain or snow, the fur coat should dry well. To do this, it will need to be hung on wide shoulders and wait for the fur to completely dry. If more serious contaminants, such as adhering dirt, are found, you will need to remove it with a light brush with a soft brush.
After each season, the fur coat should go to a dry cleaner that you trust. For the summer period, the fur coat will need to be packed in a natural case and removed away from the sun.
How much is?
This fur is not expensive, but it cannot be called the cheapest either. A nutria fur coat will definitely cost less than a mink, but more expensive than a rabbit. The price can start from 20 thousand rubles and reach up to 40 thousand rubles. It all depends on the length of the fur coat, style, type of processing of the fur and its variety.
Reviews
Finding a negative or negative review about a nutria coat that was correctly selected, carefully worn, and properly stored is not an easy task. Basically, all the owners of such fur clothes are satisfied with all the characteristics and also choose nutria as their next fur coat. Studying the reviews will once again make sure that the nutria really warms perfectly, is worn for a long time, does not deteriorate from moisture and is a real decoration for a woman.
What to wear?
A fur coat does not tolerate wrong neighbors next to it, so since you have become the owner of a fur coat, especially from fur such as nutria, it is advisable to know the rules for combining it with other clothes. The process of image formation is mainly based on the length of the fur coat. For various options, you can choose trousers, a skirt, and even jeans, but with one fur coat all these things can not be combined.
If the future look should be youthful, be a bit windy and stylish, then the basis should be a short fur coat made of nutria, which will be complemented by a blouse and jeans (dark, without holes, excessive scuffs, fitted style and without excessive decor). If you want to create a more extravagant look, then the same short fur coat can be taken as the basis, but leather trousers of a fitted style, leather shoes / boots will be matched to it. In this case, it is advisable to supplement the fur coat with a leather strap. Such options for creating images can take note of the owner of short autolyady fur coats.
Under a fur coat from nutria to the floor, which is supplemented with a hood, trousers, dresses or skirts must be worn. Any of these elements should not be visible under the hem.
If your fur coat ends at the knee level, then you can safely choose mini skirts, tight trousers / jeans, complementing any of these looks with a blouse.
Definitely need to forget about sports shoes / clothing. Although examples of such a combination can be found on the Internet and some of them look decent, you should not experiment, moreover, for such more athletic looks there is a large selection of jackets and down jackets. Let the fur coat remain for elegant looks.
The bag should be chosen with great care. Firstly, it should match the shoes in color and material. Secondly, the bag should be designed to be worn in the hand. Not on the shoulder or bent arm so that the fur is not wiped. Also in one tandem with shoes should be gloves. If the shoes are made of leather, then the gloves should also be leather.
The choice of caps is not as great as we would like. We confidently discard knitted patterns, simple, shapeless and sporty hats that should be worn with completely different clothes. An ideal option is a fur coat with a hood. But if your model does not have such a bonus, then you can safely choose a fur hat of a different shade.
Stylish looks
It seems to be an ordinary model with a standard length, straight, with a hood, a long sleeve, but something here has a bewitching and catchy look.
Firstly, the nutria fur was so successfully processed that even it became unlike itself. Neither at first sight, nor after probing, it will be possible to say unequivocally that this fur coat is made of nutria, and not of some other, more expensive and rare fur.
Secondly, color. Brown shades, which only slightly differ from each other, are arranged in vertical stripes without clear transitions. All this beauty is set off by a leather belt, which in this case is not chosen in the most successful way. It looks like a shiny spot on a laconic coat and does not fit suede shoes at all.
And here is one of the images that can be created on the basis of a light cross from nutria. Such an image is more urban in nature and can be considered as everyday. Everything here is fine except for the scarf. This element will obviously be superfluous here, especially since why cover such a chic stand-up collar on a fur coat? But the hat would not hurt. It should be clearly fur, simple and preferably beige, which will differ from the fur coat.
