Mink Mittens

Winters and frosts in our country are often very cold. Often the temperature can drop to very low values. And often it turns out that the selection of appropriate outerwear does not correct the situation, because many forget about the selection of warm accessories: mittens or gloves and hats. An excellent solution against low temperatures, extreme cold and bad weather conditions are mink mittens.

This original accessory will not only help keep delicate female hands warm, but will also be an incredibly stylish addition to any look, thanks to the shiny and natural fur.

• Mink is an excellent fur that resists wear and physical damage. If you buy such fur mittens, then you can permanently close the issue of protecting hands from frost and low temperature in the winter season.

• The price of such an accessory will be high, but given its durability, the cost justifies itself. According to experts, with proper care, this element of clothing can serve the owner even for several decades.
• Mink fur is also lightweight and flexible. Therefore, wearing such mittens is very simple and does not cause any discomfort, unlike products with more rigid type of fur.

• Another advantage of mink mittens will be that they look great with any outerwear. They look beautiful and will be a great addition to any outfit. And if you add some accessories from the fur, then any girl will look really impressive and beautiful.

Benefits of this accessory.:

• excellent wear resistance;
• durability;
• ease and practicality;
• good compatibility with any clothes.

If we talk about the types of this element of clothing, then there are two categories that differ in manufacturing technology:

• gloves made from whole mink;
• knitted mink gloves.

Let's talk about each group in more detail.

Models made from a whole mink skin are voluminous and do not fit the hand very well, because in this case it is the whole mink skins that are used, and not what remains from the production of fur coats. Similar products will be significantly more expensive. But they have an important advantage - they are much warmer than knitted counterparts.

If the girl has to be in conditions with a cold climate, then it is better to purchase such gloves. They are made not only in factories, but also single specialists. Usually their color scheme is represented either by the natural color of the mink, or by tinting in a darker or lighter color.

The second category is knitted mink patterns. They are made of yarn, most often acrylic or woolen, on which they simply sew pieces of mink or strips of fur. And then the manufacturing of the product itself begins.

Its advantage is that it sits tightly on the brush, repeating its contours as much as possible. It will be even more elastic and thin, which gives the hand good freedom of movement. And outwardly such mittens look beautiful. Another plus will be that in this case there can be significantly more color solutions, and you can choose an option for almost any outfit.

Recently, another type of knitted mittens has appeared - mitts. These are fingerless gloves that provide freedom of action. At the same time, the palm and hand remain covered, which allows you to keep most of the hands warm.

When buying women's fur mittens, you should be careful, because it’s very simple to purchase low-quality goods today. It is necessary to pay attention to all the features of tailoring, or rather, an accessory made of a whole mink skin or made of fur pieces.

As already mentioned, those that are sewn from scraps are not so durable and keep heat worse. The reason for this is simple - they are made of mink fur, in which there are bald patches and scuffs.

Look at the quality of the seams - they should be even, strong and threads should not stick out of them. Look at the lining and the material from which it is made. It is desirable that it was natural - cotton, silk or wool. This will be especially important for girls with extremely sensitive skin. Natural materials simply will not cause irritation or allergic reactions.

If you decide to make mink mittens yourself, you will need special equipment. It is important to remember that practice and experience are needed in this matter. If you are a beginner, it is best to contact the atelier, where experienced craftsmen already know how to work with such things and can do them quickly and efficiently. Otherwise, you risk only ruining the precious fur.

And the last, but extremely important point - pay attention to the fur. The fact is that fakes are very common now. Often, they try to give out marmot or rabbit fur for natural mink. In the case of the groundhog, everything is simple - just hold it on the mitten against the hair growth. If the fur quickly returns to the opposite position, then you can be sure that it is a mink.

In the case of the rabbit, things are a little more complicated. Both types of fur have a soft and fluffy pile. But differences can still be found, because mink fur is denser, and rabbit fur is rare and does not have a downhole. And one more sign - if the fur was dyed, then it is highly likely that this is a rabbit.

Sometimes, they also try to give out honorik fur, like a mink. This animal is a hybrid of a ferret and European mink, but their furs are different and it is also possible to find the difference. Here, color will play an important role. In mink, the color is homogeneous and does not change, while in honorik it is generally darker and can change.

And another danger that may lie in wait for the buyer - the fur may be artificial. In order not to be deceived, you should examine the mittens from the inside out - artificial fur is always attached on a fabric basis.If you see something like this, then we can say that the mink that is in front of you is most likely artificial. Whether or not to buy such a product is up to you.

Now let’s summarize a bit how to choose long mittens or any other from a mink:

• The fur of this animal will be thick;
• Touch the mittens and trust your feelings. If you feel soft and you can see that the fur after fluffing returns to its original position, then in front of you are mittens from natural mink;

• Look for places where there is no fur or it is very rare - this will help to understand how high-quality the accessory is;
• See if there are different color spots - some manufacturers want to pass off a fake for the original by painting it in a traditional mink color;
• Mink gloves should shine a little.

And be sure to ask the seller for documents on the product, where exactly the basic information about the product you bought will be indicated.

Mink gloves will look great with a hat that will be matched to the tone.

They will be a great addition to a fur coat made of natural fur. But they will blend well with a sheepskin coat, especially if it is decorated with fur.

You can wear a classic coat with such mittens. But in this case, it will be correct for some accessories from fur to be present. For example, a scarf with fur pompons.

It is interesting that such an expensive accessory will fit into the usual urban style. That is, they can also be worn with a jacket and a down jacket. This combination will look bold and at the same time stylish. Mink mittens are great for a date or a regular walk.
