Fur coat Blackglama

Even those who are very far from fur fashion have heard the word BLACKGLAMA at least once. Often pronounced rather indistinctly, it generates 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 one hears a version that this is the name of a specific breed of mink. But everyone agrees that a BLACKGLAMA fur coat is a very expensive and prestigious thing.

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

The wide popularity of BLACKGLAMA fur coats is a vivid example of an unusually effective advertising campaign, commissioned by GLMA in the sixties of the last century and continues to this day with success, in which simplicity and incredible style of solution were combined - black and white series of photos of celebrities (even without names) in black mink fur, accompanied by the slogan "What Becomes a Legend Most?" or, better yet, What will become the greater legend?

The highest quality of BLACKGLAMA fur products, the 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 - these are the components of the demand and, at the same time, the elitism of this brand's fur coats.

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 - after all, the fur of this brand is really so beautiful in itself that sometimes a simple cut seems to be the best option, because in this case, nothing distracts from the unique texture of the product.

However, the design decisions of the BLACKGLAMA fur coat models deserve attention, they are so interesting and attractive.

Models can be categorized according to 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" applies to BLACKGLAMA;
• cross-section fur coats, that is, fur coats with a horizontal cut - the cost of such fur coats is slightly higher than that of products with a vertical arrangement of skins.

Fit:

• straight cut fur coats - timeless classics, elegance elevated to the degree of superiority;
• fur coats with a fitted silhouette - for women who want to emphasize their figure, even in outerwear.

By lenght:

• short - from very short, sometimes ending right under the chest, and length to mid-thigh;
• medium length - up to the knee;
• long - to the ankle or to the floor.

By style:

• fur coat-jacket - a loose sheepskin coat up to mid-thigh length or slightly higher;
• coat-jacket - a shorter version of a short fur coat tailored to the figure;
• cardigan fur coat - most often, a product of a straight cut of medium length without a collar;
• a fur coat-dress is a rare style that does not carry a utilitarian load, but is distinguished by its showiness;
• coat-robe - as a rule, a straight-cut fur coat, long or medium length, with a belt;
• cocoon - a kind of replica on the styles of the 60s;
• manteau - 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 the classics in terms of the degree of elegance;
• swinger is a model of a long and rather wide trapezoidal fur coat.

Collar type:

• turndown;
• English;
• rack;
• apache;
• shawl;
• collarless;
• with a hood.

Sleeve style:

• long straight lines, widening downward or on the cuff;
• shortened versions - 7/8 or 3/4, requiring additional accessories in the form of long leather or suede gloves;
• sleeveless with a dropped shoulder line - in fact, vests are currently at the height of fashion.

By type of finish:

• without finishing - the most common option;
• trimmed with other types of fur - for example, the luxurious BLACKGLAMA fur coat with a hood, collar or cuffs made of lynx, sable, chinchilla or other mink fur;
• trimmed with other natural materials - for example, with python skin inserts in the sleeves and in the hem of the fur coat;
• reversible fur coats - one side is made of BLACKGLAMA skins, the other is made of mink in contrasting colors, for example, white.

As already mentioned, BLACKGLAMA is a trademark of mink skins sold at a fur auction in the USA, where the main buyers are fur manufacturers 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.

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

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

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

However, if you still buy a fur coat not in a branded store, then even the presence of the above attributes cannot guarantee the authenticity of the products - today unscrupulous manufacturers buy several lots of BLACKGLAMA at the auction, the serial numbers of which are supplied to all their products or remove branded labels from old fur coats. ...

• When buying a BLACKGLAMA fur coat, remember that this brand's mink is always only black. Any natural black color of fur has shades in the underfur: from gray to brownish. The flesh, that is, the skin part of the fur, remains light. In fakes, that is, in fur coats made of dyed black mink, this play of shades is absent, and the flesh becomes dark, although recently the craftsmen have learned to tint it.
• BLACKGLAMA fur has a characteristic "plush" texture, due to the very dense underfur and frequent awn, which are almost the same length. This fur can be described by the common word "stuffed", while it is very soft and silky. The consequence of the density of the fur is one more proof of the brand's authenticity - if you blow on the fur, then the flesh will practically not be visible.
• A controversial indicator of BLACKGLAMA's authenticity is its high price tag.

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

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

The owners of exclusive BLACKGLAMA products are divided into two types: lucky ones who do not doubt the authenticity of their fur coats and those who doubt, but hope for the best. The average review of a BLACKGLAMA fur coat is of high quality (beauty, durability, good thermal insulation 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 sheepskin coat with an English collar and wide cuffs made of lynx fur looks great with trousers tucked into high boots with fur trim - chic for every day.

A flared version of a cropped fur coat with a hood, sleeves at the cuff, with a wide belt is a casual option for a young girl.

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

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

Straight cut with a stand-up collar and ¾ sleeves - elegance in a modern style.

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

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

The classics of the genre - long, floor-length, BLACKGLAMA with a brown tint still does not leave even the world catwalks.

Fur coat-cross-section of a non-standard cut - a fur jacket with a wide collar and a spectacular fastener on large metal buttons with hinged loops, with leather cuffs along the bottom of the sleeves and the entire product.

For those for whom only BLACKGLAMA is not enough - a luxurious chinchilla collar on a long fur coat.

Cape Cross is a sophisticated embodiment of the famous brand slogan "What's Becoming a Legend?"

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

A completely uncharacteristic method for BLACKGLAMA to compose a fur fabric, but the result is unusually spectacular - a short cardigan coat made up of pieces of exclusive fur.

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

A bolero coat from El MacPherson is by no means an everyday option, but a completely noteworthy model for an ensemble with an evening dress.
