Blackglama mink coat
Blackglama is an American brand that produces mink fur clothing of one strictly defined type. Blackglama fur is difficult to confuse with any other: the products from it look great and, besides, they are incredibly warm.
Peculiarities
As you know, there are several types of mink: Russian, polar, European, Canadian, American. Each has its own characteristics.
The American Blackglama mink, supplied to the production of fur garments from the American Legend auction, is a unique and very rare species.
She has a characteristic matte appearance, the fur is very delicate to the touch, reminiscent of plush or velvet, and the most characteristic feature is a deep luxurious black color. The undercoat of this black mink is unusually thick and dense. Therefore, this is a very warm fur with high wear resistance (due to the low awn equal to the length of the underfur). Such high quality allows the products to withstand repeated dry cleaning and re-cutting.
Blackglama is an exceptionally black mink with its unique play of shades from grayish to light brown. Experts also call this effect the “color of oil”. Such color transitions are absent in dyed mink, they simply cannot be reproduced.
The skin of black mink is extremely elastic and lightweight, which makes it possible to cut a wide variety of styles from it.
If a Blackglama mink coat is decorated with any other fur, then it must certainly be also expensive (chinchilla, sable, expensive types of fox).
Of course, Blackglama mink coats are not cheap, moreover, they are the most expensive mink in the world, so not every woman can afford it. Blackglama is not mass-produced, each model (only about a hundred of them are produced a year) is truly exclusive and unique.
The American Legend fur auction is periodically held in Seattle.The highest quality mink was given a special name there. Each buyer of this exclusive lot receives a corporate label for marking their products.
The Blackglama brand has long been something of a legend. Back in the 60s, Hollywood stars (it's enough to name Barbra Streisand or Brigitte Bardot) posed for the camera in chic fur coats and cloaks, being the standard of style and chic.
Since then, the advertising campaign of this glamorous brand has included 67 famous people of different times.
The fee for the photo session became a peculiar tradition of the trademark - the celebrity left the studio wearing a Blackglama mink coat.
Beautiful models
When sewing products from the noble Blackglama mink fur, minimalism of cut is encouraged, emphasizing the luxury of this "black diamond". This is not the case when looking for an intricate cut.
The most incomparable Blackglama looks in traditional styles of a straight or trapezoidal silhouette, made of solid pieces of fur. A cozy version with a hood looks impressive. Other decorative elements for such a fur coat are superfluous (unless you can emphasize the waist with a belt).
Note that Blackglama has very few fur coats, since chic fur looks most advantageous in whole plates.
How to distinguish a fake from an original?
Unfortunately, the elite Blackglama fur is by far the most fake fur in the world. Black-dyed mink skins, often made in China, are issued for him. There is no doubt that you will also be provided with a certificate for counterfeiting. Therefore, you need to know the different ways to establish the authenticity of the brand.
Blackglama manufacturers are extremely sensitive about the protection of their goods. Therefore, each item of this trademark has a passport and a corporate label, which is sewn on the wrong side of the item. The label always contains the serial number of the fur coat, which can be checked on the official Blackglama website.
If you see a record that a product with this number has already been released earlier, then there is a high probability that you bought an old or altered model, albeit made from genuine skins.
From the inside out on the tag, three stripes should be stitched - red, yellow and blue, and it is in this sequence.
Finally, the most effective method to detect a counterfeit is the holographic label, it will overflow. If you place the label under an ultraviolet lamp (and the seller must provide it to you), then the words Blackglama will appear on it, filling the entire surface.
As mentioned earlier, the skins for these mink coats are purchased only from the American Legend auction, so you will see these markings on the inside of the fur under the lining.
When buying a fur coat positioned as Blackglama, you need to carefully examine the fur. Make sure of the naturalness of its color, catching the play of tones. Spread the fur: Blackglama's extremely thick underfur will barely allow you to see the flesh. The guard hair, as you know, should be short, no more than 5 millimeters long. Stroke the fur, feel its plush softness.
