Mink fur coat
A mink coat is a wardrobe item that every fashionista has (or just wants to buy). After all, fur products, especially classic mink, always look luxurious and emphasize the status of their owner. If you do not want to save money for a long time to buy a fur coat made of whole fur, you should consider such an option as a fur coat made from pieces of mink. Such products look beautiful and stylish, you just need to choose the option that is optimal in terms of quality.
Peculiarities
In the production of such models of fur coats, fur from different parts of the animal's body is used: back, abdomen, paws, tail. The thickest, densest fur is on the back. Moreover, products made from fur of males will be of higher quality, warmer (it is thicker than that of females, and the skin under the fur is thicker).
Thanks to modern technologies, it is possible to ideally select pieces by color, as well as the direction of the pile and sew them so that visually such a coat will be practically indistinguishable from a solid one. But nevertheless, fur coats made of pieces are short-lived, and the seams soon become more noticeable.
There is such a kind of model from pieces as a mink fur coat in dissolution. This is a kind of cutting in which whole skins are cut into narrow strips (up to 10 cm) diagonally, stretched wet, and then sewn together to form the style of the product. Some models (for example, in the form of a trapezoid silhouette) can only be sewn in this way.
Unlike one-piece products, loose fur coats fit perfectly on the figure, following the contours of the body. Pieces of fur can be sewn diagonally (from the inside out, the finished fur coat resembles a herringbone), horizontal stripes or vertically.
Styles
Designers offer a variety of styles of mink fur coats. The most popular option is a straight silhouette.Also in the trend are sheepskin coats with a sleeve to the elbow, fur vests, coats, fur coats-raspletayki. Models with a hood are always in fashion. They tend to be more expensive because they require careful cutting.
The color scheme of such products can also be different. The natural color of mink is brown in its various shades, black is less common. In addition, fur is dyed in all shades of gray, white, peach, blue. By the way, in the white version, the seams are the least noticeable, and the fur coat looks solid. Extravagant choice - brindle or jaguar color.
Length
For the most part, fur coats made from pieces of mink are not long, since in this case the hem will quickly become unusable. Floor-length models are more likely a demonstration of their social status and wealth (successful business women). Universal length for any shape - up to the knee. For young girls leading an active lifestyle, a short version will be appropriate.
What is the price?
The prices of these products are relatively low in comparison with the whole mink. This is especially true for the fur coats of Chinese manufacturers. It should be borne in mind that high-quality mink remains in the country for its consumers, and products of low quality, fragile and low wear resistance are exported from China. Such fur coats are usually light, slightly heating.
Italian (and, more recently, Greek) firms produce better quality products (by computer selection of pieces), which, accordingly, is reflected in their cost. The price of such a fur coat is close to the cost of a one-piece model. By the way, knowledgeable women of fashion come for fur coats directly to shops at fur factories in Italy and Greece. This provides huge savings compared to domestic salons.
We also note the domestic manufacturer of mink fur coats. After all, most European companies buy their raw materials from Russia. Our factories use high-quality fur and have learned to sew fashionable models that keep up with European ones.
It should be noted that the price of a fur coat also depends on the color of the skin. Natural dark brown minks have the lowest cost. But white, blue, black and other colors will already cost several times more.
Before deciding to buy such a valuable item, it is worth comparing prices in different salons, looking for information about discounts and sales.
How to choose?
Before purchasing a fur coat made from pieces of mink, pay attention to the following points if not only beauty is important to you, but also the quality of the thing. First of all, go shopping only in a specialized salon (as a rule, only fakes are presented on the market).
Examine the fur carefully: it should be uniform, soft and pleasant to the touch, shimmer in the light. Try to pull off the hairs: if they remain on your fingers, then such a fur coat will soon peel off. The weight of the product also matters: if the coat is too light, it means that the skins have been stretched too much in order to save money.
Then check the quality of the seams, which is easier to do on the wrong side of the product. A high-quality fur coat has smooth and even seams. In low-quality fakes, threads and bumps often stick out. Make sure that the pieces of fur are not glued, but stitched (otherwise the seams will creep away during wear and under the influence of wet snow).
In especially strong seams, the edge of the skin is slightly captured, the consumption of fur, of course, increases, but the quality is also higher.
Also pay attention to the lining, it must be strong, neatly stitched (this is important, since many women subsequently sew an additional layer of fabric to warm their fur coats).
It will not be superfluous to carefully study the label and the certificate for the fur product. According to Russian laws, the label, like the certificate, must contain certain information: the name of the company, the product, information about the fur, the lining, the size of the product, the manufacturer's contacts, the warranty period.Usually, the product is also accompanied by a memo on the care of the thing (cleaning methods, etc.), otherwise the dry cleaner will most likely not accept it for cleaning. In the salon, the seller is obliged to provide you with a document of conformity of the goods. In general, when purchasing such an expensive item, it is good to familiarize yourself with the law on the protection of consumer rights.
Reviews
If you listen to customer reviews, a mink coat made of pieces has its pros and cons. Some do not advise choosing such models, arguing that they will not be enough even for a couple of seasons. In addition, it is almost impossible to alter them and you need to be very careful when cleaning.
Supporters of such fur coats appreciate their beauty, versatility, a tight-fitting silhouette that conceals figure flaws, which is especially important for large and plump ladies to whom this thing gives elegance. And the quality of the product, according to women, already depends on the conscientiousness of the manufacturer. Fur coats made from pieces of good quality do not lag behind solid models in terms of their parameters. Especially fashionistas praise Italian models in dissolution, in which you can go for several years.
Stylish looks
A universal version of a fur coat for every day. The midi length, suitable for women of any body size, makes the silhouette more slender.

The neck of the product is framed by a cozy collar fastened with a large button, and the belt accentuates the waist. Complement your fur coat with black suede heeled boots.
Spectacular model for the girl who likes to stand out from the crowd.
