Mole fur coat
Today the variety of fur products on the market is simply amazing. But still, many women of fashion are accustomed to giving preference to more classic options - sable, mink or chinchilla. Meanwhile, in the production of fur products, more interesting materials are also used - for example, mole fur.
Peculiarities
Mole skins are distinguished by their smooth, shiny and beautiful fur. It also has a beautiful and natural black color. But such skins are not easy to find because of the molt that occurs in moles almost all year round. Therefore, it is preferable to use skins of animals caught between October and November.
The fur of this animal has been used in production since the last century. The main reason is due to the fact that the skin of this animal is very durable. Often the fur of a mole is tinted, because the natural color of the skin is rarely beautiful.
If we talk about thermal qualities, then the fur of a mole is referred to as cold. Also, if you compare a mole fur coat with a sable fur coat, then you carry the product from the second option several times longer. The fur of a mole gets very dirty and is not easy to clean. Not every dry cleaner will provide you with the service of cleaning a fur coat from a mole.
Nevertheless, such a product is popular. Mole fur is solid and expensive. People who know about furs buy such products; one can call them “fur gourmets”.
A mole fur coat is expensive, mainly because the raw material is very difficult to work with. But at the same time, the demand for it does not fall, because people are often looking for something unusual and exclusive.
Models
Despite the fact that it is very difficult to sew a fur coat from a mole, their variety on the market of goods is huge.
Here you can find:
- a classic cross-cut fur coat;
- short autolady;
- model with a hood;
- with three-quarter sleeves.
Of course, due to the length, the price varies greatly. And not every fashionista can afford to buy a long fur coat made of mole fur.
You can often find a cross-cut mole fur coat, and this is understandable. Because the skin of this animal is very small, then it will be very problematic to sew a whole product out of it.
But the cross-section fur coat will be just sewn not from a single piece of fabric, but from individual skins. Thus, a product with even horizontal stripes is obtained.
Also, from the skins of moles, they sew not only fur coats, but also jackets, vests and hats. Because the fur of the animal is quite cold, but very velvety and soft, it is often used for the manufacture of collars.
Color solutions
Most often, a product made from a mole fur coat has a coal black color. And this is understandable, it corresponds to the natural color of the skin, but most likely it is paint. As already mentioned, due to molting, mole skins rarely have a presentable appearance.
You can find a fur coat made of dark brown and gray mole fur. A fur coat in bright colors is a rarity. Rather, because such a short and shiny pile looks great in classic colors.
How to choose?
- Like any expensive product, a mole fur coat should be purchased in the salon.
- First of all, in order to determine the quality of the product, you should consider it for the presence of bald spots. If there are any, then you can safely leave such a salon.
- It is also worth considering the product for uniformity of fur coloration. If the spots were not specifically conceived as a fur coat design, then most likely the product was tinted incorrectly.
- It is also important to inspect the lining. It should be the color of the fur and not have any foreign smell.
- There must be a label on a quality product from the salon. On which are written: the name of the product and the manufacturer, what kind of fur the product is made of, basic characteristics (color, type of processing, etc.)
What is the price?
If you want to purchase a coat made of mole fur, you must be prepared for big waste. The high cost of such a product is due to the fact that it is very difficult to work with it. It can take about 500 animal skins to make at least one fur coat.
Prices for a fur product made from a mole start at about 250,000 rubles. But for this price, you can only buy the shortest jacket of not the best quality. A decent product can be purchased for about 400,000 rubles.
