Llama fur coat
Recently, the range of fur coats on the market has been amazing. You will not surprise anyone with an ordinary product made of mink or arctic fox, because you can pick up a more exotic option, for example, a fur coat made of llama wool. In a few minutes you will find out why you should pay attention to this interesting type of fur.
Features and Benefits
A llama fur coat is very similar in appearance to a sheepskin coat, but its wool is much thicker and softer, and the villi are longer. Not every girl dares to buy such outerwear, because, unfortunately, in our country, a llama fur coat is still considered an exotic product. But if you are thinking about buying just such a fur coat, then it will be useful to read about some of its features:
- The most important advantage of llama fur is its practicality. You carry such a fur coat for 6 or even 7 seasons, while not worrying too much about caring for it. With a careful attitude to the product, you don't have to do anything at all! All that such a coat needs is a brush, a spray bottle and dry cleaning, as a last resort. For comparison: a mink fur coat requires constant care in the form of a special storage condition, ventilation, protection from moths, etc.
- A product made of llama wool is not afraid of moisture! On the contrary, the villi of the fur coat twist into cute spirals, which makes the fur coat even more interesting. You can walk in the rain and play snowballs with children, and your fur coat will be completely empty. Can you imagine this with a fur coat made of the same mink?
- Llama fur is considered to be quite warm and pleasant to the touch.In addition, scientists have proven that it affects the psychosomatic state of the owner, reduces blood pressure and improves mood! Also, such fur is considered hypoallergenic, so women of fashion who refuse other fur products because of allergies often buy it.
- Llamas are not grown in our country, but despite this, fur coats made from such fur are inexpensive and affordable for every Russian woman.
- Such a coat, although considered warm, is not suitable for severe frosts. Here she is inferior to the same sheepskin or mink. But at the same time, it will be quite comfortable in temperatures up to -10.
Models
Despite the fact that llama fur coats are quite voluminous, designers still manage to create new styles of such fur coats. Although there is enough unusualness in such a product. But still, there are certain and most popular models of llama fur coats:
- Classic model. These garments are straight cut, short (mostly down to the knees) and with a large emphasis on the chest or shoulders. This option also looks beautiful with a three-quarter sleeve.
- Fur coat-vest. Such a model, as a rule, has the same straight cut and length just above the knee, but a very shortened sleeve. Of course, such a model is not suitable for wearing in winter at all, but in the autumn period it will add originality and warmth to your image.
- Combined model. Since llama wool is quite voluminous and not the warmest, designers prefer to combine it with other types of natural products. For example, with bulky muton and rabbit fur, as well as suede or rabbit. With this approach, a product with a beautiful fur structure is obtained. Also, in addition to fur coats, llama wool is often used in the decoration of sheepskin coats, jackets or belts.
- With a hood. Such options for a llama fur coat are rare, but present. And they are explained by the practicality of such a product. Llama wool does not deteriorate from moisture, so it is quite easy to use a hood instead of an umbrella in an emergency. Or just protect your head from the cold and wind.
Fur types
There are two types of fur for making fur coats. This is the classic version (with long hairs from the fur of the Tibetan llama) and shorn. Let us dwell on the second in more detail.
Many fashionistas wonder how designers make such neat products from llama wool? It's simple: the material is sheared. After processing, the wool of the llama becomes smooth, neat and velvety. Many people like this neatness of the product, but you need to remember that after this procedure, the fur coat loses its warmth. And now you can only wear it in warm or cool weather for special occasions.
Colour
In the color palette, llama fur coats have no equal. Even if you remove all kinds of paint options and leave only natural colors, the range of shades will remain huge. The whole palette from white to black belongs to natural colors of wool. Including brown and all kinds of shades of gray. They can be of any saturation and texture. Sometimes there are monochromatic villi, and sometimes spotty with a golden tint.
But despite the huge number of colors in the natural palette of llama wool, women of fashion choose dyed models of such fur coats season after season. And this is justified. Llama wool tolerates toning well and can become absolutely any color. Pink to blue. And also beautifully on this fur coat looks such a trendy gradient this season. Graceful overflows from light to dark and vice versa - all this can be found on various models of llama fur coats.
How to choose?
So, the first thing when buying you need to decide whether you will wear a fur coat every day or it will be an outfit for going out. It is better to leave a fur coat made of a sheared llama until an interesting date, but a wool product without processing is perfect for everyday wear, but not in severe frost.
Products made of artificial llama wool cost quite a penny, but they will last no longer than a season.If you decide to buy a high-quality and natural llama fur coat, then you need to know the rules so as not to accidentally buy a fake or a low-quality product.
- Buying a fur product from your hands is fraught with unreasonable expenses, so it is better to contact a specialized store with a good reputation. There you can ask for certificates of quality and conformity of the goods.
- Inspect the labels on the fur garment. The fur coat should have the following data row: article; Name; type of fur and color indication; fur coat size; price.
- Any fur product has a subcutaneous part of the skin. According to her condition, a lot can be said, and first of all about the quality of the fur coat. For a llama product, two criteria will be enough - elasticity and thickness. If the subcutaneous part of the skin is stretched, then the coat will not warm up as needed. The same applies to thickness. If the reverse side of the fur coat is very thin, then in winter you will freeze 100%.
- When choosing a fur coat made of llama wool, be sure to pay attention to the distance between the pile. The larger it is, the poorer the product is made and the colder it will be in bad weather.
Basically, these rules should be enough for choosing a good llama fur coat. But there is one more thing - and it concerns your appearance more. Despite the fact that such fur products are now at their peak of popularity and are much cheaper, be sure to try on a fur coat to suit your style and body type. Such a voluminous thing is not suitable for everyone.
What is the price?
In this article, it has already been mentioned more than once that a llama fur coat is not the most expensive fur product. But I want to say that it all depends on the store where you want to buy your clothes.
The cheapest options will be on the market or in stores representing mass brands, but you must understand that such fur coats hardly have anything in common with a llama. A product in such a store can cost up to 10,000 rubles.
If you decide to purchase a llama fur coat from designers "haute couture" or "ready-to-wear de luxe" (Chanel, Dior, Gucci), then you should also understand that even if the most ordinary llama wool is used, you are exorbitant. pay for the brand and design. A llama fur coat from eminent designers will cost you 300-400 thousand on average.
The most acceptable option for buying fur coats will be at factory stores, where the price at least approximately corresponds to the quality of the goods offered. On average, such a fur coat will cost you 20 thousand rubles and more.
Reviews
On the Internet, you can find various reviews about a llama fur coat. But you must understand that each of these girls bought this product in different stores, so talking about quality, according to reviews on the Internet, is pointless here.
But a positive trend can be noted in the reviews of buyers of such fur coats. Most consider this version of clothing to be very stylish, and some also consider it warm (probably, residents of the southern part of Russia). “Ooooooo gorgeous !!! I love llama fur coats. I have a gray one. Insanely warm and stylish thing. The only thing you need to comb it is to be so airy. But it doesn't take long. "
What to wear with?
In principle, with the correct selection of style elements, such a fur coat can be combined with anything, especially in the coming season. But stylists still recommend staying on tight trousers and similar silhouettes. From shoes, boots with small wide heels or boots made of matte leather are perfect. You can also wear a skirt with such a fur coat, but here you should already be careful. This combination is not suitable for everyone and can weigh down the image.
Spectacular images
The most top-of-the-line looks of the last season are the “combination of the incompatible”. And a llama fur coat fits perfectly into this style, if you combine it with tight trousers and sneakers or with a voluminous long skirt and grunge style boots. You can wear it with the same skinny pants, rocker boots and complement the look with a hat.
A llama fur coat is a huge field for experimenting with your own style. One has only not to blindly follow trends and advice, but be sure to try everything on and evaluate how it looks on you and whether it suits your image. And then you will definitely look stylish.
