Fur coats "under the mink"

A mink coat in the closet is the main proof of the material viability of a modern woman. She is her decoration, her status, her main "heater" in severe frosts. But what to do if there is still not enough money for a real mink, but you want to look rich no matter what? Buy a fur coat made of faux fur "under the mink". Outwardly, it is not much different from a natural mink fur coat, but it costs ten times cheaper, and it does not require special care.

In the process of producing mink fur coats, synthetic fibers are used as a basis, consisting of acrylic polymers, hydrocarbon components, limestone, coal and petroleum products. But in order to give the synthetic canvas a more natural look, it is additionally enriched with natural fibers. Usually, viscose is used as a supplement, so the finished product acquires the shine, softness and elasticity characteristic of natural mink. The thermal qualities of such “fur” products are significantly inferior to natural ones, but with high-quality tailoring, they warm quite well.

In addition to the relatively low cost, "artificial mink" has a number of advantages.It is more durable and practical, cannot be attacked by pests and does not wear out as quickly as a natural fur coat.

And the most important advantage of faux fur coats is that for their production it is not necessary to kill animals. Now the importance of preserving nature is spoken about almost on every corner, and by purchasing such a fur coat you cannot accuse yourself of cruelty. And according to external characteristics, an artificial product is very difficult to distinguish from a natural one. Unscrupulous manufacturers often use this, but if you really want to buy a fur coat made of fake fur, there is nothing to be afraid of.

It is also important not to forget that the quality of faux fur can also be different. In order for your “mink” to serve you faithfully for many years, during the purchase process, pay attention to the following characteristics:

1. The fur should be uniform, even and completely soft to the touch. It is better if it is tightly attached to the fabric base.
2. The shine of the fur should be as natural as possible. Uniform overflows and reflections in daylight are the best indicator.
3. The smell of paint from the product should not come. The quality of the paint can be checked by soaking a few lint in water. If there are no traces left on the hand, then the product is of high quality.

But there are a lot of types of fur coats made of faux fur. There are models of fur coats that are passed off as natural mink, and there are those that, in terms of practical characteristics, are only a little like a natural woman.

Eco-fur is an artificial material that, with the help of innovative technologies, is as close as possible to natural. It has the same softness, luster and texture, but most importantly, it is not inferior to natural fur in terms of thermal characteristics and water-repellent properties. Fur coats made of such fur are somewhat more expensive than other artificial analogues, but the cost fully justifies the quality.

Fur coats made of faux fur are inferior to natural ones in thermal properties, but with a good imitation it is difficult to distinguish them from the original ones. Such coats are often complemented with fleece linings to compensate for the lack of thermal properties, so that in the cold season you can feel very comfortable in them.

Such fur coats are often passed off as natural, which is displayed in an unreasonably high cost. You can distinguish a fake from the original only by carefully looking at the product. Faux furs are usually attached to the fabric base, and to hide this, the manufacturer sews the hem of the product. So if you can not look inside the product, refuse to buy.

Under the guise of chic mink furs, the usual rabbit skin is often hidden. Gives such a fake a rarer pile without down and light-colored skin under the fur. If you blow on the product, and under the dyed villi you find a light skin, refuse to buy.

This season, medium-length coats with a hood are especially fashionable. They are necessarily complemented by a belt and often shiny fittings.The sleeves of fur coats are usually long, although there are exceptions.

Especially stylish are fur coat models that combine several shades at once: black and gray, white and black, brown and burgundy - the most trendy combinations.
