Blackglama fur coat

Even the one who is very far from the fur fashion, at least once heard the word BLACKGLAMA. Often, what is said is rather vague, it gives rise to a series of amusing guesses about its meaning. Just a few years ago, the prevailing opinion was that this is the name of the company, which translates as black glamor or even a black llama. Sometimes it is possible to hear a version that this is the name of a specific breed of mink. But everyone agrees that the BLACKGLAMA fur coat is a very expensive and prestigious thing.

The very word means: black - black, GLaMA - successfully corrected abbreviation of the American mink breeder Great Lakes Mink Association (Great Lakes Mink Association), consonant with glam - an abbreviation for "charming, spectacular."

The wide popularity of BLACKGLAMA fur coats is a vivid example of an unusually effective advertising campaign launched by order of GLMA in the sixties of the last century and continuing to this day with success, in which simplicity and incredible style solutions are combined - black and white series of celebrity photos (even without giving names) in black mink fur products, accompanied by the slogan “What Becomes a Legend Most?”, which translates differently - What is the most suitable legend? or, a better option - What will become a bigger legend?

The highest quality fur products BLACKGLAMA, the serial numbers of each of them, a powerful and successful advertising campaign, which resulted in a fairly quickly established association with high status and luxury - these are the components of demand and at the same time the elitism of the fur coats of this brand.

Quite paradoxical is the fact that the main advantage of BLACKGLAMA fur products, which consists in the exclusivity of the fur itself, is often a stumbling block when choosing a fur coat model - after all, the fur of this brand is really so beautiful in itself that sometimes a simple cut seems to be the most successful option in this case, nothing distracts from the unique texture of the product.

However, the design decisions of the BLACKGLAMA fur coat models are noteworthy, they are so interesting and attractive.

Models can be divided into several parameters:

The location of the skins when cutting fur products:

• fur coats with a longitudinal (vertical) arrangement of skins - the standard version if the word “standard” applies to BLACKGLAMA;
• fur coats transverse, that is, fur coats with a horizontal cut - the cost of such fur coats is somewhat higher than that of products with a vertical arrangement of skins.

By cut:

• straight cut fur coats - timeless classics, elegance, raised to the degree of excellence;
• fur coats with fitted silhouette - for women seeking to emphasize the figure, even in outerwear.

By lenght:

• short - from very short, sometimes ending right under the breast, and length to mid-thigh;
• medium length - to the knee;
• long - to the ankle or to the floor.

By style:

• fur coat-jacket - a free coat of length to mid-thigh or slightly higher;
• a fur coat-jacket is a shorter version of a short fur coat;
• a fur coat-cardigan - most often, a product of direct cut of medium length without a collar;
• a fur coat-dress is a rare style that does not carry a utilitarian load, but is notable for its spectacularity;
• a fur coat-robe - as a rule, a fur coat of a straight cut, long or medium length, with a belt;
• cocoon - a kind of replica on the styles of the 60s;
• manto - a fur coat with wide sleeves, without a through fastener, one of the variants of the underlined luxury, is worn mainly for the evening exit;
• a fur coat-cap is one of the most magnificent models of non-traditional cut, with slots for hands, successfully competing with classics in the degree of elegance;
• Swinger is a model of a long and rather wide trapezoid cut fur coat.

By type of collar:

• turndown;
• English;
• rack;
• apache;
• shalk;
• without collar;
• with a hood.

According to sleeve style:

• long straight, widening downwards or on the cuff;
• shortened versions - 7/8 or 3/4, requiring additional accessories in the form of long leather or suede gloves;
• sleeves with a lowered shoulder line - in fact, vests that are currently at the peak of fashion.

By type of finish:

• without finishing - the most common option;
• trimmed with other types of fur - for example, a luxurious version of a BLACKGLAMA fur coat with a hood, collar or cuffs of lynx fur, sable, chinchilla or mink of a different color;
• with decoration from other natural materials - for example, with inserts from python leather in the sleeves and in the hem of the fur coat;
• double-sided fur coats - one side is made of BLACKGLAMA skins, the second is made of mink in contrasting colors, for example, white.

As already mentioned, BLACKGLAMA is a trademark of mink skins, which are sold at a fur auction in the United States, the main buyers of which are manufacturers of fur products from Japan, Korea, China, Greece and Italy. That is why you should not be guided by the widespread and scornful, but illiterate opinion about the “Chinese or Turkish Blackglass”, you should first check the serial number of the fur coat and its external parameters, it may well be the most genuine.

One of the well-known Greek brands that produce mink coats from BLACKGLAMA is CHRISOS FURS, Artisti Elena, ESTEL FURS, the Italian manufacturers Alessandro Bosso, Tritone furs, Due Fratelli and O'Merinos which production is in China, the Russian fur factories "Kalyaev" and "ELENA FURS".

One of the inevitable companions of exclusivity is always the high price. Fur BLACKGLAMA fully justify this statement, being the most expensive mink fur in the world. The consequence of this is the frequent forgery of products of this brand, which I would very much like to avoid when buying this status, prestigious and simply very beautiful and expensive thing.

The label is sewn from two narrow sides and from the seamy side has three sewn stripes, red, yellow, blue. In the company salon you can be offered to check the label holographic in the light of an ultraviolet lamp. This label has a white color and the inscription BLACKGLAMA in black letters, but in ultraviolet such blue lettering will fill the entire label space. You can also check the serial number of the fur coat on the VERIFY LABEL website.

However, if you still buy a fur coat not in a company store, even the presence of the above attributes cannot guarantee the authenticity of the products - to date, unscrupulous manufacturers buy several lots of BLACKGLAMA at auction, with their serial numbers supplying all their products or removing company labels from old fur coats .

• When buying a BLACKGLAMA fur coat, remember that the mink of this brand is always only black. Any natural black color of fur has shades in the underfold: from gray to brownish. Mezdra, that is, the skin of the fur, remains light.In fakes, that is, in coats of dyed black mink, this game of shades is absent, and the core becomes dark, although recently craftsmen have learned how to tint it.
• Fur BLACKGLAMA has a characteristic "plush" texture, due to the very thick underfur and frequent awn, which have almost the same length. Such fur can be described by the common word "stuffed", while it is very soft and silky. The consequence of the density of the fur is another proof of the authenticity of the brand - if you blow on the fur, then the cores will not be visible.
• The ambiguous indicator of the authenticity of BLACKGLAMA is its high price.

Considering the fact that BLACKGLAMA skins sell less than a million pieces annually, which is only a small percentage of the total amount of mink sold, the products of this brand simply cannot be cheap, no matter in which country they are produced.

The fact where the BLACKGLAMA fur coat is purchased also means a lot.

Owners of exclusive products BLACKGLAMA are divided into two types: lucky women who do not doubt the authenticity of their fur coats and who doubt but hope for the best. The average review of the coat BLACKGLAMA - quality (beauty, durability, good thermal insulation properties, resistance to dry cleaning), prestigious (this thing is a testament to your high status) is very expensive (but worth it).

Unusually spectacular version of a straight coat with an English collar and wide cuffs of lynx fur looks great with pants tucked into high boots with fur trim - chic for every day.

The flared version of the shortened fur coat with a hood, sleeves on the cuff, with a wide strap is an easy option for a young girl.

A manto with a large white mink collar is a luxurious simplicity that gently emphasizes the good taste and high position of the hostess.

One of the most popular models of the coat in the length of the mid-thigh of the “bat” style, on a wide belt, with a hood, is perfectly combined with tight pants or pencil skirts.

A straight "cross" with a stand-up collar and a sleeve - elegance in a modern style.

Often there is the opinion that BLACKGLAMA should not be worn with jeans, as this greatly simplifies the whole image - the simple style of the mink coat with a turn-down collar is emphasized to refute this statement.

And to a fur coat-jacket with a small collar-collar, wide sleeves and a leather belt, tied with a bow, a mini-skirt is perfect.

The classic of the genre - long, to the floor, BLACKGLAMA with brown tint still does not leave even the world podiums.

Fur coat transverse to non-standard style - a fur jacket with a wide collar and a spectacular fastener on large metal buttons with hanging loops, with leather cuffs on the bottom of the sleeves and the entire product.

For those to whom only a little BLACKGLAMA - a luxurious chinchilla collar on a long coat.

Cape Cross - an exquisite embodiment of the famous brand slogan "What becomes a legend?"

Another Cape, proving that the elegance of this cut is worthy of the level of BLACKGLAMA.

The method of drawing up a fur belt quite unusual for BLACKGLAMA, but the result turned out to be unusually effective - a short fur coat-cardigan made up of pieces of exclusive fur.

The unpredictable model of a short fur coat-robe with a deep neckline and the lower part, also composed of pieces of fur, is an absolute lack of functionality, a living embodiment of sensuality.

The El Macpherson bolero fur coat is by no means a casual option, but a completely worthy model for an ensemble with an evening dress.
