Blue Mink Fur Coat

Among the variety of color solutions of fur mink coats blue mink patterns firmly taken the place of recognized classics of the market. It is the blue fur that is appreciated by the creators of the coat for refinement, elegant look and nobility. Any woman dressed in a blue mink fur coat elegantly emphasizes her own sense of taste and style.

Most of the mink breeds, from the fur of which blue fur coats are sewn, live in the north of the European and American continents. Breeders and breeders have long found that the genes of different breeds when crossing them together give a variety of color mutations. This interesting genetic feature is enjoyed by designers who create fur coats of breathtakingly beautiful shades.

Blue mink fur appreciated not only for the unique color, but also for the highest performance. Fur coats, sewn from it, are distinguished by the highest strength and resistance to even the most severe cold, and the fluffy and very thick undercoat adds moisture resistance to the product. At the same time, the fur itself remains smooth, pleasant to the touch, shiny and silky.

The exclusive status of the blue mink fur could not but affect the value of the works of design art created from it - such coats can cost much more than analogues made of fur of other colors. At the same time it is necessary to strictly maintain the storage conditions of fur products, otherwise the owner of a fur coat runs the risk of noticing that her favorite outfit began to turn yellow.

Given the characteristic features of color the blue mink, on the light background of the fur of which the darker stripes running along the back stand out clearly, the creators of the fur coats got an excellent opportunity to freely use the longitudinal cut. This most favorably influences the variety of styles along the length - both long, reminiscent of a strict coat from England or unattached models, and short fur coats are in fashion.

At the same time, the same color characteristics allow fashion designers to actively exploit both a transverse cut, in which all mink skins are stacked horizontally, and mixed. In this case, only part of the surface of the fur coat is drawn across. As a rule, this is either top to the waist, or vice versa - at the bottom of the hem. There are also experimental models in which the cross-cut is used in the form of side inserts.

Despite all the variety of variations in the color of the blue minks, designers tend to divide all these shades into six basic categories:

• Sapphire. The classic color for fur from Scandinavia, it is both light and dark tones, there are also averages between them.

• Silver blue. Basically, such fur is produced in Finland and Russia. It is distinguished by a rather large size of silver-blue skins with light gray echoes. The “crushed ice” is considered an independent subspecies of “Silver Blue” - it is characterized by a clarified undergrowth with an iridescent and smoky shade.

• Blue ice. The fur of this type is distinguished by a dark gray top and a thick blue cushion.

• Blue iris. Such furs are obtained from Aleutian minks. In many ways, it is similar to "sapphire", thanks to which it is also known as "steel sapphire".It is inherent ash-gray or silver-steel shade.

• Topaz (aka violet). The brightest variety of blue fur, specially bred by Finnish geneticists.

• Krestovka. It is characterized by dark spots in the form of a sacrum on a delicate blue background. Alternative names: sapphire cross or iris cross.

Stylists have long noticed that blue mink fur coats are more suited to brunettes and brown-haired than blond-haired white hair owners. In the latter, the complexion tends to visually blend in with the fur of some breeds, so blondes should be very careful when choosing a blue fur coat.

A truly high-quality blue mink fur has natural azure shades without the slightest sign of yellowness. The latter may appear on a fur coat that has hung in the store for more than a month or was stored in violation of the prescribed conditions. You also need to check the quality of the dressing of the skins: the fur should easily wrinkle and stretch back.

Women who buy blue mink coats for the first time are advised to adhere to the same rules as when choosing a mink coat of other colors - be sure to look under the lining to visually assess the size of the skins from which it is sewn and the quality of the seams.

When choosing a style of fur coat, each woman has her own preferences and priorities. The only model that is not particularly praised in the blue mink fur version is the autolady. This style is considered to be too mundane and utilitarian, as a result of which more practical types of fur are used for sewing fur coats of this model: the noble blue mink fur gets dirty pretty quickly.

A cropped fur coat made of gray-blue fur with a hood is elegantly complemented with a leather belt without a buckle, which is tied with a deliberately careless knot. Cross-cut perfectly combined with wide sleeves and becomes the basis of the image, appropriate both for a romantic walk under the moon and in the office.

The color of the coat is striking from the first second. A neat silhouette, sufficient to put this model on even in the most severe frost, the length and elegant clasp under the spectacular collar - it is absolutely impossible to go unnoticed by a girl dressed in such a fur coat.

The model is sewn of fur of the most dark variety of mink crossings. The bottom row of skins is stitched so as to form an edge in the form of a kind of flounce, emphasizing the slenderness of female legs. The hood favorably emphasizes the skin color of the face and protects the owner of the fur coat even from wind gusts.
