Mink fur pieces – The alliance of luxury and
technicality
Mink is one of the most prized furs. Its hair
are dense, shiny and light, the touch is silky. It is a must-have in a wardrobe just like the little black dress.
It leaves a lot of freedom for creation.
Its wide range of colors from white to black, in
ranging from violet, sapphire and brown, can be easily waxed, shaved, knitted, dyed, mixed with other very different materials like snakeskin water, cashmere, fabrics, sheepskin or other furs.
Origin of mink
There are two types of mink, the most well-known of which comes from Denmark and Finland. The other species, called "Blackglama," comes from the USA and Canada.
Blackglama is a short-haired mink with very dense, silky down that gives it a velvety appearance.
We also distinguish between male and female mink. The female mink, smaller, is silky and light, while the male fur, larger in size, is characterized by more voluminous hair. We mainly use female mink.
