How do you think a mink coat is good or bad? how
Mink is an expensive fur clothing fabric, and the price of clothing made of mink ranges from 3500-50,000 yuan. Such expensive clothing makes consumers cautious when buying! So when buying a mink coat, how should you identify its advantages and disadvantages? Now let me introduce some common sense to identify the advantages and disadvantages of a mink coat.
First, the original skin of mink skin
Mink is a small and precious fur animal of the mammalian class, carnivorous order, and ferret genus in animal taxonomy. In the wild state, there are two kinds of American mink and European mink. Now all countries in the world are the descendants of American and European mink in captivity. 99% of the mink clothing we see is captive. The advantage of captivity is that mink skin is rarely disabled. After the mink skin is cooked, the size is average, the thickness is average, the fur is evenly distributed, and the color difference is small.
In addition, there are considerable differences between the fur of male and female mink. Male mink fur is large and rich, and it feels weighty to wear, while female mink is softer and lighter to wear, and the amount is more. The female mink skin is narrower and finer, the hair is shorter, the capillary is dense and light, and the surface hair is long and shiny, and the finished product is more expensive.
As for the male sable and the female sable, it is generally better for the female sable, but it needs to be selected according to the buyer's preference and design. There are more than 15 kinds of sable colors, and the most popular ones are: black sable, brown brown sable, brown black sable, brown gray sable, pearl sable, white sable, black cross sable (with a stripe on the back hair).
The size of each mink varies, and the international standard is expressed by "number". No. 30 for 89CM or more, No. 20 for 83-89CM, No. 0 for 77-83CM, No. 1 for 71-77CM, No. 2 for 65-71CM, No. 3 for 59-65CM, No. 4 for 53-59CM, and No. 5 for 47-53CM. No. 0 or more is a large mink. The higher the CM value, the larger the leather sheet, and the higher the price.
Now there are also 00 and 000 skins, both of which are large skins. The Nordic mink skin Quality Standard is divided into four grades, namely: crown, Saga, grade 1, Saga weak belly, grade 1 weak belly, grade 2 and other (hair-forming type, bite damage type, diseased hair type). Among them, the crown grade is the highest grade of Nordic mink, and the price is the highest. Sage and grade 1 are common to us. The quality of Saga weak belly is slightly worse. Some unscrupulous merchants use mink skins below Saga weak belly to achieve the same effect as sage grade appearance through processing and make huge profits.
Second, the origin of mink skin
At present, the supply of raw materials for mink skins is mainly in the four Nordic countries and North America. The sales of mink skins produced in these two places account for 56% of the global raw materials for mink skins; the other 44% are produced by other countries, including purple mink skins. The only origin of purple mink skins is the Commonwealth of Independent States, which is very expensive. Some are produced in China, but the grade is very low and the quality is not good. Others are produced in cold countries, but the quality is not as good as that of Europe and the United States.
In 1954, Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden joined together to form an international market development and expansion agency called Nordic Family Fur, which marked the high-quality fur of Nordic origin with "SAGA". Only the finest mink or fox fur can be labeled "SAGA MINK" or "SAGA FOX".
The quality of American mink skins is higher than that of Nordic skins. The most famous mink skins in the United States are "legendary mink", and the best crown-grade Nordic mink skins can be comparable to American mink skins.
Third, the processing technology of mink
The processing process of mink skin is "piercing the knife". When buying mink skin, press it carefully on the large flat surface with your fingers, and you can find edges one by one. This is the "piercing the knife" process.
"Piercing a knife" is to cut the "mouth" into "lll", that is, to cut a piece of mink skin into a strip the width of a small finger, and then sew it. The sewing is particularly fine, much thinner than the stitches of embroidery. In this way, it is reasonable to increase the size of the leather sheet, but this is not the main purpose; the second is to make the garment have a natural drape and movement after processing, otherwise the effect of sewing with the whole mink skin is very ugly, and it is easy to produce a lot of wrinkles and unflattering effects. This is also reasonable.
In the suture, sewn with special thread, very fine. Shearing Mink: Shearing Mink uses a special process to cut off the long needles of the mink, which looks like the inner layer of mink. It is difficult to distinguish between Nordic and North American mink. However, the brand products produced by large manufacturers will not have defective products, nor will they be shoddy, using Nordic mink as American mink. The most likely counterfeit is the mink made in Tong'erpu, Liaoning Province. There are many small workshops in the Tong'erpu area. They use the short and defective mink to cut off the long needles.
IV. Accessories for mink clothing
The lining of mink clothing is very strong, and the kind of silk that is not shiny is better. Button zippers should be brand accessories, and the workmanship is particularly fine. When buying mink, try to buy brand goods, southern goods. Set, Shidu, Parkson, Hualian, New World, ZTE, Meimei, etc. are first-class shopping malls. There are many brands, with guaranteed quality, good service and good reputation, but the price is particularly high and does not face ordinary people. The specialty store is a second-rate shopping mall with moderate prices and good quality. However, many miscellaneous brands also play xxxx specialty stores, which makes it difficult to distinguish how their brands are inherently.
Therefore, when you go to the specialty store, try to find the brands you have heard of, such as "Meixue", "First Lady", "Caesar", etc. Some merchants in the north can register a company by spending 10,000 Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, so XXX Fur Co., Ltd. in XX Province has turned into Hong Kong XXX Fur Co., Ltd., but the origin remains unchanged. Such companies are also easy to distinguish.
Looking at the store decoration style, some specialty stores with big gold characters do not need to be asked, they are the small shops of the northern company; second, looking at the appearance design, the design ability of the northern mink clothing manufacturers is extremely poor, and they do not invest in the design at all. They can only blindly imitate the clothing styles of large southern companies, and often draw tigers rather than dogs. The appearance and signage design of clothes are particularly tacky.
In addition, the service staff of such specialty stores are generally their own family members, and the service method is backward and objectionable. Boutiques are third-rate shopping malls with poor appearance, often sold in groups, more complex brands, and the lowest grade. Pay special attention to buying goods here; the price of their products is at the public price, and it is said that 3,500 yuan can buy a women's short Finnish mink.
How to distinguish the texture of mink
American mink is the best in "American black", also called American black; the price of American mink is generally higher than that of Nordic mink, and the appearance is characterized by American mink needles that are particularly short, thin, and dense, basically equal to the length of the velvet, and the needle is only slightly longer than the velvet, so it is also called plain velvet mink, and the leather plate is soft; while Nordic mink needles have thick hair distribution, especially the needle is thick and long, and the leather plate is not soft.
You can basically tell the difference by touch and eye. The needles of the female mink are shorter, thinner, and have a special luster, which is smooth. Secondly, choose the appropriate style and color according to the individual's body shape and age. Check the texture to see if the mink skin is well processed. The mink skin needs to be complete, plush, with a flat fur surface, a well-proportioned color, and a bright luster.
When purchasing, you can shake the clothing a few times, so that there should be no hair loss. Then put the clothing on the counter, grab the hair bushes with appropriate force, and you can also see whether there is hair removal. The seams should be flat and stretched, and there should be no curling phenomenon. Then rub the leather a few times. If it makes a kraft paper-like sound or feels stiff, it means that the leather has poor tanning transparency and the quality of the leather plate is poor. You can also grab and shake the leather plate with your hands to hear whether there is any sound and whether the hand feels stiff. Check its softness and choose softness.
Smell the fur again, it is better to have no fishy smell, and you can also weigh the weight of the clothing. For the same size of leather, the lighter weight of the clothing is better, depending on the overall workmanship. The lining workmanship and the overall harmony of the clothing, hand pull the leather plate to see if the leather plate falls off. In 2001, an unscrupulous vendor in the xxx area of Liaoning Province actually used two-sided tape to stick mink skin, and the whole dress was not sewn with thread, which is unbelievable and amazing.
In addition, it also depends on whether the color is pure. If the color is not correct or the shades are different, it means that the dyeing is not good.
