How to identify mink fur

Mink fur is clothing made of mink fur. Compared with ordinary clothes, it is not only beautiful, but also has obvious warmth-retaining effect. Mink fur is generally very expensive, and consumers certainly hope to buy good quality goods when purchasing it. However, it is difficult for ordinary people to identify the quality of mink fur, and some special methods are required. So, how to identify mink fur? Let’s take a closer look below.

As the saying goes, good goods are not cheap, and cheap goods are not good. This is true. Think about it, can you buy a fur for one or two hundred yuan? A normal fur is not even enough to cover the processing fee. The worst ones are more than 500 yuan. If you see something being sold for dozens of yuan, or one or two hundred yuan, just pass it up. I can tell you that it is fake, unless the merchant is in a good mood that day and is having a promotion and selling at a loss.

2. Look at the type of fur

Mink hair: Mink hair is also known as soft gold. Mink hair is very short, very shiny, with even tips, and is a bit hard. Minks are not easy to raise, are small in size, and are carnivorous animals, so they are relatively expensive.

3. Look at the feel

Real hair is animal hair, so it has a certain degree of oiliness, which makes the hair itself feel very smooth, just like the feeling of a person's hair just washed. However, artificial hair will appear very fuzzy and not smooth to the touch. If you blow into real fur with your mouth, it will float lightly, but fake fur will not move. Even if it does, it is probably because you are blowing too hard. If you use your hands to pull apart the roots of real fur, the animal's skin will be exposed, while fake fur will be mesh-like, which is the easiest to judge. Also, real fur is easy to shed, but fake fur is not. Some Taobao sellers buy fur and find it is shedding, so they ask if it is fake. Here we tell you that only the real thing will shed. Think about it, will a wig shed hair? Do you shed hair when you comb your hair? Just compare and you will know.

Fur clothing should be stored in a cool and dry environment. It should not be exposed to water or direct sunlight. Fur that gets wet is prone to shedding. Before storing worn fur, brush it along the direction of the fur with a suitable brush to avoid dandruff and insects from hiding.

After the rainy season, when drying fur, you must cover it with a layer of cloth to avoid direct sunlight. After drying, wait until the temperature of the fur returns to normal temperature before storing it. Use a large coat hanger with broad shoulders to hang your favorite fur. Never use a plastic bag cover to cover your mink coat. It is best to store it in a silk cover. If the fur is wet by rain, frost or snow, it should be hung in a cool place to dry naturally. Do not heat or bake it or expose it to the sun. #p#Subtitle#e#

Mink is a small precious fur animal belonging to the class Mammalia, order Carnivora, and genus Mustela in animal taxonomy. In the wild, there are two species: American mink and European mink. The minks artificially bred in countries around the world today are all descendants of American and European minks. 99% of the mink clothing we see are artificially bred. The advantage of artificial breeding is that mink fur rarely has damages, and after tanning, the mink fur is of uniform size, thickness, fur distribution, and small color difference. In addition, there are considerable differences between the fur of male and female minks. The fur of male mink is large and thick, feeling heavy when worn, while the fur of female mink is softer and light when worn, so more is used. Among them, the female mink has a narrower and smaller body, shorter fur, which is fine, dense and light, with a long and shiny surface, and the finished product is more valuable. As for which one is better, male or female mink, generally speaking, female mink is better, but the choice also needs to be based on the buyer's preferences and design.
