How to choose one for your figure
Today it is really difficult to quickly choose a short fur coat from mink. After all, women are so fickle and tend to get lost when faced with too large an assortment, which is typical for store catalogs these days. However, if you take into account all the important points, you can make a good choice.
Look at the following photo, which shows exclusive models of mink coats. What girl doesn't dream of such an outfit?
Rimini and San Marino
UniFur and Braschi: both factories are located in San Marino. The fur coats are made of high-quality fur, have an interesting design and a very large assortment. The Braschi brand is a little more expensive.
Prices:
- from 1000 EUR for a short coat and fur cape
- 1500–2500 EUR for a knee-length fur coat
- 2500–4000 EUR for a long fur coat.
There are many fur outlets in Rimini and San Marino, where fur coats from various designers from previous collections are presented at very cheap prices (from 700 EUR for a mink coat). Therefore, if you need an inexpensive option, it is best to go to Rimini for a fur coat.
Design tips
Designers advise the following:
- Short girls should avoid buying long or fluffy mink coats. Such options fit perfectly on representatives of the fairer sex with above average height. Chic short fur coats with an English collar are suitable for short girls;
- For ladies who tend to freeze at low temperatures, it is better to choose models with a straight cut, floor-length options, models with a belt, products with a hood or tapered sleeves. In such outerwear you will be warm and cozy all winter. Girls who are used to moving around the city by car are better off choosing less warm options. For example, trapezoidal mink short fur coats, which are sewn using the “unraveling” technology. However, it is worth noting that such products should be worn very carefully;
- If you need a model for every day, it is better to choose practical, elegant short fur coats with a hood. And if the product is planned to be worn on holidays, then preference should be given to exclusive options from Greece or Italy. This outfit will not leave other women or men indifferent.
Models of exclusive mink fur coats
If you live in Moscow, you can buy a mink coat for the harsh winter. However, many do not want to part with their favorite fur even in the off-season. For them, fashion designers create short sheepskin coats, women's jackets, jackets, vests, and other beautiful things for spring and autumn. Those who value style, comfort and practicality in every detail choose fashionable mink coats with detachable sleeves.
The lining is made of silk. Decorative elements are made of leather, suede, shiny and textured fabrics. Fastenings are often made invisible - designers use hidden hooks and zippers. Buying a mink coat means creating an image that is impeccable in every detail.
Colors of elite mink coats
The most valuable varieties are undyed white and black furs. Especially expensive are BLACKNAFA and BLACKGLAMA. Their pile is short, and the underfur is very thick, such material resembles velvet. Few people can buy luxury mink coats - NAFA and American Legend.
Many people like golden fur “champagne”, gray-blue “iris”, “sapphire” or “graphite”, brown “sable”. Buying a mink coat in beige and brown tones is a little easier, because the prices are a little lower.
Designers dye fur in natural tones or in bright, fantasy colors. As in Europe, in Moscow mink coats are very extravagant - red, blue, purple, malachite.
How to choose an exclusive color
Thanks to the large number of unique models of mink fur coats and short fur coats in the catalogs that modern sellers are happy to offer to fashionistas and fashionistas, choosing the optimal model for your wallet becomes much easier. Of course, an exclusive item from Greece or Italy will cost you more than other options, but in such attire you will be irresistible.
An important issue in this case is the color shade of the product. To accurately choose this option for a fur coat with a mink fur hood, you just need to try it on.
Look at the following photo, a selection of chic models of mink fur coats of different colors.
Milan
Here are the most fashionable, stylish and expensive fur coats from famous designers. Fur coats can be bought in a boutique, in a fur laboratory (where you can have a fur coat made to order from any fur at an inexpensive price), in an outlet (however, in Milan outlets, fur coats cost from 4000-5000 EUR and more) or in a factory store. It is most profitable to buy from a fur factory from the manufacturer. If we compare the price of a fur coat in Italy at a factory and in a Russian store, then the markup in Russia on average is about 2000 EUR from the price of a fur coat at the factory.
It is best to choose a fur coat from a designer who specializes in fur. For example, a fur coat from Roberto Cavalli will cost more than a fur coat of the same quality and design from Annabella, Vladimiro Gioia or De Nicola.
Simonetta Ravizza is now at the peak of popularity both in Europe and in Italy itself. This brand is part of the Annabella group and is a line of youth fashionable fur coats. The quality of fur and design are excellent. The only thing that doesn't please me is the price. The cost of a mink coat to the middle of the knee, for example, in a boutique is from 5000 EUR. The boutique is located in the center of Milan.
Annabella is another brand of fur coats in the upper-average segment. More suitable for elegant women, many classic models. The quality of the fur is excellent. Prices are very affordable - from 2000-2500 EUR for a mink coat. Fur coats are sold in a store from a factory in the suburbs of Milan. Fourteen showcases, an area of two thousand square meters, thirty sales showrooms, hundreds of ready-made fur coats and gold, stucco decorations, mirrors in the interior. There are large sizes (50-52 Russian size).
De Scal is a brand in the above-average segment. A white mink coat costs from 5,000 EUR in a boutique in Milan. Quite a large selection of fur coats. The boutique is located in the center of Milan.
Paolo Moretti is an unpromoted Italian designer in Russia. There are a lot of models of fur coats, various interesting designs and very reasonable prices: for 3000 EUR you can choose a beautiful knee-length mink coat. It can be called the middle segment and the option when you want to buy an inexpensive, stylish Italian fur coat without leaving Milan. The showroom is located in Milan in an apartment in a residential building, so it is difficult for a person “from the street” to get there.

Hue
Take into account the fact that the mink shade should contrast well with the woman’s skin tone and hair color:
- Exclusive light colors of mink coats refresh and bring a certain lightness to a girl’s image. They suit ladies with tanned bronze skin;
- Luxurious dark shades of mink can emphasize a slim figure, but at the same time can add a few extra years to the face. White-skinned ladies look more luxurious than others in such attire;
- Blue mink is a subtle option that may not be for everyone. But if it suits you, then your image will be truly royal. It is perfect for brown-eyed girls with thick black eyelashes.
It is also worth considering that the fur of any mink turns yellow over time. This does not depend on the quality of the skin or the conditions in which the animals were raised. That is why, when choosing a product, you need to carefully examine the underfur. Pay attention to its shade in artificial and daylight. It should not have any yellowness. To make such a defect more expressive, compare several models of light shades.
Painting
Remember that mink fabrics are often dyed in order to hide some of the fabric's imperfections. Fur coats made from this material may fade over time. Although to be fair, let us add that in 2015, bright shades of dyed mink fur coats are the height of fashion.
White gold mink is often bleached. This is also quite a stylish option, but such a short fur coat takes less time to wear than natural mink. In addition, it is worth considering that light sheepskin coats are less practical and often get dirty. Therefore, you need to care for them more carefully.
And if you want to purchase an exclusive “black diamond” mink with a hood, which is so popular in 2015, it is important not to confuse it with a dyed dark brown mink. After all, black mink is distinguished by its high cost, instead of which they will sell you a painted model at an inflated price.

Florence
Near Florence there is the only store of the Rindi fur factory. Expensive, high-quality, stylish fur coats and a fairly large assortment. Again, I'm not happy with the price. A mink coat will cost 5000-10000 EUR. However, this brand is loved and known in Russia, so they often visit the factory.
Bologna
The very famous brands Mala Mati and Marconi in Russia are located in the suburbs of Bologna. These brands can be classified as middle segment. Fur coats from Mala Mati and Marconi cost from 2000 EUR. You can get to Bologna from both Rimini and Milan: travel time by car or train is about 2 hours.
Rome
The best fur coats in the world are considered to be fur coats from Fendi. From this designer you can find the best furs, the most interesting models and the best quality of fur tailoring. However, these fur coats are also among the most expensive (the price of a fur coat is about 15,000 EUR). This designer’s fur laboratories are located in Rome, so it’s definitely worth visiting his showrooms. At least to look at these works of art.
De Nicola. This brand is often written about in online reviews of fur stores; it is presented in the showroom in Rome. The cost of fur coats is average, but the design is not very interesting. In Rome, it’s generally more difficult with fur coats, since even in winter the temperature there is usually +10 degrees. Accordingly, only Russian tourists buy fur coats.
Whatever fur coat you choose, the main thing is to correctly determine the quality of the fur and its processing. Take a knowledgeable person with you to help you choose the right fur.
If your loved one still hasn’t given you a fashionable Italian fur coat, then maybe you should give such a gift to yourself? After all, you deserve to wear a luxurious fur coat on your beautiful shoulders.
