And although the price of pleasure confuses many, and the cost of the most expensive fur coats sometimes goes through the roof, in the vastness of modern stores you can find the most suitable option for yourself in terms of length, style, color and cost. So, let's start our top.
All prices in our list are presented at the rate of 1 USD = 66 rubles.
Raccoon (from ~ 25,000 rubles)
One of the relatively inexpensive furs for the production of women's fur coats is raccoon fur. The raccoon is a mammal and a predator. Its fur is usually greyish, brownish or black-brown in color. Thanks to modernized processing processes, specialists are able to create fur coats with thick, soft and warm pile and preserve such natural properties as high resistance to moisture and wear resistance. The practicality of raccoon products allows you to withstand severe frosts for up to 15 seasons! They say that a raccoon fur coat gives its owner inner strength and self-confidence.
For youth products, the pile is sometimes additionally bleached or dyed, so in stores you can often find products in green or pink shades.
People with average incomes can afford such a product - the cost starts from 25,000 rubles and reaches 100,000 rubles.
Arctic fox (from ~ 35,000 rubles)
Next on the list is the Arctic fox. The sophisticated look and aesthetic qualities of this fur are popular with couturiers and fashion houses, which allows the Arctic fox to be part of Parisian shows. Some of the advantages of arctic fox fur are thermal insulation and practicality. In an arctic fox fur coat you are not afraid of frost! Moreover, it does not fade, is not susceptible to moisture, and is easy to wash and restore.
In production, arctic fox fur is used both in processed and natural forms. Like raccoon fur, dyed arctic fox is also used in the creation of youth products: vests, short fur coats, hats.
The cost of an arctic fox fur coat varies from 32,000 rubles to 150,000 rubles. The price difference depends on the length of the product and the presence of additional components. Short products without a hood are usually offered from 32,000 rubles to 100,000 rubles. Long products (to the knee and below) are presented from 100,000 rubles to 150,000 rubles.
Nuances worth paying attention to
The quality of a fur coat may depend on the following factors:
- fur dyeing technology - be sure to check directly in the store to see if the wool is dyed;
- quality of seams - they must be solid, strong, have no gaps, knots or folds, see photo;
- the condition of the fur - it should be soft, elastic and not make rustling sounds when the fur is wrinkled;
- correct cut - put the product on yourself, it should not pull or restrict movement anywhere, consider what you will wear over the sweater.
As you can see, if the lobs themselves are of high quality, then they do not spoil the mink coat in any way. Either bad seams or incorrect leather dressing technology can affect the quality of the finished product.
Beaver (from ~ 37,000 rubles)
A warm beaver fur coat can last you up to 20 seasons—that’s durability! Moreover, the pile of the fur coat is soft and pleasant to the touch, making it a pleasure to warm up in the cold winter. For aesthetic reasons, fur is sometimes combined with leather, which allows your product to look stylish. Beaver fur can always be further processed to make it lighter and fluffier.
The price category for such products is affordable, and the cheapest models are made from plucked pile - from 37,000 rubles. If the price is higher, there are most likely additional elements (hood, high collar, belt).
How to choose an exclusive color
When buying a premium fur coat, you should choose the right color of the product in order to look stylish - chic mink coats should not overshadow the owner with their beauty. To do this, you should choose the right natural color for your hair, skin and face type. Luxurious fur should not be the same tone as the woman’s hair color, otherwise a fashionista will look faded in such a fur coat.
The classic dark brown shade is rightfully considered the universal natural color of mink. It has a warm inner glow and is suitable for most women. Care should be taken when choosing blue, fawn and black mink models. These shades are more suitable for women with spring or winter face types.
Black and brown fox (from ~ 40,000 rubles)
Our list of the most expensive fur coats in the world continues with products made from silver fox fur, which is used specifically for the production of women's fur coats. The coloring of black-brown foxes usually comes in three types: ash, gray with blue tints and black. The unusual color allows you not to overload the fur coats with massive details and preserve the “intact” fur.
Black and brown fox fur coats owe their popularity among the masses to the actress Marlene Dietrich, who was one of the first to appear on screen wearing them.
As for other qualities, the pile is characterized by heat retention and lack of wear. However, the fur of the black-brown fox has difficulty surviving moisture. This type of fur coat is suitable for a cold, dry winter.
The price category varies from 35,000 rubles to 135,000 rubles. Short products without additional details (for example, a hood) are considered cheaper. They usually cost 35,000-70,000 rubles. The higher the price, the lower the length of the product. Thus, a long fur coat made of silver fox can cost up to 135,000 rubles.
Mink (from ~ 90,000 rubles)
What woman doesn’t dream of having a mink coat in her wardrobe? This item is especially popular among the fair sex. And for good reason: a girl dressed in mink is followed everywhere by a trail of status and luxury.
In most cases, the fur is not cut during production - this helps preserve the natural beauty of the mink. Fur coats are often additionally dyed to give the product greater shine and even out the natural color. If you see a model made from sheared or plucked mink, then most likely you are looking at a fur jacket or vest. Typically, hairdressers resort to haircuts to hide defects or to give the product a more elegant and fashionable look. Many short fur coats are made from short-haired pile, ideal for social parties.
Women's mink coats are one of the most desirable winter products, which makes them “victims” of counterfeits. To choose a high-quality natural fur coat, make sure that the pile is thick, soft and does not have a specific odor. Also, natural mink coat is characterized by shine and lightness. Fashionistas will be pleased by the fact that they will always be in trend.
The most expensive mink coat in the world cannot be called, but the pleasure is not cheap - the cost of a women's mink coat is an order of magnitude higher than previous models. The price starts from 90,000 rubles, and the most expensive fur coat model from luxury well-known brands can cost several hundred thousand dollars.
Fashionable style of mink coat
Women's mink coats in the luxury price segment are distinguished by a variety of model lines. Expensive mink coats, short fur coats, jackets and coats are distinguished by their color and decorative diversity. In the coming fall-winter season, fashion designers are offering models with a hood and a voluminous shawl collar made of fur with long pile. Such models look chic and very impressive.
For lovers of discreet classics, collections of elite furs offer elegant models in which the top is decorated with a small stand-up collar. The sleeve is full, set-in can be narrow or flared downwards. Any silhouettes of expensive mink coats that fit perfectly on a woman’s figure are considered relevant this season. Modern fashion trends offer a wide range of fashionable looks created from elite mink coats: from timeless classics with hems just below the knee and a flared silhouette to spectacular designer coats that are a real work of applied art.
Chinchilla (from ~ 170,000 rubles)
A soft chinchilla fur coat will highlight the refined taste of its owner!
The color deserves special attention. There is practically no need for a complete repainting of the pile, since nature already provides an eye-catching black and gray striped color. Designers are also attracted by the quilted texture - this is where there is room for creativity!
Chinchilla fur is already considered one of the most expensive in the world. The most important quality is the lack of painstaking care - your item will look great even with minimal effort. If the fur coat is wet, leave it to dry on a hanger. If serious contamination appears, it is better to take the item for special cleaning.
As for the price, at the start it is 170,000 rubles. Typically, such a low price occurs for models made from animal scraps.
Marten (from ~ 200,000 rubles)
The next contender for the right to be the most expensive women's fur coat was a marten fur coat. She is worthy of the attention of any fashionista! A distinctive feature of fur is its long and shiny pile. In its thickness, the marten resembles a sable, so people who are far from studying fur often confuse them.
Based on key characteristics, marten fur can be rated “excellent” - the products are highly wear-resistant and retain heat well, despite their lightness. Moreover, marten fur is considered hypoallergenic! During production, a new color is sometimes invented for the pile. If you choose a marten fur coat, when checking, pay attention to the elasticity and softness of the product.
Harvesting fur is difficult - martens are not bred in captivity, so everything you see in stores was obtained by hunters. Hence the increased cost of the product - the starting price in stores starts from 200,000 rubles (and this is a short sheepskin coat!). Knee-length fur coats range in price from 280,000 rubles, and lovers of floor-length products can expect a starting price of 320,000 rubles. Yes, this is not exactly the price of the most expensive women’s fur coat, but you can’t call it cheap either.
Sable (from ~ 300,000 rubles)
People modestly call sable “soft gold.” What does a sable fur coat look like? Truly luxurious - thick silky fur with reflections will not leave anyone indifferent. Usually sable fur coats are not dyed. In its natural form, you can find the product in black, sand, brown with a dark stripe and milky with a bright throat spot.
They are characterized by extraordinary heat resistance and are able to warm you even in the coldest frost. A hood would be an appropriate addition - it will help protect from the wind. However, not everyone can afford such a luxury, because a sable fur coat is, if not the most expensive, then one of the most expensive!
For example, the famous fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, in one of his collections, presented a sample of a fur coat assembled from 60 sable patches. Experts estimated the cost of such a fur coat at 1,000,000 euros.
Features of care
It doesn’t matter whether your fur coat is made from mink lobs or a whole one, it requires proper care.
By following the simplest rules, you can extend the life of your fur product.
- Try to stay out of the rain and avoid getting the fur too wet.
- Before storing the product in the closet for a warm period, carefully inspect it; it must be clean and spotlessly dry.
- Shake the fur coat periodically to allow the fur to “breathe.”
- It is better to clean fur products in specialized establishments.
- Make sure that wet fur does not come into contact with bright, wet things to avoid possible shedding.
Mink is a beautiful and prestigious fur. If you are still in doubt, read reviews from other buyers. Buy only from trusted places and be sure to ask for a warranty card.
Ermine (from ~ 370,000 rubles)
Ermine fur coats have long been adorned by royalty, all because of the soft, shiny fur.
However, products made from ermine hair are not particularly warm and resistant to negative external factors, so they are not suitable for daily wear and long walks in 40 degree frost. This thing is created for something high! As an example, Marilyn Monroe was the happy owner of a snow-white ermine fur coat.
By the way, ermine hair can be colored, so fur coats are not always only white.
The price of such a women's fur coat from the “luxury” category starts at 370,000 rubles (in Russian production).
