Characteristics of Russian mink fur
The Russian or Russian mink was developed through selective breeding in the late 20s. XX century Within the breed there are the following subspecies:
- Belarusian;
- Baltic;
- Kaliningrad
The animal is kept only on fur farms. This allows us to continue breeding work and give the fur the qualities required by the latest fashion trends. The quality of the skins depends on the conditions in a particular nursery.
The fur-bearing animal, which was bred with an eye to the climate of the north, has skins suitable for sewing warm clothes. It has a denser undercoat and longer guard hairs than its American or European counterpart. The most common color is brown. The most expensive skins are dark chocolate and black.
How much does a natural mink coat made from Canadian mink cost? Price overview
Today, not everyone can buy a fur coat from Canadian mink. The reason for this is the high price. But almost every girl dreams of such a gift. On average, the price for a product made from natural Canadian mink varies from $1000 to $1500, depending on the length of the fur coat you would like. The price will be very reasonable if you buy natural mink, and not a low-quality fake, which is passed off as an expensive and elite product.

Fur care
Having bought such an expensive fur coat made of elite fur, you should take care of caring for it. During the off-season, store your mink coat in a special fabric case impregnated with an anti-moth compound. It is best to store a fur coat in a spacious, cool and dark closet, without squeezing it with other clothes.
During the season, try not to wear bags with a long strap with your fur coat, so as not to damage the fur on your shoulders and thighs, and also tie a silk scarf around your neck so that the fur does not start to shine when it comes into contact with your skin and hair.
If you get caught in snow or rain in your fur coat, do not dry it with electric appliances, but carefully hang it on hangers and let it dry. Do not clean heavy stains yourself, but have them dry cleaned.
How to choose a quality fur coat and distinguish it from a fake?
No one is safe from purchasing a low-quality mink coat, but being informed means being armed. Still, there are several differences that will help you choose only a quality product.
Natural Canadian mink fur itself is extremely beautiful, does not wrinkle and does not require special adjustments, while fake fur is cut to obtain a corduroy effect and because of this, the pile on such products is slightly shorter compared to natural mink.
You also can’t do without painting. To give the product that same rich color of Canadian mink, manufacturers tint the material, but everything would be nothing if then, in many cases, the color of your fur coat did not transfer to other clothes or did not flow down due to sudden rain or snowfall.
How many seasons can Canadian mink last?
A high-quality and natural Canadian mink coat should last you exactly 10 seasons if you choose it correctly and take good care of it. Look carefully at the back of the product; on natural mink, the lining is sewn loosely, and you can see the white back side of the fur. If it is too dry and feels like paper, such a fur coat will not last long, so ask the seller to show you the inside of a potential purchase.

All about microchipping fur coats: what is it and why?
A fur coat occupies a special place in a woman’s life. For some it is a dream, but for others it is a necessity. However, both categories agree on one thing - no one wants to buy clothes made from low-quality fur or counterfeit ones. In order not to waste money, it was invented to put chips on fur coats containing important information.
On women's forums, deceived customers constantly talk about fakes that quickly become unusable. This is because the majority of Russian fur coats are from a “gray” illegal manufacturer, which is impossible to find and make a claim against. In 2017, the state promised women to take control of all fur manufacturers and carry out total microchipping of fur products. This will affect both Russian and foreign factories, where these tags will be sewn or installed directly.
Which fur coats should be microchipped?
To prevent unscrupulous manufacturers from selling a rabbit under the guise of a chinchilla, and passing off a marten as a sable, to convince us, the buyers, that this is not dyed, but the most natural fur, a decree of the Government of the Russian Federation was adopted on August 12, 2016.
This decision gives the buyer the right to know what a mink coat actually looks like, painted in all sorts of colors, or made from a rabbit. Now he decides for himself what he wants - a mink or a rabbit, and pays according to the value of the skin.
According to the law, starting from 2021, all fur products sold must be chipped, that is, equipped with a special radio frequency tag that is protected from counterfeiting. It can be stitched or glued into the product, and can also be an invoice. For Russian goods the sign will be green, for foreign goods it will be red.
These rules apply to all items of clothing and individual parts. They primarily concern manufacturers from countries that are members of the economic union. These include countries of the former CIS that produce mink coats, products made from nutria, fox, rabbit, arctic fox, raccoon, and sheepskin. If the product has fur only on the inner lining or the fur pile is attached inside out, chipping is also required. Clothes made from valuable animal fur, such as collars, boas, and muffs, fall under the category of mandatory identification using chips.
In the event that sellers justify the lack of labeling by purchasing goods before 08/12/2016 - the moment when the law on chipping fur coats 2021 came into force, this is a clear violation, an attempt to mislead the buyer, which threatens unscrupulous merchants with a significant fine.
What can be sold without a chip?
From 2021, all fur coats without a chip are illegal. But there are fur products that are not covered by the new law on chipping fur coats. These include: fur hats; scarves; products with fur trim; haberdashery goods (pillows, bags, blankets, covers); gloves, mittens; shoes; toys; sports accessories.
What you need to know when buying a fur coat
When purchasing a fur coat, make sure that the chip is in place, secured with a disposable seal, or sewn into the seam with a factory stitch. You can find out all the information about your upcoming purchase yourself, without resorting to the services of fur specialists. To do this, you need to download a special application to your mobile phone with information about microchipping fur coats. Scan the QR code on the product tag with your mobile phone. Send the product code for verification and receive the verification result with complete information about this fur product - the value of the fur, the country of origin, the brand, the quality category. The whole story will be studied in detail by you, and you will be able to make your own purchasing decision.
Who benefits from microchipping fur products?
The authors of the new law are confident that not only the state will benefit from chipping, but also customers who will be 100% informed about their purchase.
When the system is fully operational
On August 12, 2021, the Government of the Russian Federation obliged manufacturers, sellers, and suppliers to provide appropriate labeling for products made from natural fur. At women's forums, this news was received with enthusiasm, anticipating loud revelations of unscrupulous businessmen. However, according to the latest news, this process is not going so successfully, due to the fact that it is at different stages of implementation in the treaty countries. Because of this, it was decided to extend the pilot project, which allows for voluntary and gradual chipping of fur coats by manufacturers.
Will fur coats become more expensive?
Like any innovation, chipping involves additional costs. We are talking about taxes, customs duties and the cost of manufacturing the chips themselves. Buyers need to be prepared to bear part of the costs themselves, since, according to experts, the price of fur coats will increase by an average of 30%. And this no longer inspires much optimism regarding the introduction of innovation.
They are responsible for quality. Checked by Pulse
Summing up the article on microchipping of fur products, we decided not to be unfounded and not to refer only to official information. Pulse correspondents decided to find out whether it is possible to purchase a high-quality, and most importantly, “legal” fur coat in the stores of our Ivanteevka. Or will you still have to go to the capital for expensive goods?
Without thinking twice, we, a correspondent and photographer of the city newspaper, went to one of the city’s shopping centers. At the fur outerwear store, we were received warily at first, but after explaining the purpose of our visit—to find out whether there were chips on the fur coats being sold—they not only showed us, but also told us in detail about the control and identification marks. And not only. Friendly sales consultant Inna gave us a real tour of fur products and told us how and where they come from in our city.
— Labeling of fur products, as required by law, appeared in 2021. The chip can be hanging, or it can be sewn into the lining of a fur coat,” Inna shares with us. — We purchase our fur products only from Russian manufacturers. At the Pyatigorsk factory, in Minvody, in Stavropol. Products made from mouton are in great demand among Ivanteevsk ladies - this is the warmest fur, cannot be compared with mink or astrakhan fur.
We were able to check a mouton fur coat for quality and legality in a matter of seconds. Using a special program in a mobile phone, scanning the QR code, they immediately received all the information on the smartphone screen.
“The buyer can check any fur coat for quality the old-fashioned way, by lifting the lining, this way you can see the finishing of the skin, you can see if it will crack or fall off,” says Inna. — People who use the Internet are more advanced (some come with sons or daughters), they know about chipping. The older generation chooses a suitable model, focusing on appearance, the opinion of the seller and their own wallet.
