If you want to have a truly exquisite and original fur coat in your wardrobe, you should take a closer look at the so-called cross mink, or cross mink. Among the elite mink fur, it is the cross that rightfully occupies an outstanding place, because this fur is quite rare, and therefore the most valuable.
Choosing a mink coat
Krestovka is a special variety of mink obtained through selection. The main difference from other species is the dark, most often black stripe that runs along the back of the animal and curves towards the shoulders of the animal.
It is this unique pattern that makes the cross-type mink so unique: the stripes can be wider or narrower, darker or lighter, so each skin forms its own unique pattern. When combined, such skins give a stunning pattern, which once you see, you will never again confuse cross mink with any other type of mink.
Cross mink fur coat - what is it like?
Krestovka is a natural color that was developed as a result of long-term selection. What is she? This is light fur, usually light gray, that is, with a cool tone with a dark stripe along the ridge, which curves towards the shoulder blades and there another stripe crosses it. Hence its name.
The peculiarity of this mink is that the main decoration of the fur is this unusual pattern. Because of this, the cross is never sewn unraveled, but only in solid plates, in order to preserve this original color in all its glory.
The direction of the skins can be either longitudinal or transverse; stitching can also be used.
The color of the cross can also be different, it depends on the mutation. It itself is called cross mink, this is the general name.
- Black cross mink. White fur with black or very dark stripes.
- Pastel cross mink. Coffee stripes on a white background.
- Silver cross mink. Silver-gray stripe color on a light background.
- Sapphire cross mink. A bluish-gray or ash-colored stripe on a white background.
- Jaguar. Scattered dark or black spots on white fur.
They all have their own charm, so it’s impossible to say which is better - choose the shade you like.
Krestovka cannot be “repeated” - this color is available only in its natural form and, like everything natural, it has its own price. Plus long-term selection, which adds cost. Plus, the cross is valued in itself, as a shade. This is a very rare fur.
All this turns a fur coat from this fur into a very low-budget purchase. Such a fur coat will cost different prices, but look for something cheaper than 155-160 thousand rubles. is meaningless and we are talking about short models.
Focus on a price of 200-230 thousand, no less, if you want to have a choice of different products.

How practical is it to buy a mid-calf length milky white mink coat?
I heard that a white mink can turn yellow, will this definitely happen and when?
Thank you in advance for your response.
- Elena, hello!
A white mink garment is no more practical than any other white garment. But no less.
Naturally, such a fur coat needs more careful handling, since the dirt on it is more visible (as on all light-colored clothes). “Aunt Asya” in this case can only be a professional fur dry cleaner (as for any fur clothing that is valuable to you).
Any fur gradually turns yellow over time, but this is more noticeable on blue and white flowers. This process occurs most quickly in bright light (daylight or artificial).
According to modern fur dressing technologies, color-stabilizing substances are added to chemicals to slow down the yellowing process, but it cannot be completely eliminated.
