Choosing a fur coat from Honorika
Features of fur
Honorik was developed in the second half of the twentieth century. This animal appeared by crossing a ferret and a European mink. From ferrets they only got large ears with a white stripe. But from the mink, Honorik adopted many external qualities.
The animal's fur is very similar in appearance to sable. The thick underfur is evenly covered with a shiny awn. The color of the coat is close to the colors of dark sable. Unlike mink, honorik has a heterogeneous color with guard hair and lighter underfur. This animal is larger than its parents.
Rules for choosing a product made from marmot fur
The features of choosing a marmot fur product are similar to choosing a mink product. It is necessary to pay attention to the fur, its elasticity and the quality of the seams.
Buying a beautiful fur coat always brings a feeling of happiness and joy. To prevent the purchase from overshadowing pleasant emotions, you should adhere to the prescribed rules, but the choice of fur - mink or marmot - is up to you.

How not to confuse an honorary with a mink?
Honorik fur coats are very valuable, as their fur has good water-repellent properties. The animal acquired this quality after becoming perfectly accustomed to the wild. Animal fur is not inferior in its beauty. In addition, Honorika fur is very warm and pleasant to the touch. Reviews from owners of such fur products indicate that in terms of wear time they are close to mink products.
For connoisseurs of fur products, it will not be difficult to distinguish fur coats from Honorik in the photo from mink coats. But to be confident in your choice, you should consider three important components:
- fur color,
- skin sizes,
- type of down,
- price of a fur coat.
The color of the honorik is darker than that of the mink, and the undercoats are lighter. Mink has both fur and downs of the same shade. The size of the skin also matters. For a mink it does not exceed the parameters 15x15. If the skins are larger, then it is an honorik.
The honorik's fur is longer, but the fur is much less frequent than that of the mink. The price of such fur coats is cheaper, but they are not inferior in quality to mink ones. The fur of these animals is very valuable, since in some respects it is superior to the fur of its “parents”.

Distinctive features of different types of mink
Depending on the origin (where the animal was raised), mink fur has a number of distinctive characteristics.
Thus, Russian mink is found mainly in long coats. The fur looks slightly shaggy, but has a natural shine and is silky to the touch. The pile is quite long and the undercoat is high. This fur coat is very warm, it can withstand any frost, warming its owner. You can distinguish it from a fake by the height of the middle layer of wool, which is significantly higher than the down. The Belarusian and Baltic species have the same characteristics as the Russian, although they are grown in other regions.
The most popular type of this fur animal is the Scandinavian one. This type is grown in Finland and Scandinavia. Depending on this, the fur can be low or high, but the undercoat is always very thick. There is another Scandinavian type of this animal, the so-called “polar”. Visually, this fur is more reminiscent of sable, since the pile is long, brown, and quite expensive. It is very warm, waterproof and has a wide range of colors (various shades of dark brown, up to black brown).
The North American species is represented exclusively by black fur. This fur is considered the most expensive, it is of impeccable quality, its underfur is very thick and dense. The pile in such products has a beautiful appearance, it is low and silky, in many ways reminiscent of velvet.
The most affordable in terms of pricing policy is Chinese mink fur. He has a long pile and a thick undercoat. Due to its high popularity, it is extremely rare to find original Chinese fur; fakes are becoming more and more common. All products are cut and can be dyed.
Long fur coat models
Long, straight-cut honorik fur coats, shown in the photo, are considered the standard of elegance and femininity. Judging by the reviews of owners of such fur coats, they are universal for any style of clothing. Below-the-knee length models look great with or without corset belts, leather belts. Interesting models of fitted styles without collars and with straight sleeves. They harmonize perfectly with combinations of leather or other fur inserts.
The hit of recent seasons has been voluminous long women's fur coats in straight styles and with large hoods. Dark natural shades of honorik fur go perfectly with such models. The sleeves of the products vary in size from wrist to 3/4. The catalogs also feature extravagant fur coats with inserts made of leather, suede or decorated with original prints.

- fur coats,
- fur coats, cardigans,
- balloons and tulips,
- voluminous sleeves and hoods.
The catalog contains photos of a wide variety of models and styles. Fur coats of a simple cut, midi length, made from plucked honorik fur look original and stylish. Short fur coats with a horizontal cut of the skins without a collar or with an English stand-up collar are very fashionable. They can be complemented by horizontal inserts made of another material, breaking up the silhouette.
Fur coats up to the hips or waist became a hit in all designer catalogs. This length goes well with batwing sleeves. For women of any age and build, products in the shape of “tulips” are suitable. They will help hide waist imperfections or highlight the beauty of your legs.
When choosing a product, you should take into account not only fashion trends, but also the characteristics of fur, and most importantly, its quality and price. Reviews about fur coats from Honorik confirm that choosing something made from the fur of this rare animal will not disappoint, but will delight you with its quality and beauty for many years.
Rules for choosing a mink product
When you decide to purchase a mink coat, you should study a few rules that will help you determine the quality of the product and choose a gift that will please the eye and soul for more than one season.
1. You should not buy a fur coat in Russian or Chinese markets. To reduce the risk of purchasing a low-quality product, it is better to buy furs in specialized stores, where a guarantee will be provided, and in case of defects, a return will be possible. 2. The main evaluation criterion is the quality of the fur. The fur should be smooth, shiny, slightly prickly, with even hairs. It should keep its original shape. By running your hand against the growth of the villi, the fur should return to its reverse position without creases or hair loss.
3. In addition to visible hairs, there is fluff on the animal’s skin that covers the entire product. If there is no such gun, it means that it is a low-quality product and you should take a closer look at another one. 4. You can check the quality of the product by conducting a strength test. Lightly tug the hairs or shake the fur coat thoroughly. Falling fluff indicates improper storage or the use of low-quality raw materials.
5. The fur coat must be sewn with high quality. In order to evaluate the seams in the lining, there must be a hole. If it doesn't exist, it's worth thinking about what the manufacturer is hiding. It is unacceptable to use glue when joining patches. Such a fur trap may spread out after a few seasons. 6. Dyed mink is not an indicator of quality. But the paint itself is worth checking. By running a damp cloth over the product, there should be no traces of paint left. Often sellers sell dyed fur coats under the guise of expensive natural furs. Therefore, it is necessary to check the skin color, it should be light and shiny.
How to determine the quality of a mink coat when purchasing (with video)
Mink is one of the most expensive furs; it is distinguished by seasons and degree of color. The natural color, no matter how much you want it to be jet black, is red, with a slight tint of red. Everything that passes for blue mink (which, by the way, does not exist in nature) is a fake, and at best it is dyed fur.
Elderly Italian women wear mink coats better than anyone in the world and know the quality of fur. Contrary to all the rules, they wear them in the summer, when it gets colder, with elegant shoes or sandals. The climate makes it possible to wear such combinations, but they know the price of real fur better than anyone - a plate-shaped, slightly flared, but knee-length collection of precious skins.
Run your palm across the fur growth. High-quality and durable fur will then fall on its own, and your hand will feel warm. There are simply no other ways to check the quality of mink fur on a fur coat. In any, even the most expensive boutique, they can sell you a craft, and in the cheapest Turkish shop they can sell you a real work of art.
What should you know when planning to make a purchase?
Mink is raised under artificial conditions almost everywhere. The best skins are made in Greece and Turkey, but this is where the simplest styles are made. Absolutely black mink does not exist in nature; if you want to buy a dark fur coat, evenly colored fur should alert you.

Scandinavian mink coats: advantages
Why are there so many fans of Scandinavian mink fur? There are many reasons for this:
- It's very warm. After all, its guard villi are long throughout the entire skin. This protects even from severe frosts.
- Scandinavian mink fur undergoes careful control before sale. Accordingly, all products made from it are of high quality.
- The most popular fur coats are made from black Scandinavian mink. Shiny, smooth, stylish, they look incredibly luxurious. It’s not for nothing that such products are called “black diamonds.”
- The underfur of this fur is dense and beautiful.
- Scandinavian mink is wear-resistant.
- This fur is waterproof, which is important for the domestic climate.
How to wear?
Fur coats made from Scandinavian mink are rightfully considered a real luxury. That’s why it’s worth wearing them with the right accessories.
- Knitted scarves are prohibited.
- We'll have to give up colored stoles.
- A scarf made of fine wool will do.
- Light scarves made of natural fabric are best suited to such a mink coat.
- A neat and elegant hat is the best headdress to go with a fur coat.
- You can choose a small hat that will be devoid of additional decorations.
- If the fur coat has short sleeves, it must be supplemented with long gloves. It would be better if they were leather.
- Shoes for a Scandinavian mink coat should be of high quality, expensive and elegant. Low boots, boots, boots - it is important that they have a platform or thin heel.
How can you tell an expensive mink from a cheap one?
Buying a low-quality Chinese fur coat at the price of a Canadian one is unpleasant, offensive and costly. To avoid falling for cheap products, you should be more careful when inspecting the product. The first difference is the awn. The fake has excessively long and straight hair. Outwardly it may seem prickly. An important detail: the hair seems to lie at the base of the hair, and does not rise above it. More skillful sellers make fur with a medium-length pile and pass off such fur coats as Scandinavian ones, one of the most expensive minks in the segment. In this case, it is worth carefully examining the product further.
The second difference is shine. A low-quality fur coat will have an uneven shine, in chunks. The glassiness of the tide should also confuse you. If you put two fur coats together, a cheap one and a real Scandinavian one, the differences will be clearly visible. The natural product has a diamond sheen. The third difference is the undercoat. The case with the long axis immediately raises suspicion. It is not thick, not tight. With a short axle everything is more complicated. In such models, manufacturers make a thick underfur and pass off the fur coats, for example, as the “black diamond” model. But the original fur coat has a light inner layer, while the fake one has a darker shade.
A note to fashionistas
A natural mink coat can not only give chic and confidence to its owner, but also keep her warm in cold weather. In order for your favorite item to serve faithfully for many years, you need to know how to distinguish a good mink coat from a bad one. When choosing a fur coat, take a closer look at the texture and color of the fur. A dull shade, a hard surface and sticky fibers are the first signs of a low-quality product. Natural mink shines and shimmers, easily compressing and straightening in the hand. The place where the fur coat is purchased also plays a big role. For a truly high-quality item, it is better to go to a trusted store; first, be sure to read the reviews of other customers.
If you doubt your choice and don’t know how to distinguish a high-quality mink coat from a low-quality one, look at the inside of the product. The seams on natural fur coats are always done neatly, without tightness or distortion. If there is glue at the seams or they are made incorrectly, then it is better not to buy such a fur coat.
Today you learned how to distinguish a fake mink coat from a real one and now you can confidently go for the long-awaited new thing.
We wish you only successful shopping!

The article is super relevant! It can sometimes be really difficult to distinguish a quality fur coat from a fake. Even before the crisis, I myself bought a mink coat in Italy. There, of course, the quality and design are excellent. I’ve been wearing it for 4 years now, nothing wears out, and the model never goes out of fashion. Blackglama mink coat, long, chic, all shiny! I still love Italians, their models are always very stylish. This year there is no opportunity to go abroad, but I really wanted some new car lady’s fur coat. I found an italianlook store in Moscow, ordered a fur coat there, checked the documents, the fur, even tore off the lining a little... The quality is excellent! The fur coat actually turned out to be from Italy, and from a private show! So now I’ll be the only one in Moscow wearing a fur coat like this! Now there are still discounts, so I recommend it!
