Developing fresh and unusual models of fur coats, fur fashion designers came to sewing fur coats from a combination of different furs. This is how options appeared from mink and marten, mouton and arctic fox, mink and sable. In creating such models, the master can include flights of fancy. Often, coats made from cheaper fur are trimmed with collars or sleeves of valuable breeds. A simply luxurious combination is a mink coat with sable. Today there are many different options available.
Sable edge is proof of impeccable taste
Sable is one of the very beautiful and expensive furs. Not every lady can afford a sable fur coat for daily use. Is it necessary? Maybe it’s better to find a fashionable and stylish mink coat with sable? The price for such a model will be more affordable.
Both furs (mink and sable) belong to the mustelid family, so there is no particular heterogeneity between them. The hair of sable fur is very thick, silky, delicate, and soft to the touch. Its color has seven color categories: from black-brown to light chestnut. The most valued are Barguzin and Kamchatka, which have black awns and blue fluff. Slightly lower in quality are Sakhalin, Yakut, Tobolsk, Altai and Tuvan skins.
Sable is considered the king of furs. It is very soft, silky and shiny. The value of the skins is given by a kind of gray hair, interspersed with white hairs. A solid sable fur coat looks a little bulky, but the skins are perfect for making collars, hoods, capes, stoles and even headdresses. It is worth noting that this rich fur is used in its natural form because it does not require additional coloring or cutting.
Very often you can find sheared mink products in stores and on the streets. Their fur is very smooth, velvety, pleasant to the touch. It is with such cropped fur coats that sable edges are combined. Such products are original and unique, because they can be made of fur with complex embossing in the form of patterns. Mink fur is several times cheaper than sable fur. In a word, the choice is yours.
Lynx fur as a decorative element of a mink coat
The quality of lynx fur is not inferior to that of other breeds: it is quite thick, silky to the touch, with a slight sparkle . The height of the pile is approximately twice that of mink, with a soft underfur. Lynx fur has been highly valued since ancient times and was one of the commercial types of “soft gold”.
The color of the lynx is typical of most representatives of the cat family: a sandy-red back and a white belly, chaotically strewn with black specks. However, such bright colors of lynx fur would give any product, especially a fur coat, a defiant and even vulgar sound. The pile, five to seven centimeters high, gives things made from this fur noticeable volume, and will make even a miniature figure look bulky and give it awkward fullness. For this reason, a reasonable solution was found - to use this fur to decorate and combine furs that would differ in texture.

What is combined with what?
The lynx looks simply amazing in combination with the mink. These furs coexist equally in combination, complement each other and emphasize each other’s attractiveness. Traditionally, individual structural elements are cut out from lynx fur:
- collars;
- cuffs;
- hoods;
- pockets;
- fastener bar.
Spot use allows you to achieve balance in the proportions of the silhouette, harmonize the decorative component of the image and somewhat dilute the magnificent, but solemn shine of mink, without damaging the overall luxurious impression.

Advantages and price of a mink coat with sable
Let's look at the benefits. Mink products have always been valued by women. They are characterized by a noble shine and smoothness. Mink fur has a silky and soft hairline. Developers of fur fashion do not often resort to a combination of rich furs, so as not to overshadow any of them. The exception was the combination of mink and sable. These are also the two most durable types of fur.
Firstly, such products have a delightful aesthetic effect. Many luxury models shine beautifully and shimmer in various shades. These coats are very warm and cozy. The combination of mink and sable allows you to sew various models: coats, shortened, straight under the belt, flared. The choice is rich. The price of a mink coat with sable depends on the model and quality of the fur. On average, the cost of such products ranges from 200,000 to 300,000 rubles.
How to store
A sable fur coat should be stored in the same way as any other fur product. It is best to put it in a special refrigerator for storage in the summer. If this is not possible, then you should organize proper storage at home. To do this, the fur coat will need a special cover and a compartment in the closet in which the product will hang freely.
Do not dry the product near heat sources. If the fur coat gets wet from snow, it should be shaken thoroughly and hung on hangers in a ventilated and dry room. It is not recommended to keep the fur in direct sunlight for a long time, as this worsens its appearance and the quality of the fur. With proper storage organization, mink products serve their owners for at least 10 seasons.
Mink coat with sable collar
Dark brown fur is recognized as the highest quality type. Using this color, you can emphasize the color of your eyes, especially brown ones, and focus attention on the high status of the owner of the product. Experienced buyers know that they need to pay attention to the direction of the pile where the fur fabrics are joined. For example, the pile of the collar and sleeves should not lie in different directions.
The sable collar is usually voluminous and fluffy. If we compare the fur of this animal with precious metals, then the cost of sable fur is similar to gold. A mink coat with a boat collar looks very feminine. A-line items can be decorated with apache collars. An English sable collar is very common. The turn-down option is considered a classic style.
What to wear with
A sable-colored fur product can be worn with a variety of things. It is suitable for both everyday use and special occasions. Evening dresses, business suits, trousers and skirts will be combined with such a fur coat. This expensive item is ideal for creating a feminine and elegant look.
Shoes and accessories
Light brown shades of mink suggest the use of darker accessories that will effectively highlight the beauty of the fur. When creating a fashionable look, you cannot use knitted accessories. Knitted hats would be inappropriate in this case.
It is better to choose shoes with high heels, and bags with medium-length handles. It should be remembered that you cannot wear shoulder bags with natural fur coats, as this will create bald patches and spoil the appearance.
Stylish looks
Today, different mink silhouettes are trending. The fur product, the photo of which is presented below, can be straight, flared, or fitted. A classic fur coat should be of medium length. It is versatile and suitable for wearing with skirts, dresses and trousers. In addition to such models, shortened coats that resemble jackets or vests are popular. They cost less and are more suitable for young girls.
Models with sable hood
It is important to note that the sable finish is not only luxurious, but also durable. Perhaps the most practical and beautiful is the model with a hood made from the skin of this animal. This hood is very light and does not fall back. Fashionistas who want to maintain their hairstyle need not worry: the hairstyle will remain at its best. A sable hood will protect you from bad weather and keep you warm.
To sew such hoods, fur with long pile is used, which frames the beauty’s face favorably. They try to match the color of the hood to the tone of the mink coat or create a harmonious contrast.
As for hood models, there are those made entirely of sable, and there are options only with a sable lapel. The hoods that extend into the collar are particularly luxurious.
Mink fur coat with sable color
A women's sable mink coat looks like a sable color. It is because of this that such mink is constantly in trend. The value of the visual similarity of this fur coat to sable is certainly one of the reasons for its popularity. Such products can be stitched both longitudinally and transversely. The use of cross-pile technology only increases the resemblance to sable.
Which fur coat is better: transverse, longitudinal or solid mink?
Today, mink cross-pieces are in great demand on the fur market. The use of such technology for processing fur and creating a single fur fabric from it has supplanted traditional longitudinal stitching.
A transverse mink coat in sable color will cost less than a product sewn from longitudinal stripes, and it will not be inferior in quality and appearance. In addition, the transverse arrangement enhances the external resemblance to sable. Solid and longitudinal mink coats are more expensive. The use of transverse fur made it possible not only to diversify the appearance of mink coats, but also made them more affordable.
Features of fur
For products of transverse or longitudinal type, the fur consists mainly of a brown palette. However, a cross-cut mink coat reveals the color characteristics of the fur more clearly than a model made from longitudinally collected skins or from a whole mink. The brown color of the sable in the photo looks more prominent in the transverse assembly of the fur plates. It visually increases the length of the guard hair, which is shorter in mink than in sable.
When the fur plates are arranged transversely, such fur has a grayish-brown tint, so it is visually very similar to sable. Its slightly lighter underfur emphasizes the sophistication and beauty of the product, making it more elegant and impressive. The color “sable” is considered a rather rare natural color for mink fur, so it is expensive. Fashion designers sew expensive coats, fur coats and fur coats from it. For more affordable mink coats, it is possible to use mink fur with artificial sable dyeing.
Benefits of sable fur
The color “sable” is one of the most alluring and very beautiful shades of natural origin. Models made from mink of this shade can compete in appearance with fur products made from real sable, but at the same time will be more affordable.
Transverse sable coats
Over the past few seasons, transverse models or so-called sable-like mink coats have been very popular. Cross-cut models are considered the pinnacle of style in a horizontal cut and have a high cost. These fur coats are made from sheets of mink fur, which are laid out crosswise. This is how mink coats “look like sable” are created. The transverse stripes look three-dimensional, which is why they appear sable. Many fashionistas dream of such luxurious fur coats.
Combination
The combination of mink skins and fur of other animals is also quite popular in recent years. Tandem mink and sable fur are actively used when sewing fur coats. Such products with a sable hood have been popular at all times, not only due to their special aesthetics, luxurious appearance and special charm, but also due to their high thermal insulation properties and high moisture resistance. Mink outerwear is distinguished by its nobility and subtle aristocracy, which is why it is so highly valued by fashionistas all over the world. Look at the following photos to appreciate the beauty of such clothes with your own eyes.
Today, thanks to the development of technology and excellent equipment, wardrobe items made from valuable fur are becoming more and more accessible.
Harmonious contrasts: colors
Mink fur comes in different shades. In stores you can see blue-black, gray-blue, chocolate, caramel-red fur coats. Dark brown products are in particular demand. Fur coats in blue and gray tones are distinguished by elegance and tenderness. Delicate light versions of mink look very beautiful. A fur coat with a violet sable hood looks simply gorgeous. This is one of the most striking options. Often there are mink coats in the color of sable (brown tone with gray hairs and streaks).

Features and Benefits
Such practical fur as mink and lynx will serve its owner for a long time. Mink fur is resistant to moisture, does not shed, does not discolor or dry out, so it is used as the basis of the product, and lynx is used as a finish. In addition, mink is cheaper - these animals are specially bred for the production of fur coats. But the extraction of lynx skins is possible only by hunting, for which you need to obtain a license, which is not issued to everyone. Difficulties associated with the extraction of skins affect their cost.
The value of using lynx fur for fur coats also lies in the fact that exclusively the abdominal part of the skin is used for finishing. The length of the pile there is about 8 centimeters. The lynx looks amazing, thanks to its unique spotted coloring - the dark ends of the hairs on a light background decorate the delicate mink in an original way. The natural beauty of this fur does not require dyeing or tinting. Its wear resistance is determined by the habitat of animals, so the item will serve as excellent protection from cold and wind. And if necessary, it can be sent for restoration.

“Cross-section” sable color
A sable-colored mink coat, as a rule, is a model popular today with the original name “cross-section.” It is implemented in a non-traditional assembly of the product and involves stitching fur pieces not longitudinally, as in classic models, but transversely. As a result, due to the visible joints of mink skins, an original pattern is formed. Actually, it makes the fur coat truly spectacular and worthy of the attention of the fair half of humanity.
However, a sable mink coat is not only aesthetics, but also excellent consumer qualities and performance properties. The skin of this fur-bearing animal is very warm, so it is unlikely that you will freeze in such a fur coat. In addition, if the sewing technology is followed, the product acquires a long service life.
