The purpose of this guide is NOT to train technicians on the fur, but to provide clear and detailed information to those who intend to buy a mink coat. The initiative stems from the desire of Alviano fur felt almost like a duty to address its current and potential customers to a more informed choice, and while less important as a consumer of a head fur, giving certain information in the myriad of misinformation; in years we have realized that the consumer is toooften bewildered by pseudo judge or trade rumors.
Alviano fur is a direct importer of raw hides from the world's primary sources, and is active in over 30 years. Our initiative goes inquadrarta part of a project that has its roots in information and stems from the desire to try something even brought in, explain what the Mink, where it comes from, how it is grown, how it gets to become a fur and depends on what the big price gap in the market. Let's start with the presentation of our hero;
The Mink
The mink is a small mustelid from 45 to 95 cm long which is raised mainly in the Scandinavian countries, United States, Canada, Russian Federation, and also, though a far inferior, Italy, China, etc.. Despite differeze geophysical and climatic conditions of these countries the areas in which each of them have been used for farming of mink bear a common feature of all, they are quiet places and nearly always looking the course of a river. To improve the luster, thickness and smoothness of his hair, it is also necessary that two conditions:
-May the temperature for at least 3 months a year are kept constantly below zero.
-What power is treated with a gram, and supplemented with meat, rice, ripe fruit and fish.
The mark and then the ORIGIN
If I were asked a list of technical staff backgrounds certainly draw the most important way:

Norka
Brand that meets the increased production of mink Russians and offers a wide selection of colors and shades with prevalence of the characteristic dark hair slightly longer than the average, and more bristly.

Brands that are most interest to us because you know, for the quality and quantity, are the most important of all, that .....Top the Range Finland and Denmark are the Trademark Saga and Kopenhagen Fur in Furs Alviano is a great speaker for many years, risquotendo a huge success by the clients. To better understand the dimensions of the phenomenon, considering that today two out of three mink fur skins is made from Scandinavia, Finland and Denmark because it offers a wide range of natural mutations, which is combined with a proven and undisputed quality.
THE PRICE
We now face a problem that is certainly among the most heard and shared by farmers, wholesalers and consumers: the price. The price of a mink coat is determined by a number of factors that we want to show you. 've Listed them in order of importance:
ORIGIN - QUALITY 'or CHOICE - SIZE OR SIZE - COLOR - SEX - QUANTITY OF LEATHER USED - MODEL - TYPE OF WORK
ORIGIN
Canada, as we know, is the country which produces the absolute top of Mink although it is a very small percentage (Black Glama). Suffice it to say that in recent years, the auction intenazionali Top Black mink female Canadians have been priced over $ 900 for rough skin, which equates to a cost for fur over well over 60 thousand euro. Let us then by what we see as a trademark the Top is intended to concentrate on a narrow elite and that Scandinavian Mink, technical and professional opinion of the writer, are the best. In 1990, the Scandinavian countries, thanks to production systems, breeding technologically advanced, they have placed well in the market 16,424,000 mink skins earning first place in the world ranking for the quantitative and qualitative production. We are interested in, however, point out that among the Scandinavian mink are in the best Danish quality Kopenhagen Fur Platinum.
QUALITY 'or CHOICE
Before making any purchase we always talk about quality. It 'important to know that for every source there is a qualitative value scale that includes at least 5 different quality levels. The best thing to do anyway is to rely on a retail store that can provide all assurances and clarifications on what you intend to buy. In the case of a mink coat, the discussion should start with very light, Silky ', and highlights that distinguish it. These characteristics depend on the balance between the three basic components of a skin that is:
1 skin (or leather) 2 wad (or woolly coat) 3 jar (or silky coat)
a careful observation of these different layers and their impact will help you understand the differences between the skin of a mink that of a male and female mink. The skin of a mink female usually has a supple leather and subtle, a wad underdeveloped and therefore lighter, a jar very dense and therefore more shining.In the skin of a mink male proportions between the three components are almost reversed, and 'easy to deduce that, if you want to find all the basic features of a great vision that is lightweight, silky, shiny and even more fit, you must pay its attention to the purchase of a mink coat from Danish and Scandinavian Male quality Platinum.

COLOR
The color of a mink coat is a very important element. It, like the brand, takes a different name depending on the origin of the skins. Thus, for example, the reddish brown color corresponds to the "demi buff" Canadian to scan brown "of the Scandinavian countries, to" the unaraine "statunitanse and the" standard "Russian etc ... This makes it clear that the "names" assigned to mink refer to their color and indicate only the different backgrounds and to identify a specific breed ever quality. In the skin of mink, the most important requirement of color is that it is natural and not produced by the dyeing process because with the passage of time between rain and sun, the dye will discolor and riaffiorerà the original color was not homogeneous. This can be verified by examining the scalp skin: it is clear to say that the color of mink is natural or, at best reinforced: if it is dark indicates that the skin has been dyed.The color range is vast and various natural color variations from the breeding of mutations (changes color depending on the season).
SEX
We have already talked about the difference between a male and a mink mink female. It should be noted however that their sizes change significantly the amount of skin to be used and the characteristic of the head, to achieve a particular model. For example, if a mink coat to wrap male "transported" (type of work) it takes 35 skins (average size No. 1), using the female mink (average size No. 3), we need a quantity of skins ie to 40% more.
QUANTITY OF LEATHER, MODEL, TYPE OF WORK
These three elements can be looked at together because one complements the other. As mentioned above, the amount of skin needed to pack a fur is determined not only the sex of the mink, the size and characteristics of the model and the type of work. The choice of the model is, of course, influenced by fashion trends but also on the buyer's personal taste.It then translates into the interpretation of a proposal and must tend to the enhancement of person. In the field of fur, there are many skins that match this type of requirement but the most adaptable to customize are certainly those of the female mink. Regarding the type of work, you should spend a few more words. Firstly it is noted that the confection of a mink coat, despite technological progress, is still a slow, precise and careful craftsmanship. It begins with the cutting and splitting the model. These operations require the highest precision and a thorough understanding of quality, color and texture of leather. The cutter must in fact be able to select them carefully and choose those best suited to each of the parts of the model. Here we are, to different types of work: transportation, with the possibility of split leather and StripLite, working in full leather, half leather, suede to lists interspersed with honeycomb etc.. Transport is definitely one of the best known and most popular works.It consistenel cut any skin in thin strips Herringbone (work for a Top not larger than 5 mm) and sew in a staggered so as to obtain a list of skin to the desired length. The transport is still required even though it was recently, in large part, supplanted by the leather-working intrera best suited to interpret current fashion trends (lightness and softness). This type of processing, used especially for female mink, is to use the skin without the use of open cuts and mending. This allows you to maintain the lightness and softness to create original and prestigious leaders from large, undulating lines.
