Should a mink coat be considered a luxury item or not? The question is controversial. Let's look at it from two sides: social and legal. Let's start with the last one.
What lawyers say
It is interesting to consider this issue from a legal point of view. So, if a fur coat costs about 10 thousand rubles, it should not be considered a sign of luxury. And if the price is about 200 thousand, then it’s already chic!
On the other hand, a fur coat is recognized as a thing for individual use. Therefore, for example, when dividing property, the court approaches this issue individually, taking into account how a particular family lived and lives.
What does society say?
Many women dream of a mink coat. It's warm even at -30, and it looks stylish. However, modern realities are such that some girls prefer more practical down jackets. They can also be expensive and look elegant.
In addition, not in all regions of the Russian Federation the temperature in winter drops even below -20.
Will a mink coat give you status? Only if it is beautiful and of high quality! If you purchased a product in a chain store, there is no talk of any luxury. After all, many more ladies will have the same fur coats.
Fashionable or not?
The majority of stylists clearly say that natural fur coats are out of fashion. For several seasons now there has been a trend towards artificial products.
Nowadays, all fashionistas buy the latter, even those who previously preferred fur. At the same time, many artificial fur coats look really impressive. Of course, they can only be worn down to -15 degrees with a sweater. But that doesn't stop anyone.
If you really want a mink option, then only a high-quality one.
- The Russian mink looks untidy, its hairs are coarse, which is why the fur looks a little disheveled.
- Chinese mink provides almost no warmth. Its quality is also so-so. And it's cheap.
- A Scandinavian fur coat would be an excellent option. It shines, the fur is even. The quality is at a high level. At the same time, the fur coat is ideal for the climate of the Russian Federation.
- The most elegant option is Italian mink. It is called that because of its special tailoring. If you have the money, you should choose this one! This is where the real luxury is.
- North American mink looks like velvet. It warms up wonderfully. However, its pile is quite short.
- Products made from wild mink weigh a lot. The fur is somewhat reminiscent of sable. Such a thing is very expensive and is a luxury. To make the perfect fur coat from wild minks, you need to sort through a lot of skins.
Which option to choose is up to you! But remember that artificial products are still in fashion now.
