Ah, this magical world of women's most cherished dreams! One of the most coveted objects, without a doubt, is a mink coat. And not just any, but the Black Lama. Without even knowing all the features and distinctive characteristics, each woman is sure that she wants her. What's so special about her? Everything!
Mink is the most valuable and sought-after raw material in the world. Silky and elastic outer hair of approximately the same length and a dense uniform underfur are characteristic of this type of fur. Breeders of many countries breed hundreds of breeds of different colors and characteristics for the sake of a fastidious and demanding consumer represented by the beautiful half of humanity. The undisputed leader in the pursuit of excellence for over a century is the Black Lama brand.
Black glamor
This is how the transcription of this enchanting phrase looks like. In the original, the name was created in two parts: BLACK - black and GlaMA - Grate Lakes Mink Association (Great Lakes Mink Association). It turned out very glamorous, as evidenced by that galaxy of the greatest stars of show business, who took an active part in the grandiose advertising program in the distant forty-first year of the last century.
As a reward to stars of such a scale as Barbara Streisand, Bett Davis did not even have to change clothes, because the luxury item remained on her happy owner. You can buy these skins at the American legend cooperative auction in Seattle.
Fur, mezdra, tailoring. Evidence of uniqueness
Not all North American mink skins become owners of this name. Only carefully selected, meeting all requirements, fall into this category. The percentage of such fur is very small. About a hundred Black Lama mink products are produced worldwide in a year. Not surprisingly, the price of them can not be called democratic. Only a select few can afford such a luxury.
The color should be black with tints from dark chestnut to gray. Such an effect cannot be provided by any modern method of coloring and tinting. The outer hair is short, flush with a thick and stuffed underfur. Walking in the cold, you will not freeze. The fur does not have a characteristic luster, matte, like velvet. The mezdra is white or cream, elastic, light, but dense. You don’t need to be a professional to admire the special mesmerizing beauty of a black “diamond” and distinguish it from the rest.
A manufacturer proud of a legendary product issues certificates and special labels to verify authenticity.
Price per brand? Or is it still a guarantee fee?
Like any exclusive, the Black Lama mink coat was not and never will be. First of all, this thing not only testifies to the impeccable taste of the owner, but also emphasizes its status. And the manufacturer of the "luxury" segment, protecting first of all its reputation, will never consciously offer low-quality goods.
In turn, the quality of such a fur is so high that it can withstand more than one dry cleaning. In addition, the product can be repeatedly redrawn. Pleases with its magnificent view up to ten seasons, without changing quality indicators. And the actual service life is up to 25 years.
Identify a fake? Easy!
You can check the originality of the product proposed by the seller by the label sewn on the shelf of the fur coat. The brand name is depicted in black letters on a white background , and an identification number is applied from the end, by which you can find out the authenticity on the official website.
On the back of the sewing tab there are three stripes: red, yellow, blue. Moreover, now on the label under ultraviolet light, you can see a hologram of blue characters in the form of the name of a unique fur.
It happens that not very honest factories, acquiring several skins at the auction, sew such labels on all their goods, deceiving buyers. In this case, you can expose the "merchant" for certain signs:
- If the lining is sewn to the hem, then this is a clear sign that under it is hidden mezra or with traces of tinting after painting, or poor-quality tailoring.
- The real Black Lama fur is so thick that, having blown on it, it is impossible to see the white base. Otherwise, this indicates a fake.
- If you pinch the fur and pull, there should not be any lint in the hand. Also, it is recommended to rub the pile with a damp white handkerchief. There was a dark spot - you should refrain from buying.
- If you hold your palm against the coat, the perfect fur, like silk velvet will take its former form, and the “pretending” will give itself out, disheveled.
- You can recognize a real fur coat at a cost. A short product will cost approximately 3000 y. e. A long coat with a hood of about 10,000. e. If they offer to pick up cheaper, then this is a fake.
Features of the choice of style
This type of mink is so self-sufficient that it does not imply any intricate cut. Although eminent couturiers of the entire fashion world tirelessly experiment in creating their collections using chic fur. Looking for a black Lama mink coat, you can count on classic styles:
- Fur coat with a straight cut, with a slot in the back or with cuts on the sides, often with a belt.
- Swinger flared down. The floor length is especially impressive. It goes to almost everyone, especially tall ladies.
- Jacket. Loose fit. Convenient for auto-ice. Youth style.
- Cocoon. The skins are across. This form is not suitable for full and short women. Mostly an option for the young.
Perfect hat
It all depends on the style of the coat. If this is a youth model that combines even with jeans, for example a jacket, then you can safely choose a suitable knitted hat. A classic straight fit or swinger is perfect when combined with a scarf. Fur hats can also be used to create a stylish look. But here it is important to be guided by the advice, if not of a professional, but of a person whose taste can be trusted.
The market offers a large selection of mink products of different quality, color, style, any price category, but, having weighed the pros and cons, any woman with the funds will certainly opt for the Black Lama fur coat. This is not a theorem, but an axiom.
