If natural, dark mink has a distinctive brown cast to it. Look at the piece flat. The brown should be evident. Not too red, not to gray, not too blue. Rich, evocative, ethereal.
Beautiful mink has clarity.
Look for a dense, plushy, creamy, delicate touch. Often made skin on skin or grooved, sheared mink has quickly earned a place amonst the most sensual of fashions. Understated and elegant, sheared mink has it's own allure. We prefer to use male mink for timming our cashmere, making hats, scarves or shearing to make liners for silk raincoats. Our mink coats are made from female skins only.
