The perfect piece, created by masterful hands, always lends a breathtaking finale. The guard, or longer hairs should be uniform in height and protrude above the dense underhair by only a few millimeters. Beautiful mink is never wiry or stringy. It must never be glossy of too shiny. A delicate sheen should reflect light with mystery.
Beautiful mink is demure.
It should have body in hand like better linens. Not mushy, not insignificant. When looking at the underside of natural mink, the hide should be creamy. Not too white, certainly not too gray. Beautiful mink has character.
