Price of a Mink Fur: How much does a mink fur cost?
Mink fur prices can depend on several factors, such as:- Type of fur
- Quality of fur
- Made in Italy
The type of fur certainly affects the cost of the mink fur, as there are different types of mink with different costs. Surely a demi buff mink or brown mink will have a lower cost than a sapphire mink or a gray mink. The quality of the fur is another very important factor as many producers try to buy poorer quality or not good at working and offer competitive prices to deceive customers. A fur of excellent quality will hardly have an objectively very low price. Obviously the Made in Italy affects the price of the fur. Unlike all the producers made in Turkey, Greece, India and China, the Made in Italy fur is certainly a guarantee of quality, which however has a higher cost. Many sellers also sell used and old furs as new furs at a very low cost. The cost of a fur often also indicates its quality and origin.
How to evaluate a mink fur?
The first evaluation to make is to understand whether the fur we are about to buy is a new mink fur or a used mink fur. When the fur is new we must try to understand the quality of the skins used, whether they are male or female minks and above all the workmanship if Made in Italy. The quality of the skins used is a clear sign to understand the real value of a fur. Obviously a female mink coat will have a higher value than a male mink coat, as it will have more skins and will certainly be softer and lighter. A used mink fur, on the other hand, has a relatively low market value, in fact often the exchanges on the purchase of a new fur are valued very little. Used minks almost always have various signs of wear and almost always a fragile leather that is difficult to work. Certainly evaluating a fur is not a very easy thing to do without the help of an expert at our side, especially when we are talking about used furs or new high quality furs.
