Minks belong to small precious fur animals of Mammalia, Carnivora and Skunk in animal taxonomy. In the wild, there are American mink and European mink. At present, all countries in the world are descendants of minks in the United States and Europe. 99% of mink clothing we see is artificially raised. The advantages of artificial raising are that mink is rarely damaged, and the mink is average in size, thickness, fur distribution and color difference after being cooked. In addition, there are considerable differences between the fur of male mink and female mink. The male mink fur is large and rich, which makes it feel heavy to wear, while the female mink is softer and lighter to wear, and uses more. Among them, the female mink has a narrow and fine body, short hair, fine and light hair, long and shiny surface hair, and the finished products are more expensive. As for the male mink and the female mink, generally speaking, it is better than the female mink, but it needs to be selected according to the preferences and design of the purchaser. There are about 15 kinds of mink colors, among which the most popular ones are: this mink, brown mink, brown-black mink, brown mink, silver-gray mink, pearl mink, white mink and black cross mink (with a stripe on the back hair). The size of each mink varies, and the international standard uses "number" to indicate it. No.3 is over 89CM, No.2 is 83-89CM, No. is 77-83CM, No.1 is 71-77CM, No.2 is 65-71CM, No.3 is 59-65CM, No.4 is 53-59CM and No.5 is 47-53CM. Size and above is large mink. The higher the cm value, the larger the Zhang Yue and the higher the price. Now there are also No. leather and No. leather, both of which are large leather sheets. The quality standard of mink skin in Northern Europe is divided into four grades, namely: Crown, Saga, Grade 1, Saga weak belly, Grade 1 weak belly, Grade 2 and Grade 2 (hairy type, bite injury type and diseased hair type). Among them, Crown is the highest level of Nordic mink, with the highest price, sage and Grade 1 are common, and the quality of Saga's weak belly is slightly poor. Some unscrupulous merchants use mink below Saga's weak belly to achieve the same appearance as sage through processing and make huge profits.
second, the origin of mink
at present, the supply of mink raw materials is mainly based on the four Nordic countries and North America. The sales of mink produced in these two places account for 56% of the global mink raw materials; The other 44% is produced by other countries, including sable. The only place of origin of sable is the Commonwealth of Independent States, which is very valuable. Some of them are produced in China, but the grade is very low and the quality is not good. Others are produced in cold countries, but the quality is not as good as that of Europe and America.
in 1954, the Nordic SAGA Furs, an international market development and expansion organization formed by Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden and Nordic countries through consultation, marked the high-quality furs of Nordic origin with "Saga", and only mink or fox with the best fur could be labeled as "SAGA MINK" or "SAGA FOX".
The quality of mink in America is higher than that in Northern Europe. The most famous mink in America is "legendary mink", and the best crown Nordic mink can be compared with American mink.
III. Purchase Process
Every year, the four Nordic countries, Germany, the United States and other mink producing areas regularly auction furs at specific locations. In the international market, the sale of furs is different from that of ordinary commodities, but the reserve price is marked, and whoever bids high will get it. In the auction, businesses that invest less than 1 million yuan have no right to raise their hands to bid. Generally speaking, small companies in China rely on large companies to obtain mink by paying commissions, or several small businesses partner to gather funds together to obtain bidding qualifications. After the purchase is completed, it will be delivered to the country by international freight. The customs tariff on mink is 2%. It is known that there are many smuggled mink in China. Smuggled goods don't mean that the quality of the original leather is not good, but the price is relatively low. If the price difference between the same two mink garments is about 28-25% and the brands are of the same grade, the low-priced goods are basically smuggled goods. In 2, China Customs found a large number of smuggled goods from Tianjin and Shanghai, and there were also a large number of smuggled goods in Liaoning and Guangdong.
iv. processing technology
the processing technology of mink is "piercing the knife". When you buy mink, you can find a strip of edges by carefully touching it with your fingers on a large flat surface, which is the "piercing the knife" technology. "Piercing a knife" is to cut the "mouth" into "llll", that is, to cut a mink into strips the width of a little finger, and then sew it. The sewing is particularly fine, which is much thinner than the embroidery stitches. To do so, it is reasonable to enlarge the skin, but this is not the main purpose; The second is to make the service ... > >
