Frequently Asked Questions

Why is black mink considered one of the warmest natural furs?

Mink features a dense underfur that traps body heat naturally while blocking cold winter air. At Marc Kaufman Furs we have worked with mink for generations and it remains one of the most reliable natural insulators available.

How durable is black mink compared to other luxury furs?

Mink is one of the most durable luxury furs and can last decades with proper care. Its strong guard hairs and resilient leather make it a practical option for regular winter wear. We are based in New York City, serving Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, with nationwide services available.

Does black mink fur maintain its texture over time?

With proper professional cleaning and glazing, mink retains its silky texture and natural shine for many years. Regular maintenance helps preserve the natural oils within the fur.

What makes full-skin black mink different from pieced black mink?

Full-skin mink coats are constructed from larger, continuous sections of fur which creates a smoother appearance and stronger structure. Pieced mink uses smaller sections and is typically less durable. We are based in New York City, serving Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, with nationwide services available.
