Fur is a large category that can also be divided into mink, fur, or simply "mink".
As a winter warm item, its warmth effect is better than down jackets, cotton clothes, and jackets, but why are fewer and fewer people wearing them now?
Once a smash hit, why did it fall off the altar now?After reading these 4 shortcomings, maybe you won't feel strange~
1. Why was fur a "smash hit" in the first place?
As one of the "Three Treasures of the Northeast", Rolls-Royce, known as the "King of Clothes" and "King of Winter Clothes", naturally has its advantages of being loved.
(1) Good warmth
As a winter item, people naturally value its warmth the most, and at the same time, it will also measure the value of a winter garment.
The fur is made of animal skins such as mink, fox or Persian lambskin, and the internal insulation layer has a temperature-locking effect, which is soft and smooth to the touch, and can be held in low temperatures of mink tens of degrees.
(2) Value preservation
Once, a fur coat cost 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, and some even higher, and some people took out loans to buy it if they were short of money, which shows its popularity.
Although it is expensive, it also retains its value. Ermine can be seen in second-hand fairs and auctions every year, and there are people who come to recycle second-hand mink, if the color, sterilization and other aspects are well maintained, maybe they can be sold for a good price and make a small profit.
(3) The symbol of the rich, the "diamond ring, bride price" of the Northeast people
During the millennium, fur was a luxury, a sweet tooth in the Northeast, and a symbol of the wealthy, and was very popular among the middle class and rich women.
"There was no diamond ring in the love of Northeast people, and the mink coat was the bride price, a symbol of eternity";
"I once sold a fur for a loan of 220,000 yuan, and I saw the love defeated by a mink......
It can be said that a winter without mink is a "poor man", let alone love!
2. Why is fur now "falling off the altar"?
"How glorious it was, how depressed it is now" is not an exaggeration to describe fur.
Why does fur "fall off the altar"? There are mainly these four shortcomings, which are very unacceptable to modern people.
(1) Lost subsidiary value and market positioning
Twenty years ago, the price of fur was 3 or 40,000 yuan, or even higher, but now the price has plummeted 10 times, as long as three or four thousand, let alone the second-hand market, no one wants it.
With the price plummeting, fur has also lost its original subsidiary value and market positioning, from a treasure for the rich to show off their wealth, to a clothing that everyone can afford, and naturally there is no choice.
(2) The production materials are not environmentally friendly
Fur, as the name suggests, is clothing made from animal skins, and the extraction process of its material can be imagined to be cruel.
With the improvement of people's awareness of protecting the ecological environment of animals, more and more people have begun to resist fur, and many designers also use "artificial fur" to replace "animal fur", but the warmth is greatly weakened, which is one of the reasons why many people give up fur.
(3) Affordable, but expensive to maintain
Nowadays, fur costs two or three thousand yuan a piece, although the price is not expensive and affordable, but it is expensive to maintain and very troublesome.
Due to the material, fur can not be washed, hand washed, can only be dry cleaned, and a cost of 300 yuan, with this money can buy a similar down jacket, are you willing to do it?
(4) More cost-effective alternatives emerge
In today's market and economic environment, more people are more inclined to cost-effective clothes when buying clothes, pay more IQ taxes, be cut leeks more times, and wake up.
Like down jackets and jackets can be bought for a few hundred dollars, if the brand has a brand, and the quality has quality, who wants to pay for fur?
3. Summary at the end of the article
Fur, at this stage, there are indeed many people who give up and finally choose substitutes such as down jackets and jackets.
In fact, it's not that fur is bad, but compared to the current market environment and fashion trends, there are indeed certain shortcomings in some aspects, which eventually led to it slowly falling off the altar~
