The traditional fur making technology in China was formed at the end of Shang Dynasty more than 3,000 years ago. Bi Gan, the prime minister of Shang Dynasty, was the first person to invent the technology of tannery with ripe leather in the history of China. People made the fur of cooked animals into fur coats by salting them with salt, and made them into gorgeous fur coats by "gathering arms to make fur", so the north has always been used to calling it "fur", and Bigan was also regarded as "the originator of fur in China" by later generations.

In the old colony of Shanghai, many Italian businessmen opened FUR shops in Shanghai and marked "fur" in English, but they translated it into "fur" for fear that China people could not understand it, which has been used ever since. So there has always been a saying that Beijing is the center of fur in the north and Shanghai is the center of fur in the south.

In old Shanghai, some Russian Jews opened some fur shops here. At that time, most of them were wild animals, and fur was very expensive. A yellow wolf coat is worth five gold bars. But the temperature in Shanghai is not particularly cold, winter is short and summer is long, so smart Jews sell furs in winter and put them in some straw mats in summer, and then change the name of the store to "Fur Shop". After liberation, many fur companies moved to Hong Kong to serve as apprentices for Jewish fur traders. In order to survive and live, they imitate the original Jewish boss. Although they don't know the true meaning of fur, they are all called "fur companies".

In this way, "fur" went from Shanghai to Hong Kong, and from Hong Kong to the mainland of China. Now, it is customary to call it fur. Calling the fur company now will feel that the grade is a bit low. It is better to call it a fur company.

Mink is one of the "three treasures" in Northeast China, and it is known as the "king of fur". Mink is divided into purple mink and mink. Among them, sable is more expensive, with less output and high price. It has the reputation of "the king of fur", so it becomes a symbol of people's wealth. It is called "soft gold" abroad.

Mink skin has three characteristics: "The wind in Mao Mao keeps the skin warm, the snow disappears, and the snow in Mao Mao does not get wet". Mink belongs to fine fur fur, with excellent leather board, soft and firm, rich plush and smooth color. In particular, its dark brown fur hides uniform white needle hair, which is what experts call "hiding needles in ink". Because of its gorgeous appearance and strong warmth, mink is listed as the top grade or the best for making high-grade leather clothes.

Sable hair (needle hair) looks good, while mink wool (bottom hair) keeps warm. They are two inseparable parts of the mink and cannot be compared separately.
