Best Answer

A mink coat will normally cost $3000 to $15,000. There are American and European minks.

A sable coat will cost much more, typically $30,000 on up to around $300,000 +.

The sable is the most valued and rare of all furs. It is native to Russia and the most valuable fur is that of the winter coat when the fur is darker and longer.

Sable fur is unique among furbearers because it retains its smoothness no matter in which direction it is stroked. The fur of other furbearers on the other hand will give an impression of roughness when stroked in the opposite direction of the grain.

Only extremely wealthy people or some world stars like Madonna have sable on their shoulders. Only top designers like Chanel or Ferre dare to use it in their collections. Generally, sable is combined with high quality fabrics and used for small pieces giving an aristocratic look, such as stoles or for trimming.
