Lavender Purple Mink Fur Hat with Hood and Jersey Wrap

Mink Headscarfs & Fur Hoods

Iris mink, a soft violet-grey, covers every part of this lavender purple mink fur hat, shaped as a hood. Below it, pale blue-grey jersey goes around the neck and falls over the shoulders. The face edge is bare mink, and the jersey has no pompons. It comes in a single size, holds warmth to roughly −20°C and is made in a furrier's workshop in Ukraine.

Violet in the light, grey in the shade.

Iris Mink: A Purple That Behaves Like a Neutral

Pure lavender would look like a costume after a week. Iris has enough grey in it to sit next to everyday coats, and just enough violet to make people ask about it. Sunlight pulls out a lilac note; overcast skies turn it into cool periwinkle. The jersey underneath is paler and bluer, so it lifts the color rather than repeating it, and the whole piece stays soft around the face.

Purple Fur Hats and What to Wear Them With

Colored fur hats can be hard to style; this one is easier than it looks. Grey and charcoal coats make it look calm and polished. Navy deepens the violet. Camel gives a warm-cool contrast that feels fresh, and black makes the lavender glow. Pearls and cool metals look right beside it. Skip red and orange near it, which fight the purple. If you prefer a classic shade, see our mink hats in black, brown and grey.

Mink Fur Hood Over Soft Blue-Grey Jersey

The jersey is thin and fluid. For frost, take it once round the throat; on milder days, leave it loose like a short cape. There is nothing scratchy at the neck and nothing thick to wrestle into a collar. With mink across the whole hood, the head and ears stay warm down to about −20°C. For a beret-shaped alternative, look at our mink berets.

Sizing

A single size in the Iris color. Stretch in the jersey lets most adult heads in comfortably; how you wrap the throat sets the fit.

Questions People Ask

Is iris mink purple, lavender or grey?

All three, depending on the light. In sunshine it reads as lavender with a clear violet note. Under clouds or lamplight it reads cooler, grey with a purple tint. It never turns bright or pink. That shifting quality is why it works as a daily color rather than only for occasions.

Is a purple fur hat practical for everyday wear?

Yes, because this shade is muted. The grey in iris lets it sit next to grey, navy, black and camel coats like a soft neutral, while the violet adds interest. It hides light dust better than white or pastel pink. The one thing to watch is light: store it in the dark between seasons so the color stays even.

Can iris mink lose its violet tone over time?

Prolonged direct sun can soften violet tones over time, as with any colored fur. Normal winter wear won't change it. The risk comes from months on an open shelf or near a window. Keep the hood in a cotton bag inside a closed wardrobe from spring to autumn, and have a furrier clean it once a season; the color then stays fresh for years.

How do I wear the jersey part?

Two simple ways. For cold or wind, circle it around the throat and tuck the ends under the coat collar, so the neck is fully closed. For mild days or indoors, leave it unwrapped and let it drape over the shoulders and back. The jersey is soft and stretchy, so it settles on its own and doesn't need pinning or knotting.

Which skin tones look good with lavender-grey fur?

Cool and neutral complexions glow next to it, especially fair skin with pink undertones and deep cool skin. Warm and olive skin works well too if you add warmth near the face: a rosy or berry lip, silver earrings, or blush. Light eyes, especially grey and green, pick up the violet.

Iris or sapphire mink: which cool shade suits me?

Pick sapphire for a quieter blue-grey, iris if you want a hint of violet. Sapphire leans blue, like a winter sky. Iris leans violet, with a lavender note that's more noticeable in daylight. Sapphire suits a mostly grey or navy wardrobe. Iris stands out a bit more and pairs especially well with black, camel and charcoal.

Is this a good gift for someone who loves purple?

A very good one, and a safe way to give purple fur. The grey keeps it elegant, so it won't feel like a novelty after one season. There's no size to guess, since it's one size, and the jersey suits most necklines. Pair it with silver jewellery or grey gloves as a set, and keep the gift box out of sunlight until it's given.

What do I do with my coat's own hood?

Leave it down. The mink hood replaces a coat hood: it covers the head and ears and is warmer. Let the coat hood rest behind the shoulders; the jersey can drape over it. Pulling a coat hood over the mink would press the fur flat and spoil the soft volume around your face.
