A fluffy hat in cream mink, built as a fur hood: a smooth band frames the face, and from the crown the fur falls in long soft strips all the way round. Beneath runs a black scarf with a white lace-like print, ending in two cream mink pompons. The same fabric shows between the strips and lines the hood. One size, comfortable to about −15°C, handmade in Ukraine.
Soft mink fringe over black lace. Hard to overlook.
A Furry Hat With Mink Strips All Around
On our other strip hoods, fur divides only behind the head. Here it goes further: the strips start high on the crown and hang around the whole head, so from any angle you see a soft fringe of cream mink with dark print flashing between. It moves when you walk and makes the hood look lighter and more playful than a solid fur shape. The face itself stays framed by an even band of mink, so the front view is calm and clean.
Black Lace Print Under Cream Fur
The scarf fabric is black with a white ornamental pattern of curls, flowers and fine lines that looks like lace laid on dark cloth. Against it the cream mink glows, and the contrast gives the piece a dressy, slightly vintage mood. Worn over a black coat it reads elegant; over camel or grey it becomes a bold accent. One pattern is plenty; let coat, gloves and boots stay solid. For quieter shapes in mink, see our mink hats.
Wearing the Scarf and Pompons
The scarf runs through the hood like on all our models. Wrap it once and the two pompons rest at the front; leave it loose and they hang at chest height on either side. With print visible in the gaps, this hood is lighter and rated to about −15°C. For deep frost, our mink ushankas cover more.
Sizing
White is the listed color; one size. It suits most adults; wrapping the scarf adjusts the closeness.

Questions People Ask
Why is the mink cut into strips instead of one piece?
For look and lightness. The strips create a soft fringe that sways with every movement, and the dark print between them gives contrast you wouldn't get from solid fur. Splitting the mink also makes the hood lighter on the head. The trade-off is warmth: it suits frost to about −15°C rather than deep cold.
Do the strips tangle or twist when worn?
Not in normal wear. Mink has smooth, dense fur that doesn't knot, and each strip hangs from the hood under its own weight. After a car ride or a crowded bus, give the hood a gentle shake and the strips fall back into place. Brushing along the pile once in a while keeps them neat and separate.
Is the print lace or fabric?
It's printed jersey, not real lace. The white ornament is printed onto a black knit so it looks like lace from a distance but is smooth, soft and stretchy to the touch. Nothing can snag on it, and it won't tear the way delicate lace would at the neck. The print also keeps its sharp edges season after season.
How does it compare with the other cream hoods?
All three pair cream mink with a dark print and two pompons. The branch-print and navy floral models have solid sides, with strips behind only. This one has strips all around the head, so it looks fluffier and more playful, with a lace-style print that feels dressier. Warmth is the same, about −15°C.
Does it work for a festive evening out?
Yes, it suits festive evenings well. The cream mink fringe and black lace print look dressy over a black or velvet coat, and the pompons add a playful touch. At the venue, lower the hood onto your shoulders and it becomes a soft fur collar. Pair it with pearl or crystal earrings and dark lipstick for an evening look.
Will the strips get caught in a coat zip or bag strap?
Rarely. Mink slides rather than snags, and the strips rest on top of the scarf instead of hanging loose. Bag straps worn over the shoulder can press on the back strips, so a crossbody or hand-held bag is kinder to them. When zipping a coat with a high collar, hold the scarf aside for a second to keep the fur clear of the teeth.
Can I wear it without wrapping the scarf?
Yes. Leave the scarf hanging open and the hood sits loosely, with the two pompons swinging at chest height and the print framing the neckline. It's a softer, more relaxed look for milder days or short trips outside. In wind or frost, wrap it once so the throat is closed and the hood stays put.
Where do I keep it so the fringe stays straight?
Hang it on a rounded hat stand or lay it on a shelf with tissue inside the hood, so the strips fall naturally without being bent. Cover it with a cotton bag and keep it in a dark, cool wardrobe. Avoid squeezing it into a full drawer; folded strips can take a while to straighten again.
