A Mink Blanket is not in fact a blanket which is made out of mink per say. It gets that term from its softness and texture and is in fact usually made out of polyester or a blend of acrylic and polyester. While Korea. specifically South Korea is the country that the mink blanket famous, you can now find good quality products made in China as well. In fact many of the top factories in South Korea have opened factories in China because it just makes more economic sense. While its true that in the beginning China was known for producing sub standard products, over time with the investment in new technologies, many factories in China are now producing higher quality mink blanket then Korea. It is in fact an “old wives tale” that just because the mink blanket was produced in China it must be of poorer quality then the mink blanket produced in Korea. So don`t be fooled by this misinformation.

The mink blanket has evolved tremendously since I first came across them over 20 years ago. The original designs I saw were very simple floral designs and a few simple animal designs. The animal designs and floral designs of today would blow those old designs out of the water. The careful attention to detail which is made possible by the ever evolving technology makes the mink blanket of today look like a work of art. In fact many images used today are reproduced works of art by many famous wildlife artists. In addition to the many woderful floral and wildlife images you see today, you can find many famous faces from the world of entertainment, sports teams and personalities, political figures and many other designs on a mink blanket. The ideas are endless and is what makes the mink blanket such a wide appealing product. It can make a wonderful gift for anyone of any age, whether a baby, teenager of adult. Or you can just splurge on yourself. They can be used on your bed, on the couch, on a picnic, or you can even just hang them on your wall or use it to cover your windows. The uses are endless and in fact with the many that I own I am always getting complements on the none in my house as well as enquireries of where I got them from.
