EMBA is the trademarked name of The Mutation Mink Breeders Association. In 1942, a group of mink fur farmers joined forces to form a marketing cooperative. These ranchers specialized in mink fur in clear bright colors to which they gave distinctive trade names. EMBA often bought full page ads in Vogue magazine in cooperation with various designers and manufacturers of mink coats and stoles.

Five of the rarer light colors were: 1. Arcturus - lavender beige, 2. Morning Light - blue beige, 3. Azurene - blue grey, 4. Aeolian - taupe, 5. Tourmaline - pale beige. These colors were all natural, not dyed, and, according to EMBA, each represented less than 1% of the world's mink. The pelts above are photographed with Harry Winston diamonds.

In 1941, a group of mink ranchers centered in the Great Lakes region formed The Great Lakes Mink Association, another marketing designation. The GLMA ranchers developed a unique strain of perfect black mink and marketed them under the trademark Blackglama. Their famous ads feature celebrities wearing Blackglama furs with the tag line, "What becomes a legend most?".

In 1985, EMBA merged with The Great Lakes Mink Association (GLMA) to form The American Legend Cooperative. American Legend is now the trademarked name given to the furs produced by this cooperative. Only the finest quality minks can receive the American Legend trademark status. The American Legend Cooperative uses super models and celebrities in their ads today.

As a weasel you can imagine that I am a fan of keeping fur on my ermine cousins. If I was ever to do a fur it would be vintage. I do have a vintage fur scarf that my mother gave me and every time I go to put it on I just can't do it. But, I am not a hardcore PETA type gal. I get why people love furs, just not my cup of tea.:-)

Oooooh I love vintage furs, especially in pastel shades!

These are so beautiful but I couldn't possibly imagine wearing one I would feel so guilty. Nothing matches their elegance. Carla
