Real Mink Rules began with an idea. While watching television in 2017, our founder Phyllis Smith kept seeing beautiful women posing for pictures on the runway with tiny dogs in their arms. She also noticed that the tiny dogs were shivering. This led her to think about her favorite housewife, Lisa Vanderpump, and her dog Giggy. Even though he is a major celebrity in his own right, poor little Giggy has a medical condition called alopecia that leaves him nearly bald. Phyllis concluded that Giggy needed a new fur coat, a Real Mink fur coat.
