Morphology

mink + accessory

The meaning 'a fashion item made from mink fur' is directly and compositionally derived from 'mink' (fur/pelt) + 'accessory' (decorative item). This material + object construction is a regular, cross-linguistic compounding pattern in English, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should readily understand the MWE.

Etymology

Mink accessory comes from the long use of mink fur to make small fashion items like stoles, wraps, or hats. People liked the soft, shiny fur and wore these pieces to show style and wealth, so mink accessory now means 'a fashion item made from mink fur'.
