Hoe to look after a mink coat?

I have been given a beautiful mink coat by an auntie.
it has a minor rip in right sleeve.
My main question is that it is shedding hair on the lapel at the rear ( top and bottom) so much so that has bald patches.
How should i look after it?
why is it loosing hair ?( on touching it the fur falls off , just in this region) The rest of the coat is strong and healthy
Where can I repair it?
I currently live on the Isle of Man UK?
