Our ethically and responsibly sourced sheepskins and reindeer hides.
Thank you for visiting our store! Here, you'll learn more about our practices and beliefs.
For years we have been on a mission to find the perfect sheepskin—one with a distinctive appearance, soft and fluffy yet durable enough to withstand heavy use. Merino and British Long Wool didn’t meet our wishes. New Zealand and Australian were not long enough.
Then we discovered Icelandic sheepskins, and we were blown away!
Native to Iceland, these sheep produce hides with long, shaggy wool that’s incredibly soft and undeniably luxurious. Icelandic sheepskins lead the way in softness. Their velvety texture wool creates a plush and luxurious feel that is hard to resist.
We ONLY offer real sheepskin rugs, a natural byproduct of the farming industry, making them a sustainable choice for your home. We import all our skins from Europe: Iceland, Sweden, Finland and our cow hides come Argentina and we only work with handful ethical producers (literally - 4!), who share the same vision – no animal is killed primary for our product.
If you have a pet—be it a cat or a dog—they’ll likely claim our sheepskins right away, drawn to its natural warmth. You might find it a bit challenging to get it back! 😊
We greatly appreciate your patronage!
In the past few years, we have been actively sourcing new select natural design products from around the world to compliment our existing offering.
We're very excited about what we have found and hope you will be too.

One of the rarest breeds - Gotland sheep
In 2015 we introduced Icelandic Sheepskins to North American market but we didn’t stop there – we wanted CURLS! After extensive search among enormous number of sheep breeds - we found GOTLAND sheep and it completely amazed us!
Native to Gotland Island, where Vikings established this breed, Gotland sheep have been selectively bred over the past century to be hornless and produce some of the world’s most sought-after pelts.
Gotland sheepskin maybe will be the most expensive sheepskin you will ever purchase - but it also will be the purest!
We are committed to only offer ethically sourced skins. All our sheepskins are a byproduct of the meat industry, meaning that we only buy skins that are coming from local famers, who slaughter sheep for meat.
Every Gotland sheepskin we sell comes from a small Swedish Tannery located in a town of just 15,000 people. The Tannery owners are sheep breeders themselves, deeply knowledgeable about how to support the industry sustainably. If these skins aren’t purchased by sheepskin enthusiasts like us, they end up rotting in landfills. By purchasing a Gotland sheepskin, YOU are supporting sustainable practices!
Gotland sheep are raised with love using traditional free-range practices, and their pelts are tanned without the use of harsh chemicals. Sweden’s environmental laws are among the strictest in the world, ensuring you receive a sheepskin produced in a non-toxic environment with minimal impact on nature. These amazing throws are crafted to last a lifetime.
