We support "FUR BEARIER" Foundation
In Canada, hundreds of thousands of animals are killed every year for their fur. Fur-bearing animals are either bred into industrial fur farms across the country or are trapped in wild, urban, and private settings. We stand firmly against these cruel practices and urge you not to purchase any fur that comes from animals killed for it.

FAQ
Reindeer hide care?
Given the hollow nature of the hairs, reindeer hides are best kept out of high use and high traffic areas to prevent shedding. They also should not be placed in the front of a fire or high heat source since extreme heat or drying of the hide will cause the fur to shed and moult. Vacuum the hide but use a brush accessory and do be gentle with it. A shake outside is recommended.
Are you hides ethically sourced?
Black Sheep (White Light) hold ourselves to a high ethical
standard in sourcing our animal products. Most crucially: no animal is
killed primarily for our products.
All of the hides that we sell are
bi-products of the meat industry, thus maximizing the utility of each animal
while reducing the potential waste associated with this primary usage.
The reindeer hides are raised by the indigenous Lappish
peoples of Finland. This relationship dates back centuries, where the animals
have been farmed for their milk and meat, their hides used for clothing and
blankets to keep warm in the chilly northern winters.
Important considerations when purchasing natural hides?
When looking at reindeer hides it is important to remember that as this is a natural product which has not been treated with harsh chemicals and coatings (colors) vary between every hide. If you are purchasing a reindeer hide which is promised to be an exact standard colour and size, then this should act as a warning sign regarding the production. All our hides are ethically sourced and are a biproduct of the meat industry. If you are looking for a specific size or colour of hide- please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us and we would be happy to find you the perfect hide and send you pictures of availability to choose from.
