Reindeer Hides

An extremely limited offering, these natural white reindeer hides are a product of a recessive gene combination. Only a limited number of these enchanting white hides are collected each season, typically at a ratio of approximately 1 piece per 1000. Most reindeer herders prefer to keep them for themselves, making them even rarer and more exclusive.

Given the hollow nature of the hairs, these hides are best kept out of high use and high traffic areas to prevent shedding.

Size

Width 38-42"
Length 40-48"
1" hair lengths.

Coloration Note

A range hues from snow white to cream with taupe pattering.

Disclosure:

Reindeer hides import is regulated by the US Fish & Wildlife Service.

Any wildlife that is not of North American origin, may require a Designated Port Exception Permit (DPEP) for clearance. FREE shipping does not apply to reindeer hides purchases. 

 

Reindeer hide care

Due to the hollow nature of the hairs, reindeer hides are best kept in low-traffic areas to prevent excessive shedding.

The hollow hairs are excellent at retaining heat, but they can also be damaged if placed too close to radiators, fires, or areas with underfloor heating. Excessive heat can dry out these insulating hairs and lead to shedding.

Please note that some shedding will always occur, as it’s a natural process for the reindeer.

We do recommend keeping the hide in a protected area and avoiding direct heat sources to prolong its beauty and integrity. We also suggest to use reindeer hide more as a decorative object vs functional. Occasional sitting is completely fine, but every day will shorten the hide's life.

In the event of a spill or stain, mix wool-specific detergent with warm water to produce foam. Using foam only (never soak or submerge hide in water – it will harden the back suede), work the foam over the affected area and pat dry with a clean cloth. Shake and leave to dry, finish with a combing.

Alternately, item can be dry cleaned.

Returns

All our sheepskins, chair pads as well as reindeer hides are FINAL SALE. 

For hygienic reasons, we cannot accept returns on items that have been used or handled in personal spaces, and to ensure every customer receives a product in pristine condition, all sales are final.

Based on past experiences, where some clients have used sheepskins for events, photo sessions, and other short-term occasions, we’ve found it challenging to determine whether decor items have been used upon return. To ensure the integrity and quality of our products for every customer, all sales are final.

We understand how important it is to match the color of your sheepskin to your interior design and are happy to work with each client on an individual basis to find the perfect fit - please do not hesitate to reach out with your questions before the purchase! 

We will accept exchanges should you have received the wrong item or a damaged article.

Another reason why our return policy is on hold are incredibly high costs we're inflicted with to clear returns across the Canadian border: all major carriers charge a fee to process our packages back across the Canadian border. For instance, UPS' 'Entry Prep Fee' is a minimum of $35 per order, irrespective of item value, we also have to pay Customs Duties and taxes on our own return - as a small business, we simply can't absorb these fees.

*If you feel that you absolutely have to return our product - please contact us.

Note that all fees associated with the return as assessed and invoiced by the carrier will be deducted from your refund. Please note that any original shipping charges (if applicable) are non-refundable. A 20% administration and restocking fee will apply to all returns. This fee is used to offset the carbon footprint generated with the return and for the responsible disposal of the products. This fee will be automatically deducted from the reimbursement. Processing time of the return is subject to our receipt of the import fee invoice being provided by the carrier.

Thank you for your understanding.

All wholesale orders are final sale, save for quality control issues or damage caused by shipping. 

Shipping

The import of reindeer hides is regulated by the US Fish & Wildlife Service. Any wildlife not of North American origin requires a Designated Port Exception Permit (DPEP) for clearance if entering the USA at a non-designated port.

We are committed to ensuring the seamless delivery of your hide and will always ship your reindeer hide via 3-day air service with UPS (so in enters USA at Designated Port and our customers don't need any additional paperwork).

Due to the higher shipping costs associated with this premium service, we are unable to offer free shipping for reindeer hides.

  • BRAND STORY

    Our brand was born in Canada in 2011. We were the pioneers in importing the highest quality Icelandic sheepskins and Finnish reindeer hides into North America.

    We continue to set the benchmark for these luxurious, eclectic hides.

  • 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 byproducts 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 byproduct 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.
