No two hides are ever the same, making each one a one‑of‑a‑kind piece of Nordic craftsmanship.

Ethical Sourcing
All our reindeer hides are sourced from traditional herders in the Nordic region, where reindeer are an essential part of local culture and sustainable farming. The hides are a natural by‑product of food production and are tanned responsibly to preserve their softness, colour and durability.

- Avoid placing near direct heat sources
- Use indoors only
- Brush lightly to maintain softness
- Spot clean with a dry cloth (avoid water)
