Reindeer skin seat pad

Our hides are nailed and dried in the old traditional way that we have learned from the Sami culture. Each individual hide is nailed up in tension according to the natural shape of the hide where it hangs until dry. It is then scraped and brushed by hand.

 Leather color will vary. Please include your desired color and we will do our best to accommodate your wishes.

 A dried reindeer hide should not be confused with prepared, tanned or impregnated leather. If you are going to use a reindeer hide for outdoor use, it must either be dried or impregnated, we prefer dried as it weighs less and works just as well. To further impregnate dry hides, you can paint boiled linseed oil on the leather side.

 Dried leather is durable and water-resistant. It gives off a lot of heat and weighs little. Works great on winter walks! It takes a lot of moisture over time before the moisture penetrates and is felt on the fur on the upper side. This can be avoided by using another substrate between the leather and the ground.

 Dried reindeer skin does not shed, but the reindeer's hair is hollow and can therefore break. This can be experienced as shedding. It is also important to remember that this is a 100% natural product from an animal. Some people say that dried skin smells a lot, but this can be largely avoided with proper maintenance.

 A dried reindeer hide must be dried well after use. This is done by hanging it up in an airy and dry place under a roof or, for example, in a shed. It must not be stored in plastic for a long time. If you are not careful about this, you will end up with a hide that starts to shed and smell.

 It is important that you follow our maintenance instructions to prevent the leather from turning sour and starting to shed. We check all our leathers before they are shipped. We cannot take responsibility for the product after it has been used. If there is anything that does not look right when you receive it, please contact us immediately.
