Important information about sealskin and qualities:
Sealskins are graded into qualities A, B, C, D, E & rejected skins. “A” skin = top quality (very rare). “E” quality = skin with many flaws. PLEASE NOTE: All our product photos of sealskin here on the webshop are taken from C or B skins. Colour tones vary from skin to skin. Sizes vary from skin to skin. It is NOT the skin you see in the product photo that you are purchasing. Do you have specific wishes for a skin? – then just write it in the comments on your order, and we will do our best to find a skin that matches – but we do not give any guarantees on wishes.

Quality descriptions: A, B, C, D, E and rejected. A-skins have a maximum of two flaws. B-skins can have up to eight flaws. C-skins can have several flaws, as well as one or two larger flaws. D-skins can have areas completely without hair or with hard leather. E and rejected skins are typically very damaged skins and with discolourations, which can only be used for the production of very small items, after which the rest of the skin is completely discarded. In Great Greenland’s own production of finished goods, we primarily work with C and D qualities.

Seals live in the wild, which is why “damage” often occurs naturally, reducing the skin quality. However, this is also what makes each sealskin completely unique! The quality indications therefore tell something about the general condition of the skin. How perfect, or imperfect, the skin is. Read more about sealskin here:

Dyed sealskin: At Great Greenland, we primarily sell natural skins, but we also dye many skins in popular and fashionable colours. Dyeing only occurs if the natural skin is severely discoloured. Dyeing thus saves the skin from being discarded, ensuring sustainable production. A beautiful natural skin will never be dyed if there is no need for it.

All sealskins processed by Great Greenland are caught by Greenlandic Inuit hunters along the coast of Greenland. All skins are tanned at Great Greenland’s tannery in South Greenland. All sealskins comply with EU legislation concerning sealskin. Only Inuit-hunted sealskins are approved for sale, production, and import into the EU. See more here on
EU’s official website:

Ringed seals:
The ringed seal is also called a netside, and it is probably the seal most people associate with Greenland. Its distinctive markings along the back have been seen on Inuit clothing for hundreds of years, and today the skin is still used for both clothing and interior design.

The ringed seal is naturally light grey but has strong dark ring markings along its back, which can vary from light grey, dark brown, to almost black. The appearance of the skin is very varied, but always decorative. Ringed seals are available in both long-haired (LH) and short-haired (KH). The long-haired one has a more furry appearance, while the short-haired one is flatter. The short-haired ringed seal is also significantly larger than the long-haired one.

Decorative or handicraft skins? Sealskins are extremely decorative. Can be used as, among other things, rugs, cushions in chairs or sofas. Only imagination sets the limits. Sealskins behave like other leather goods regarding wear and maintenance. A wonderful material for handicrafts.

PLEASE NOTE: All our skin product photos here on the webshop are taken from B & C skin qualities. The sealskins are all unique and can therefore vary in both size and colour nuances within the same quality group.
