Important information about sealskin and qualities:
Sealskins are graded into qualities A, B, C, D, E & discarded skins. “A” skins = top quality (very rare). “E” quality = skins 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 simply write it in the comments on your order, and we will do our best to find a suitable skin – but we offer no guarantees on wishes.

Quality descriptions: A,B,C,D,E and discarded. 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 hard leather. E and discarded skins are typically very damaged skins and with discolouration, 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.

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

Coloured sealskin: At Great Greenland, we primarily sell natural skins, but we also colour many skins in popular and fashionable colours. Colouring only comes into consideration if the natural skin is severely discoloured. Colouring thus saves the skin from being discarded, ensuring sustainable production. A beautiful natural skin will never be coloured if there is no need for it.

Decorative or craft skin? Sealskin is extremely decorative. Can be used as, among other things, rugs, as cushions in chairs or sofas. Only imagination sets the limits. Sealskin behaves like other leather goods in terms of wear and maintenance. A wonderful material for crafting.

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

Harp Seal/Greenland Seal:

The Harp seal is also called the Greenland seal or silk seal. The name silk seal is a very apt description of the skin’s appearance – it is shiny and soft, and it glistens like silk. The Harp seal is primarily used for clothing, but it is also extremely decorative for interiors. The Harp seal is characterised by its natural grey colour and the sporadic spots scattered over the skin. Some sealskins have many spots, some have few.

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