Important information about seal skin and qualities:
Seal skin is 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 seal skin here in 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 special requests 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 do not give any guarantees on requests.

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-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 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 wild, therefore “damage” often occurs from nature, which degrades the skin quality. However, this is also what makes each individual seal skin completely unique! The quality specifications therefore tell something about the general condition of the skin. How perfect, or imperfect the skin is. Read more about seal skin here:

Coloured seal skin: At Great Greenland, we primarily sell natural skins, but we also colour many skins in popular and fashionable colours. Colouring only comes into question 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.

Decoration or craft skins? Seal skins are highly decorative. Can be used as, among other things, rugs, as cushions in chairs or sofas. Only imagination sets the limits. Seal skins behave like other leather goods regarding wear and maintenance. A wonderful material for crafting.

All seal skins 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 seal skins comply with EU legislation concerning seal skins. Only Inuit-hunted seal skins 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 fitting description for the appearance of the skin – it is glossy and soft, and it shines like silk. The Harp Seal is primarily used for clothing, but it is also highly decorative for interior design. The Harp Seal is characterised by its natural grey colour and the sporadic spots that are spread across the skin. Some seal skins have many spots, some have few.

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