Colouring only comes into question if the natural skin is severely discoloured. Colouring thus saves the skin from being discarded, ensuring sustainable production.<\/strong> A beautiful natural skin will never be coloured if there is no need for it. <\/p>\n 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 regarding sealskins. Only Inuit-hunted sealskins are approved for sale, production, and import into the EU. See more here on Ringed seals: By nature, the ringed seal is 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 varies greatly but is always decorative. Ringed seals are available in both long-haired (LH) and short-haired (KH).<\/strong> The long-haired has a more furry appearance, while the short-haired is flatter. Furthermore, the short-haired ringed seal is significantly larger than the long-haired.<\/p>\n <\/strong>Decorative or handicraft skins? Sealskins are extremely decorative. Can be used as, for example, rugs, as 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. NOTE: <\/strong>All our skin product photos here in the webshop are taken from B & C skin qualities. The sealskins are all unique and can therefore vary in both size and colour shades within the same quality group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Quality descriptions:<\/strong> A, B, C, D, E and rejected.

<\/strong>The ringed seal is also known as a netside, and it is probably the seal most people associate with Greenland. Its distinctive markings along its back have been seen on Inuit traditional clothing for hundreds of years, and today the skin is still used for both clothing and interior decor.<\/p>\n
