Important information about sealskin and qualities:
Sealskin is graded into qualities A, B, C, D, E & discarded skins. “A” skin = top quality (very rare). “E” quality = skin with many flaws. 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. The skin you see in the product photo is NOT the one you are buying. 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 suitable skin – but we do not give any 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 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, so “damage” often occurs from nature, which degrades the skin quality. However, this is also what makes each individual 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 comes into question if the natural skin is severely discoloured. Dyeing thus saves the skin from being discarded, so we ensure sustainable production. A beautiful natural skin will never be dyed if there is no need for it.

Decoration or craft skins? Sealskin is extremely decorative. Can be used as e.g. carpets, as cushions in chairs or sofas. Only imagination sets the limits. Sealskin behaves like other leather goods regarding wear and tear 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 regarding sealskin. Only Inuit-caught sealskins are approved for sale, production, and import into the EU. See more here on

Harp Seal/Greenland Seal:

Harp seal is also called Greenland seal or silk seal. The name silk seal is a very apt description of the skin’s appearance – it is glossy and soft, and it shines 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.

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.
