Important information about seal skin and qualities:
Seal skins are graded into qualities A, B, C, D, E & rejected skins. “A” skin = top quality (very rare). “E” quality = skin with many flaws. NOTE: All our product photos of seal skins here in the webshop are taken from C or B skins. Color 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 simply write it in the comments on your order, and we will do our best to find a suitable skin – but we do not guarantee 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 to two larger flaws. D-skins can have areas completely without hair or hard leather. E and rejected skins are typically very damaged skins and with discolorations, 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, so “damage” from nature often occurs, 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 skins here:

Dyed seal skin: At Great Greenland, we primarily sell natural skins, but we also dye many skins in popular and fashionable colors. Dyeing only comes into question if the natural skin is severely discolored. Dyeing thus saves the skin from being discarded, so we ensure sustainable production. A beautiful natural skin will never be dyed if it is not necessary.

Decorative or handicraft skins? Seal skins are highly decorative. They can be used as, for example, rugs, or 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 handicrafts.

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 on 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 apt description for the appearance of the skin – it is shiny and soft, and it gleams like silk. The harp seal is primarily used for clothing, but it is also highly decorative for interiors. The harp seal is characterized by its natural gray color and the sporadic spots that are spread over the skin. Some seal skins have many spots, some have few.

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 color nuances within the same quality group.
