"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 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 cannot guarantee requests. Quality descriptions: A, B, C, D, E and discarded. A-grade skins have a maximum of two flaws. B-grade skins can have up to eight flaws. C-grade skins can have multiple flaws, as well as one to two larger flaws. D-grade skins may have areas completely without hair or with hard leather. E and discarded skins are typically very damaged and discoloured skins, 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 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, ensuring sustainable production. A beautiful natural skin will never be dyed if there is no need for it. All sealskins processed by Great Greenland are caught by Greenlandic Inuit hunters along the coast of Greenland. 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 in the EU. See more here onthe EU's official website:Ringed Seals:The ringed seal is also known as "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 design.Naturally, the ringed seal is light grey, but it 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). The long-haired variety has a furrier appearance, while the short-haired is flatter. The short-haired ringed seal is also considerably larger than the long-haired one.Decorative or craft skins? Sealskins are extremely decorative. Can be used as, for example, rugs, or as cushions in chairs or sofas. Only your imagination sets the limits. Sealskin behaves like other leather goods regarding wear and maintenance. A wonderful material for handicrafts. 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.
