Description
Shopper in salmon skin – a beautiful and practical bag for a busy everyday life.
The bag is designed by Fosaa Design from the Faroe Islands.
It is beautiful and simple, but with enough room for everything every woman simply must bring along when she goes out.
It has a couple of fine extra compartments, which close with a zip.
A small “credit card pocket” has been made inside the bag, which can be closed with a zip.
The place where you can keep your small secrets, what needs to be looked after extra well or simply be easy and quick to find.
On the outside of the front of the bag a practical vertical pocket has been made, which closes with a zip.
There you can put the things you need to get hold of quickly – keys, phone or wallet – and lock them in with a rustic zip.
The shopper is closed with a good, steel-glossy zip, so you can make sure no uninvited fingers get down into your bag.

Care of fish skin
Daily use and care:
-
Natural protection: The skin is finished from the tanning and has a natural resistance to everyday use.
-
Light wiping: Gently wipe over with a soft, lightly wrung-out cloth to remove dust and let the beautiful structure show.
-
Brush it lightly: If dust collects at the edges of the scales, you can run a soft, dry brush over the skin. Always remember to brush in with the direction of the scales.
-
Care: The fish leather can be refreshed with a good leather balm as needed.
Water and stains – When accidents happen:
-
Water and rain: If the product gets wet, simply shake off the excess water and let it dry slowly at room temperature.
-
Minor stains: Dab (do not rub) gently with a soft, firmly wrung-out cloth with lukewarm water.
What you should avoid
-
No direct heat: Never dry fish skin on a radiator, with a hair dryer or in direct sunlight. It dries out the leather, so it loses its suppleness.
-
Don’t pick at the structure of the skin: Do not bend or pick backwards at the individual scales – let them lie flat against the skin.
-
No strong chemicals: Never use stain remover, solvents or household soap.
-
Avoid tight plastic: Store the product in a fabric bag or leave it standing freely, so the material can breathe.

Do you want to know the story behind fish skin?
We have gathered a number of facts about the material, which will probably surprise some when you tell them about it.
History, Culture & Circular thinking
-
Pure by-catch from food culture: Fish skin is a 100% recycled by-product from the food industry (e.g. from salmon, cod and monkfish). Instead of letting the skin go to waste, it is transformed into an exclusive luxury leather.
- From shoes to exclusive bags: Transforming fish skin into durable shoes and clothing is not a new invention at all. History shows that for decades – and most recently during World War II – the enormous strength of the skin has been used for strong everyday products.
-
1-of-1 unique: Just like human fingerprints, no two fish skins are alike. The pattern and structure from the scales are shaped entirely naturally by nature itself, which gives your product a completely unique surface.
Properties that surprise:
-
9 times stronger than cow leather: Although fish skin feels incredibly thin, supple and featherlight, it is up to 9 times stronger than ordinary cow leather of the same thickness. This is because the protein fibres in fish skin lie crossed over each other instead of parallel.
-
No, it doesn’t smell of fish at all. During the gentle tanning process all natural fat and protein is removed completely. What remains is a perfectly clean, odourless and strong leather that smells of classic quality craftsmanship.
-
Sustainable alternative: By choosing fish skin you support a use of raw materials that does not require extra agricultural land, feed or enormous amounts of water – the material is already there.
-
Beautiful surface structure: The tanning preserves the fine “pockets” and patterns from the scales, which gives the leather an incredibly beautiful, three-dimensional depth and a feel that has to be experienced with the hands.
