A little practical information about the shoulder bag:

Materials:

  • Front and back are sewn in Greenlandic sealskin.
  • The bag closes with a good, strong zip.
  • The strap is short and cannot be adjusted. It runs all the way around the bag.
  • Inside, the shoulder bag is lined with fine black canvas.
  • There is a small zip pocket inside the bag.

Colour:

The bag is sewn in several beautiful colours – see photos.

  • a glossy, beautiful natural – harp skin,
  • a lovely red,
  • a classic, glossy black.

All 3 colours are classic and beautiful.

 

Good to know about black and red sealskin:

There are no black, red, green or blue seals in the sea around Greenland.

By nature they are greyish with beautiful dark markings.

But in Greenland we love colours, and so we have found out how to dye sealskin in many beautiful colours.

Black is the most classic and elegant colour, which many people in Europe have fallen for as well.

 

Sizes and Dimensions:

Please note that all measurements are taken on the outside of the bag.

  • Height: 19 cm
  • Length: 29 cm

 

NOTE:

The bag is flat and thin when it comes from the sewing workshop, but can easily expand, so it can hold everything you put into it.

Lining:

Inside, the bag is lined with black canvas

 

The shoulder strap:

is short and wide. It cannot be adjusted.

That means the shoulder bag hangs nicely on your shoulder without slipping down.

The bag sits well under your arm and right by your chest.

Care of sealskin

Daily use and care:

  • Let the skin breathe: Sealskin benefits from fresh air. You do not need to pack it away if you do not use your sealskin product every day.

  • When the skin gets crumpled: If your sealskin product has become a little flat or crumpled, you can make the hairs stand up nicely again by holding it over the steam from a pot of boiling water. (mind your fingers while steaming the skin)

  • Brush with the hair: You can gently brush the skin with a soft brush. Always remember to brush with the direction of the hair (from root to tip).

Water and stains – When accidents happen:

  • Wet sealskin: Caught in a rain shower? Don’t worry! Shake off the excess water and let the skin dry naturally at room temperature.

  • Minor stains: Gently wipe with a firmly wrung-out, soft cloth with lukewarm water. Always wipe with in the direction of the hair growth.

What you should avoid

  • No direct heat: Do not place sealskin on a radiator, close to a wood-burning stove or under a hairdryer. Direct heat dries out the leather back so it becomes stiff and brittle.

  • Avoid chemicals and soap: Never use stain remover, chemicals or household soap on the skin.

  • No airtight plastic: Do not store your sealskin in airtight plastic bags. Instead choose a cloth bag or put it in a dark place, so the skin can breathe.

Bonus info about sealskin - that you didn’t know you needed to know.

Did you know this about sealskin?

We have collected some facts and secrets about sealskin that tell its fantastic story.

History, the Arctic & Sustainability

  • By-catch from the hunters: Sealskin is a 100% natural by-product of the kitchen. It comes from Greenlandic hunter families, where the meat is an important local food source, and where the proud tradition is that the whole animal is used.

  • Recognised sustainability: Both the EU and Greenpeace recognise Greenlandic seal hunting as fully sustainable. The hunt takes place in deep respect for the balance of nature and biodiversity, so the stock remains healthy and strong for future generations.

  • Climate-friendly by nature: Seals live freely in the clean Arctic sea. The material requires neither feed production, farmland nor artificial water supply, which makes it one of the world’s most nature-friendly raw materials.

  • Shaped by nature’s own fingerprint: No two seals have the same pattern or play of colour in their fur. Nature’s variations mean you have a product that is absolutely one of a kind – there is not another like it in the whole world.

Properties & Practical eye-openers

  • Water-repellent by nature: Made to withstand ice-cold seawater, sealskin has a fantastic surface where snow, sleet and water simply bead off instead of soaking through.

  • Generations-long durability: The leather under the fur is incredibly hard-wearing. If you take care of it and let it dry at room temperature (never on the radiator!), a sealskin product can easily be passed on to the next generation.

  • Adapts to you: The leather base is incredibly supple. Whether it is mittens or footwear, the skin quickly moulds itself to your hands or feet for the perfect, personal fit.

  • Love of easy care: Sealskin is surprisingly easy to keep. If it gets wet, simply let it dry at room temperature and brush it gently through with in the direction of the hair – and the fur gleams again.

Kronprinsesse Mary fik skæld ud

Mary was told off - read why

Back when Queen Mary was Crown Princess Mary, she was visiting Nuuk to take part in a large conference on the theme “Violence in the home – a shared responsibility”, and quite undeservedly found herself being told off by some very cross people. The conference was to put the focus on families exposed to violence. […]
