Description

A credit card holder is a must in a busy everyday life.

Today we have money, keys and personal information all stored on small plastic cards.

The little, fine case in Faroese fish and lamb skin is a clear everyday favourite.

It is practical to gather the most necessary cards in a small case, so they are always ready when you need to dash out of the door.

and it is also easier to pull a card out of your pocket when you have to pay at the supermarket, rather than standing there fumbling with crumpled notes and looking for the right amount of small change.

Gather your cards in one place and always have them with you in the fine little credit card holder.

 

Practical information about the Faroese credit card holder:

The small case has a small curved opening at the front, which makes it easier to get hold of your cards.

Materials:

The credit card holder is sewn in a combination of fish and lamb skin.

Both types of skin are from the Faroe Islands, and are by-products from

  • The front is sewn from salmon skin
  • The back is sewn from lambskin, which has a suede side facing in towards the credit card.

 

Colours:

The credit card holder is available in 2 beautiful colours:

  • natural salmon skin – i.e. you can see the salmon’s natural markings and colours
  • black salmon skin

Whether you choose the fine credit card holder in black or natural, you can see and feel the structure of the fish skin and enjoy the soft lambskin and its suede side.

 

Dimensions:

The credit card holder is sewn to the dimensions of a credit card and therefore measures:

 

  • Length: 9 cm
  • Height: 6 cm

 

The little case can expand, so you can easily fit 4 – 5 cards in it.

 

NOTE:

The little credit card holder is sewn by hand and therefore the measurements may vary a tiny bit from case to case.

 

Designed by:

The sewing workshop Fossa Design from the Faroe Islands.

They specialise in making beautiful designs from the natural materials they have on the Faroe Islands.

In the past the skins were discarded and only the meat was used, now everything from the animal is used.

Creative craftspeople and seamstresses now make lovely bags and delicious knitwear from the Faroese natural materials.

 

Suggestion for your wish list:

You can add the belt bag in salmon skin to your wish list.

Tell your friends and family what you want, and that they can get gift cards at Sika-mut, so you can choose what you want yourself.

 

Thank you for your interest.

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.
