Corporate Social Responsibility

We are aware of our ethical responsibility – both in relation to animals, people and the environment. We believe that the foundation of a healthy company is an ethical and responsible backbone, where working conditions, sustainability and animal welfare are prioritized.

People

Good working conditions

We prioritize fair wages, where no distinction is made between gender, ethnicity, religion or race. Good working conditions with flexible working hours help to ensure a good work-life balance and a high level of employee satisfaction.

Support locally

We work together with several local artists and craftsmen, whose products are sold here on our website. The collaborations support both the artists themselves and strengthen the economy in our immediate area.

Support globally

We want to support different communities around the world. Among other things, our sealskin exclusively comes from Greenland. All our sealskins come from sustainable Inuit hunt, and when you purchase sealskin from us, you support Greenland and the Greenlandic seal catchers. All our reindeer hides are from large, Sámi reindeer herds, and when you buy reindeer hides from us, you also support the Sámi community.

Animals

Avoid waste

We strive to only sell furs and hides from livestock, and in addition to that we also have a selection of leather scraps. In this way, we ensure full benefit of the animals, where neither the meat nor the skin goes to waste. The livestock include both wild and domesticated animals.

Endangered species

We do not sell skin, fur or any other materials from endangered species. All skins that visually resemble the skin of endangered species are embossed cowhide.

Traceability  

We know where our leather, skins, fur, hides, etc. come from and we know living conditions of the animals. Animal welfare and the living conditions of the animals play an important role in our choice of suppliers and partners. We have valid documents on all our animal materials and products, and we know that these come from companies that run their businesses in an ethically responsible manner.   

Planet

Quality

We sell products made from a high quality, which ensures that our products are highly durable. Our products and materials can be used for many years due to their wearing properties, which saves our natural resources.

European products

We purchase many of our products in Europe. Among other things, our hides from domesticated livestock come from European cows. The short transport route means that the CO2 emission and the carbon footprint are significantly reduced.

Tanning and dyeing

We strive to ensure that the leather and hides, we purchase, are tanned as gently as possible. Thus a large proportion of our leather gets tanned with vegetable oils, as these are the most gentle to the environment. The wastewater from both the tanning of hides and from the dyeing of fabrics is treated in closed water systems, where the water gets purified thoroughly.
