Fish Leather: Bark tanned Fish skin (Fish skin species depends on what is in stock)
Reindeer Leather – Tanned leather colour varies depending on what is in stock.

The fish leather is made from fish skins that would otherwise be discarded. The fish leather has been naturally vegetable tanned using tree barks.

Reindeer leather is a precious commodity that is difficult to source. Most of the reindeer hides are used by the Saami people for their own clothing and personal use. I am only able to purchase the reindeer leather in small quantities that are sold as scrap leather. I hand stitch the small pieces together in order to make purses, pouches, reindeer bracelets and other items. Nothing is wasted.

All products are now sold through my PAIVATAR – FOLKSY SHOP.
