Tibetan Sheepskin - Off-White Curls

Description

Tibetan refers to the breed, not the place — these come from European farms and trace back to that ancient mountain lineage. Very silky to the touch, thinner than most of our other sheepskins, with glossy off-white curls. Drapes naturally over the form of whatever it's lying on — a chair back, a bench, the end of a bed.

Dimensions: Approx. 42" x 23". Each skin is unique — colour, marking, and exact size vary slightly between individual items.

Why it's here: Sheepskins have been a natural part of rural homes and farmhouses for centuries — draped over benches, layered on chairs, set beside the bed where bare feet land first on a winter morning. We source ours from small independent farms across Europe, where the sheep roam freely and none are bred for their hides; every skin is a byproduct of animal agriculture. They're tanned and finished at some of the oldest family-run tanneries in Europe, by people who've been doing this for generations. We use them everywhere in our own house — draped over chairs and benches, one on either side of the bed, and our little dog Biscuit now refuses to sleep on anything else. She's a diva.

What you're getting: One Tibetan sheepskin in natural off-white with glossy curls.

Care: Natural sheepskins contain lanolin, which keeps them naturally soft and clean — they rarely need a full wash. Day-to-day care is a good shake, a brush with a metal slicker, and a vacuum to finish. Keep away from direct sun, radiators, wood stoves, and damp rooms like bathrooms. Full care instructions are printed on the label on the back of every sheepskin; with proper care, yours should last a lifetime.
