The Reason why Sheepskin is Worth It...

Is Sheepskin Worth it?

Let's talk sheepskin - but hold on a second, is it worth the splurge?

Picture this: you've had a long day, and all you want to do is kick back and relax. Enter sheepskin.

Whether you're snuggling up with a sheepskin throw or rug or sinking your feet into fluffy slippers, the comfort level is off the charts—ask anyone who has a pair already.

Now, let's talk about versatility.

Sheepskin isn't just for winter – oh no, it's a year-round MVP. Thanks to its natural insulation and thermoregulation properties, sheepskin keeps you cool in the summer and toasty in the winter - like having your own personal temperature control. Talking about temperature regulation, do you know why it's great for babies? Here’s why.

Are you tired of flimsy, disposable products that fall apart after a few uses?

High-grade sheepskin rugs throws, and slippers are built to last, standing up to everyday wear and tear. With proper care, they'll last for years, becoming beloved staples.

When sheepskin is tanned it is given a grade – a level of quality based on its quality, size, breed, provenance, welfare and intended use. When you decide on a pair of slippers, a rug or where you buy it from, it is worth taking into account these factors – either with respect to other materials or even another pair of sheepskin slippers.

Sustainability and sheepskin are intrinsic to each other.

Picture this, Sheepskin is a by-product of the meat industry, a lot of which goes to landfill if it’s not selected by tanneries and made into slippers, clothing, functional home furnishings and more. There is a cost to the process of making sheepskin viable for use, it’s not a quick process and you need skilled workers who know and understand how the material works. Ask a skilled cotton or leather seamstress to work with sheepskin without training and they will tell you they can’t.

Meanwhile, other synthetic materials are being developed in huge quantities and used to make slippers and homeware that yes, are cheaper, but also contribute to a vast mountain of fast fashion landfill that takes decades to break down, if at all.

Sheepskin is perfectly imperfect.

You may not get the consistency that you expect from man-made materials and that is what makes sheepskin beautiful. Every skin is different in size and shape, colour, density and feel – each one is different, just like we are and acknowledging the beauty in that individuality shows respect to this wonderful natural material and the animal that it came from.

Let's talk fashion – sheepskin style that is.

Trends may come and go, but natural sheepskin is timeless.

As customers, you regularly get nostalgic talking to us about the sheepskin rug your grandmother used to have, the coat that you REALLY wish you hadn’t donated to charity 20 years ago or even better, the coat you bought 40 years ago that has never gone out of fashion.

Whether you're decking out your living room with a plush sheepskin rug or rocking a classic sheepskin jacket, you'll be making a well-informed choice.

So, there you have it folks – the lowdown on why sheepskin is worth every penny. From luxurious comfort and year-round versatility to its durability, sustainability, and timeless style, sheepskin brings a whole lot of warmth and joy into your life and others.
