Seal Fur & Leather
Seal skin, both as fur and leather, have been used for thousands of years. Specifically to protect Canada’s northernmost residents from the harshest winter conditions. Seal pelt has a remarkable ability to repel water. It is breathable, but blocks wind and retains heat. Seal skin leather is soft and strong, rugged and elegant and perfect for a multitude of uses.
Proudly Indigenous Certification
All seal fur & leather products sold on the PIC&D online store are certified “Proudly Indigenous”. This means they are harvested by Indigenous communities and/or made by Indigenous crafters and designers. You can rest assured that seal products that are sold on our store meet strict criteria and guidelines ensuring their authenticity, standards of quality and traceability.
