handcrafted on skye with tree bark
Eco-tanned sheepskins
made by nature, enhanced by skyeskyns
We call our own eco-tanned sheepskin rugs the Mimosa Collection. They are mostly Scottish or rare British sheepskin rugs and throws, hand-tanned in small, limited edition batches in our tannery here on Skye, the very heart of our family business. We use mimosa (tree bark) tanning to create incredibly soft, high quality leather in the most environmentally sustainable way possible.

WHAT WE DO
Producing and stocking the highest quality, hand-crafted sheepskins, leather and woollen goods.

Creating beauty from waste
Sheepskins are a waste product of the meat industry and using them in your home means minimising waste and honouring the whole animal. A sustainable alternative to man-made fibres, it makes for gorgeous home interior products. We get most of our skins from a Scottish Highlands abattoir.

Made by nature, enhanced by Skyeskyns
All our eco-tanned sheepskins have been handcrafted in small batches in our traditional tannery on Skye with a deep regard for the raw material and the environment
-
Durability and versatility
Wool is a naturally durable and thermally versatile product that adapts to its environment and your body temperature. Our sheepskins literally last decades and are a beautiful natural accessory for your home.

ABOUT US
41 years ago, Clive and Lydia Hartwell were looking out across the panoramic views here on the Isle of Skye, when they had the idea to find a way to make use of sheepskins that were being wasted locally. Since then we have grown into tanners, makers and suppliers of luxurious sheepskins, home accessories and sustainably-made clothing. Our range includes our own sheepskins as well as a stunning selection tanned in the UK and internationally. You can also visit our tannery and shops on Skye.
