Professionally eco tanned. Eucalyptus washed with a beautiful still subtle lanolin oil present.
The Journey:
These Southland sheep skins were going too the ground so my dear friend Nick bagged and de-dagged them and carried 5 onto the ferry to the north island to safely pass onto my hands. From there I found an eco friendly tanner to team up with and he sheared his talent. Tanned and Stamped by Birchham's buckskins and fine furs.
I think it's true wild beauty to still smell the natural oils in the wool and see the colours as they are are. Most sheep skins around these days are a commecial thoughtless process, where they bleech white and pull all oils out. Lanolin oils are frequently used in protective baby skin treatment and extensively in both the personal care (e.g., high value cosmetics, facial cosmetics, lip products) and health care sectors.
