Seal fur is beautiful, durable, and is being used in both traditional and modern ways in fashion and home décor. There’s nothing quite like the striking natural patterns in natural seal fur, or the softness and quality of well-tanned seal leather.

Across Canada, dozens of crafters, artisans, designers, and commercial operations are embracing this natural and versatile textile. If you’re looking for a seal pelt, seal fur boats, slippers, coat, accessories or anything else—including a custom piece—you’ve come to the right place. Below is a starter list of businesses and artisans who work with sealskin, organized by category.
