Reindeer Hide

Reindeer hide rug

A genuine Finnish reindeer hide, ethically sourced from Lapland and selected by hand in our UK warehouse.

Reindeer fur is softer and more plush than you might expect. It has a deep, dense pile that feels closer to luxury velvet than a typical animal hide. It’s also surprisingly warm, thanks to the hollow structure of each hair, which traps air and insulates naturally. It’s the same adaptation that allows reindeer to thrive in Arctic winters.

Every hide is different. Colours range from white and cream through to grey and dark brown, so each one sits differently in a room and works with different interiors. Because these are natural products, no two are the same shape or size. The hide in the photo is the actual one you’ll receive.

Sourced from Finnish Lapland

Our reindeer hides come from the Arctic regions of Finland, where reindeer herding has been part of daily life for the Sámi people for thousands of years. The Sámi use every part of the animal for food, clothing, and craft, and all our hides are a by-product of the meat industry. Nothing is wasted, so you can enjoy your hide knowing it has been responsibly sourced.

Use it anywhere

One of the best things about a reindeer hide is how many ways you can use it. Lay it beside the bed for something warm to step onto on cold mornings. Drape it over a sofa or armchair to add texture and warmth to a living space. Take it camping, keep one in the campervan, or use it as a seat cover that stays warm even in an unheated room. Because reindeer fur is naturally insulating, it works just as well outdoors as it does inside.

Natural character

These animals roam free across Arctic tundra, so you may find the odd scar, a small hole, or patches where the fur sits shorter. That’s simply what a real hide looks like, and it’s part of what gives each one its own character. Some shedding is also normal with deep pile fur, particularly in the first few weeks.

Care advice

Reindeer hides are low maintenance, which is part of their appeal. Shake yours outside occasionally, and if the fur gets flat, a gentle brush with a pet comb or wide-toothed comb will bring it back. There’s no need for specialist cleaning. Just keep your hide away from heat and prolonged sunlight:

• Do not place on floors with underfloor heating
• Do not place in direct sunlight for extended periods
• Do not place directly in front of an open fire
• Do not leave in conservatories

Sizing

Every reindeer hide is a slightly different shape, so we measure each one by length and group them into four sizes. Width varies naturally from hide to hide.

• Small: up to 119 cm
• Medium: 120 to 129 cm
• Large: 130 to 139 cm
• Extra Large: 140 cm+

Please select your preferred size and colour from the available options.
