Frequently Asked Questions

THE FURUG STANDARD

Every Furug sheepskin is selected for the qualities that make natural wool exceptional—texture, color, character, scale and overall beauty. We source distinctive sheepskins from Europe, including unusual breeds and natural colorations that are increasingly difficult to find. Rather than treating natural variation as something to standardize, we seek out the individual characteristics that make each sheepskin unique. The result is a collection chosen for design, quality and individuality rather than simply matching a grade or color category.

CHOOSE YOUR EXACT SHEEPSKIN

No two genuine sheepskins are exactly alike. Wool length, curl, density, coloration, markings, shape and dimensions naturally vary from one hide to another. Whenever individual options are shown, the sheepskin you select is the exact one you will receive. Each is individually photographed and identified so you can compare the actual characteristics of your piece before purchasing.

NATURAL CHARACTER & VARIATION

Genuine sheepskin is a natural material, and variations in shape, wool texture, markings, coloration and dimensions are inherent to each piece. These differences are part of the character and beauty of real sheepskin rather than imperfections. Natural coloration can include subtle tonal changes, distinctive markings and variations within the wool that make every hide unique. Individual product photographs provide the best representation of the piece you will receive.

SHEEPSKIN CARE

Sheepskin is naturally resilient and requires relatively little routine care. Gently shake the hide outdoors periodically to release dust and restore the wool, and use a soft brush or wide-tooth comb when appropriate to refresh longer wool. For small spills, blot promptly with a clean, absorbent cloth rather than rubbing. Avoid saturating the hide, machine washing, harsh detergents and direct heat. For significant cleaning, we recommend consulting a professional cleaner experienced with genuine sheepskin and leather-backed hides.
