Handcrafted Sheepskin Animal Stool from the Alps

Genuine sheepskin is cherished for its extraordinary softness and plush texture. However, with improper care or cleaning, this cozy fleece can become stiff. As the owner of a handcrafted unique piece from our Alpine workshop, you truly value its natural authenticity. To preserve the longevity of these exclusive creations, we have compiled essential tips for gentle care.

Why does the fur become stiff after washing?

Sheepskin naturally contains lanolin. This fatty substance acts as a protective film, keeping the fibers supple and shielding them from dirt. Using water that is too hot or unsuitable detergents strips away this precious wool wax. The result: the fur loses its structure and becomes brittle.

Tips for the proper care of your unique piece

1. Choosing the right detergent: Use only conditioning wool detergents enriched with lanolin to maintain the natural protective film.
2. Temperature and heat: Avoid heat during washing and drying. A gentle drying process, away from direct sunlight or radiators, is crucial to maintaining that signature fluffiness.
3. Prefer hand washing: For our exclusive sheepskin stools, we recommend cleaning by hand as gently as possible, or consulting a professional in case of heavy soiling.

Conclusion

With the right care, your handcrafted genuine fur animal stool will remain a highlight in your home for years to come. Whether as a sophisticated accessory in an Alpine-style interior or as a stylish element in your chalet – we take great care when shipping to France to ensure that you can enjoy your unique piece for a long time.
