Tibetan Lambskin

Natural elegance with Tibetan lambskin

Lambskins from different regions of the world vary significantly in their structure. Some are thick and smooth-haired, others are short-haired and rather shaggy. Tibetan lambskin is one of the most beautiful varieties, characterized by its distinctive corkscrew curls, which give the fur its unmistakable appearance. At the same time, the wool feels velvety soft, making Tibetan lambskin a highlight both visually and tactilely.
Tibetan lambskin unfolds its natural charm particularly well in modern living spaces. The curly structure appears light and exclusive, bringing natural warmth into any home. Whether on a chair, a sofa, or as a decorative detail in the bedroom – a Tibetan sheepskin creates a stylish atmosphere with Nordic charm.

Origin of Tibetan Lambskin

Tibetan sheep live in the vast landscapes of Tibet. This region is known for its sometimes extreme weather conditions, and the animals graze there both in deep valleys and high mountain regions. Over many generations, the sheep have adapted to the harsh climate and developed a light yet insulating coat. It is precisely this special fur structure that makes Tibetan lambskin so sought after today.

Furthermore, Tibetan sheep traditionally play an important role, as the animals are closely linked to the culture and way of life of the region. Centuries of experience in handling sheep are reflected in the careful husbandry and processing of the skins.

Buying Tibetan Lambskin – What are the options?

A Tibetan lambskin not only impresses with its extraordinary appearance but also with its versatile uses. The long, curly wool has an inviting effect and gives the fur a lively radiance. This creates a luxurious look that comes into its own beautifully in both modern and classic interiors. This is precisely why many appreciate Tibetan furs as a decorative, natural home accessory.

Our Tibetan lambskins are available in numerous colors. In addition to timeless shades such as black, white, taupe, or gray, you will also find expressive hues such as navy blue, pink, or red. The furs are dyed with natural dyes, offering a wide variety of design possibilities for your home. Thanks to the dyeing, you can choose two or more furs that have the same color nuances, thereby creating a beautiful overall picture, for example, in the dining room.

Compared to other lambskins, you will find Tibetan lambskins in our assortment in only two sizes, which makes the selection particularly straightforward.

Classic Tibetan lambskin – approx. 85x50 cm

The Tibetan lambskin in the size 85x50 cm is the common variant, which is excellent as a decorative throw for chairs, armchairs, or sofas. The fur also provides additional comfort and a cozy atmosphere on an office chair. In the children's room or bedroom, the fur can also be used as a small rug or decorative element.

Thanks to the many color variants, the Tibetan lambskin can be optimally adapted to different interior styles – from minimalist to playful.

Large Tibetan lambskin – approx. 135x50 cm

In addition to the regular size, there is also the longer variant, measuring approx. 135x50 cm. This fur is also referred to as a 1.5-size fur and is particularly suitable for dining chairs or larger seating furniture. The additional length ensures that the fur stays better on the backrest and simultaneously provides a particularly elegant look. This large Tibetan lambskin also looks extremely decorative on your favorite armchair or a bench in the entrance area, giving the room a warm, luxurious touch.

Regardless of the chosen size, a Tibetan lambskin always brings pleasant comfort to your living area. Although the fur structure appears somewhat lighter than some New Zealand sheepskins, the Tibetan fur still provides pleasant warmth and a cozy seating experience.

How do I care for a Tibetan lambskin properly?

A genuine lambskin is a durable product that requires little care in everyday life. This, of course, also applies to our Tibetan lambskins. However, due to their curly structure, the care differs slightly from that of smooth-haired varieties.

Since our Tibetan furs are dyed, they should not be exposed to direct sunlight permanently, as intense UV radiation can lead to discoloration. Therefore, we recommend these furs for indoor use. The dyeing of the fur is, of course, carried out in compliance with applicable EU directives, and the furs are dyed with natural colors.

How do I care for a curly lambskin in everyday life?

To ensure that the Tibetan fur remains soft and retains its curls for a long time, it should be shaken out regularly. This removes dust and small dirt particles and ensures that the corkscrew curls maintain their airy appearance.

Depending on use, shaking out the fur every one to two weeks is sufficient. Additionally, occasional airing can help neutralize odors – especially directly after unpacking. Covered outdoor areas or well-ventilated rooms without direct sunlight are ideal for this.

Unlike our smooth-haired furs, you should not vacuum a curly Tibetan lambskin, as this will straighten out the curls.

How do I remove stains? And can I wash my lambskin?

Generally, a genuine lambskin should never be washed, as this removes the natural fat substance, lanolin, from the wool. This natural wool grease ensures that the fur remains soft and supple, and therefore, it is often observed that the wool appears flat and lifeless after washing, while the leather side becomes hard.

Smaller stains are best removed immediately with a slightly damp cloth. Gently blot the affected area and do not rub vigorously. If something is spilled on the fur, it is important to remove the liquid quickly to prevent the fur from becoming soaked.

If a more thorough cleaning is necessary, we recommend hand washing with a mild wool detergent with lanolin. Ideally, you should only clean the affected area so that the fur does not become completely soaked. After cleaning, excess water should be gently squeezed out, and the fur then shaken out.

For heavier soiling, professional cleaning is recommended.

What can I do if the curls on my lambskin disappear?

Over time, the typical curls of lambskin may become straighter. This is completely normal for curly sheepskins and can often be easily corrected.

Lightly moisten your hands and gently knead the fur together. Make sure the fur does not get soaked. By re-moistening the hairs, the curls will reform. Then shake the fur well and let it dry on a drying rack with the leather side facing up. After drying, the characteristic curls usually appear much more defined again.
