Toscana Lambskins

Toscana sheep roam the Pyrinean Hills in Spain where temperatures are below freezing throughout the winter, afterall there is a considerable amount of skiing in the Pyrinees. Toscana sheep are farmed in the same way sheep and lambs are farmed in the UK, only that they have a larger and more varied mountain habitat.

A Toscana lambskin is in a world of its own when it comes to sheepskins. These are the very top end of the quality scale, the outer wool is long haired and therefore feels and looks like fur, it is truly indulgently soft and gorgeous to look at. You simply cannot beat the stunning long haired fur which is densley packed like wool at the hide surface. The avantgarde Toscana Lambskin Coats have beautiful designer feel zig-zag edges, these are the raw edges of the hide that have been carefully tailored to give a flowing and streamlined edged finish to the coat or jacket at the centre opening and the hem line, and to also create a chic to casual glamourous full lapels and turn back cuffs.

Caring for your Sheep- & Lambskin Jacket or Coat

Caring for your lamskin jacket or coat is fairly straight forward, always handle with clean hands, keepo away from strong and direct heat sources as these can dry them out, store out of direct sunlight and keep in a well ventillated area (i.e. non-damp). You can of course use a protector guard spray that will provide an invisible protective layer, however careful care and handling is still required as the protector spray cannot prevent 100% staining from liquid spills. All natural materials tend to increase in character as they age, and this is also true of lambskins and sheepskins. The secret is to ensure you wear them with pride and enjoy their beauty, suppleness and luxurious feel, you just can't beat!!
