Black Sheep of the Industry

Preserving Nature’s Beauty.

Your Story Matters.

Your hides are not worthless commodities. They transpire from an animal with a life well-lived, tended with the upmost care. Together we continue the journey of honoring the whole animal without the use of harmful chemicals.

Like you we care about the environment.

OUR PROMISE

Living Sky Tannery is located on farm in Indian Valley, Idaho, We take pride in our tanning and finishing processes that bring out the natural beauty and durability of animal hides. The entire process is completed by our own hands with meticulous care and attention to detail, resulting in washable durable rugs that stand the test of time. Our methods are gentle and our footprint small. We look forward to working with you.
