皮草種類知多少

海豹 SEAL

示範皮張尺寸約40x90cm

Sealskin comes in different types, but the one commonly used for fashion is harp seal. This type can be easily identified by its short, even hair and its almost silky and lustrous surface. Sealskin has a flatter appearance compared to other types of fur, e.g. mink. Sealskin is very durable and offers great resistance to wind and rain.

海豹皮有許多不同的種類，時尚領域最常用的是格陵蘭海豹皮。這種海豹皮的特點是短而齊的毛針和富有光澤的絲綢般的皮板。相比于其他種類的皮草比如水貂皮，海豹皮看起來更扁平。海豹皮非常耐用，抗風雨能力強。

Due to the natural colour variations on both ringed seal and harp seal, strategic pattern placement is required. When dyed in dark colours the surface variations are less visible.

因為斑紋海豹和格陵蘭海豹天然顏色種類豐富，在使用時需要有意識地思考圖案分佈。如果將海豹皮染成深色，皮張表面的花紋變化就不會很明顯了。
