Created by Richard Rees 

Are you searching for authentic, handcrafted reindeer skin parkas created using traditional methods? My name is Richard, and I’m a professional furrier based in Sweden. With over 30 years of experience, I specialize in reindeer and caribou skin garments. In addition, I work closely with Inuit communities in Sisimiut, Greenland, to help preserve this rare and rapidly disappearing craft.

Why Choose a Handcrafted Reindeer Skin Parka?

Each of my handcrafted Traditional Inuit-style winter parka is made to order using premium reindeer calf hides. These are ethically sourced from Sámi herders in Jämtland, Sweden. As a result, every garment respects the traditions of the land and culture.

Unlike mass-produced winter coats, my parkas are built for extreme cold. Furthermore, they are tailored specifically for each customer. Whether you’re heading into the Arctic or simply want a one-of-a-kind winter coat, these parkas are designed to last for decades.

One of my ¨Reindeer Parka from Outdoor Boys ¨was recently featured on his channel ¨Watch his full experience here Outdoor Boys    .Luke tested it during a rugged winter expedition. As you’ll see in the video, the traditional design performed exceptionally well in harsh conditions. ¨“Luke from Outdoor Boys tested this parka in -26 in Alaska¨

            ´This handcrafted Reindeer Parka, made for Outdoor Boys, was featured in their YouTube video now seen by over 11 million viewers.”
