Who we are

Nestled in the heart of Oregon's Willamette Valley, Heartfelt Pelts is a small business dedicated to reviving the ancient art of organic tanning. We specialize in transforming salvaged sheep pelts into unique, heirloom-quality hides, each one carrying its own story. Our tanning process is 100% natural— using only eggs, oil, brains, bark and smoke —we create unique textiles and beautiful, one-of-a-kind pelts with varying textures, colors, and feel. These differences are all a testament to the earth’s hand in the process and a reminder that each hide is as individual as the animal it came from.

When we source these hides from local butchers, we honor the animals and contribute to a sustainable future, offering life after death for pelts that would otherwise end up in landfills. Heartfelt Pelts is more than just a business—it’s a way to honor the sheep, the earth, and the generations before and after us. Every piece we craft is a tribute to reciprocity and respect for the natural world, designed to bring warmth and connection into your home.

When you choose Heartfelt Pelts, you're not just purchasing a product—you're supporting a movement towards more mindful living and honoring the animals who grace our lives.
