Why Choose Sheepland? British Sheepskin Slippers and Rugs Since 1986
When you buy real sheepskin, you are not just buying something soft and warm. You are choosing heritage, material, skill and values.
Sheepland is a family-run British sheepskin company established in 1986. From Somerset in the South West of England, we specialise in authentic British sheepskin slippers, rugs, pouffes and accessories made using traditional techniques and responsibly sourced fleeces.
If you are searching for genuine British sheepskin slippers, handmade sheepskin booties, undyed sheepskin rugs or rare breed fleeces, here is what makes us different.
A Family Sheepskin Business Since 1986
Sheepland began nearly four decades ago with a simple belief: real sheepskin, when properly sourced and properly made, is one of the most practical and beautiful natural materials available.
Since 1986, we have been working with sheepskin in Somerset. Some of our core designs, including our Luxury Sheepskin Bootie, have been handcrafted in the same traditional way for decades.
We are not a trend-driven brand. We are a long-standing countryside business built around skill, consistency and quality.
When customers search for “British sheepskin slippers made in the UK” or “family-run sheepskin company”, we want them to find something genuine. That is who we are.
Handmade Sheepskin Slippers in Somerset
Many of our traditional sheepskin slippers are handmade in Somerset using double-faced sheepskin and time-honoured construction methods.
Our Luxury Bootie has been in continuous production since the 1980s. The pattern has stood the test of time because it is designed for warmth, durability and comfort rather than fast fashion.
Each pair is cut carefully, stitched securely and finished by experienced hands. Real sheepskin softens with wear and moulds gently to the foot, becoming more comfortable over time.
If you are looking for handmade sheepskin slippers in the UK that are built to last, you are in the right place.
Authentic British and Rare Breed Sheepskin
Where possible, we prioritise British fleece, including rare and distinctive breeds.
British sheepskin has character. Climate, breed and natural living conditions influence tone, density and texture. No two fleeces are ever identical.
We do not bleach our sheepskins. Undyed ivory sheepskin is never bright white. The English weather often gives it a soft buttermilk warmth or creamy undertone. That natural colouring is part of its authenticity.
When customers ask, “Are your sheepskins bleached?” the answer is no. We value the natural beauty of the fleece exactly as it is.
Natural, Breathable and Sustainable
Genuine sheepskin is temperature regulating, breathable and durable.
It keeps feet warm in winter while allowing airflow. It is resilient, long lasting and biodegradable. When responsibly sourced, sheepskin is a by-product of the food industry, making it a more sustainable option than synthetic alternatives.
We believe in buying fewer, better things. A well-made pair of sheepskin slippers should last for years, not just a season.
Small Batch, Personal Service
Being a small Somerset business means we are closely involved with everything we sell.
Every rug is hand trimmed. Every pair of slippers is hand checked. Every fleece has its own natural character.
When someone emails us to ask about fit, fleece length or tone, they are speaking to people who work with sheepskin every day.
We care about every item leaving the Workshop to it’s forever home.
Why It Matters
In a world of mass production and synthetic fibres, real sheepskin stands apart.
It is warm without plastic. Soft without artificial filling. Unique without being manufactured to look identical.
Sheepland has been dedicated to British sheepskin since 1986. We are proud to continue making traditional styles like our Luxury Bootie, proud to work with natural undyed fleeces, and proud to remain a family-run Somerset business.
