Fiskur Leather - Important Update!
October 25 Update:
We have had no communication from Atlantic Leather for the past two weeks. No update on our inventory replacement orders. Yesterday we learned from a friend in Iceland that the tannery has officially filed for bankruptcy. Staff have been laid off. We are deeply saddened by this news. We have been looking into other sources of fish leather from other countries. There is also hope that someone will take over operations in Iceland and resume the work. Over 20+ years of research into tanning fish skins could be lost. It would be a shame if that happened. We will continue to provide updates. We also will be altering our travel schedule. Thank you.

We have received word this morning that Atlantic Leather in Iceland has implemented a work stoppage. This is our source for Icelandic fish leather. We placed two large orders with them recently and these are on hold and we are not sure what the status is for processing & shipping to us. At this time - unfortunately - we will be suspending online sales of our fish leather until we get clarification. You can contact Joe via email: joe@fiskurleather.com to inquire about purchasing any fish leather. Hopefully we will learn more in the days ahead...so sorry to hear this. Thank you for your understanding of this unfortunate turn of events.
