Etymology

The term 'sheepskin' originates from Old English 'sceap' meaning 'sheep' combined with 'skin.' This reflects the importance of sheep in pastoral societies, where their wool and skin were valuable resources. Historically, sheepskin has been utilized since ancient times for its insulating properties and softness, making it a favored material among various cultures. In medieval Europe, sheepskin parchment was used for writing, as it provided a smooth surface that was more durable than paper. Throughout the centuries, the use of sheepskin evolved and expanded into various applications, including clothing, blankets, and upholstery. Its unique qualities have cemented its status as both a functional and luxurious material in fashion and interior design.
