Eggert feldskeri, the Furrier
Having established his shop in 1977, Eggert ‘the furrier’ Jónsson is proud of the
fact that he has maintained Icelandic production after all these years. Located in the
heart of Reykjavík on Skólavörðustígur 38, his shop is simply called Eggert feldskeri.
Making use of what nature has to offer and not letting anything go to waste is Eg-
gert’s top priority. His Surf and Turf collection made from Icelandic lamb and ocean
leather exemplifies this philosophy. Eggert has gained international recognition for
his work and the majority of garments sold in his store are made in-house. Eggert
feldskeri’s designs are only available in his shop at the top of Skólavörðustígur.
