About Iceland
Iceland is a refreshingly unconventional travel destination. The Icelandic nature is unspoilt, exotic and mystical with its spouting geysers, active volcanoes, tumbling waterfalls, towering mountains, vast lava plains and magical lakes. Iceland’s fjords, glaciers and highland plains present visitors with some of the most beautiful and enchanting places they will ever see, as well as a rare feeling of utter tranquillity.

For travelers on a quest for action, Iceland’s pristine nature offers great potential for outdoor activities such as snowmobiling, horse riding, cave exploring, hiking, swimming, skiing, river rafting, kayaking and mountain safaris on modified four-wheel drives, to name but a few. Iceland supports a surprisingly diverse Nordic flora and fauna and is an ideal place for ornithology enthusiasts, while also offering some of the world’s best whale watching destinations.

About Reykjavik
Reykjavík sometimes feels like a cosmopolitan capital and a tiny seaside village - all wrapped up in one. But Reykjavík has the best of both worlds; the qualities of a modern, forward-looking society complemented by a close connection to Iceland‚s beautiful and unspoilt nature.

Reykjavík’s legendary nightlife is bolstered by plentiful cultural and social happenings in addition to an abundance of first-class restaurants. The size of Reykjavik city centre is also limited enough to allow for easy navigation by foot. Reykjavík has been described as a young and daring city that is characterized by strong contrasts. Conveniently small, clean and safe, it is more or less free from the major problems that haunt many other capitals. Big city events are frequent, the winter lights festival finished recently with thousands of participants and more tourist at this time of the year than we are used to.

Pelsinn

A piece of practical luxury.

For 27 years, Pelsinn has provided Icelanders with stylish, exclusive answers to the long winters: namely furs. A family owned business, the store just across from Dómkirkjan is filled with everything from the heaviest, moviestar-esque mink fur coats to light summer jackets with fur linings or trimmings. The reversable fur-lined coats and jackets especially appeal to the younger customers who are on the lookout for edgier, modern designs instead of old fashioned glamour.

The elegant store dedicates itself to luxurious women’s clothing. Here, none but the best of materials will do. The company imports its high quality furs from Europe and Northern-Europe, and also stocks exclusive clothing from Italy and shoes from France. With not a thread of synthetic fabric in sight, all garments are made out of the best materials available: fur, leather, suede, silk, cashmere and linen. For customers’ benefit, the store employs a furrier who changes and customizes your garment of choice to achieve a perfect, made-for-you fit.

Apart from the fur coats, the company also imports accessories in fur: gloves, shawls, scarves and caps. The store does not confine itself to one style, but provides customers with a free choice between many designs. Regardless of budget, anyone can find a piece of luxury to suit their taste.

The owners are obliged to be at customers’ service at any time and encourage them to make a special appointment. They can be reached by phone (dial 862 0160 or 892 0160) between 9 –18 or at any time more convenient for customers.
