A Foundation of Values

Hello, and welcome. I’m Sean Dupuis. When I started this journey, I knew I wanted to offer products that were more than just functional. I wanted to connect people with genuine quality—pieces that carry a story.

But beyond the products, I am guided by a deep conviction that, above all, we must work to be kinder to one another. The world can feel rushed sometimes. My hope is that when you slip on a pair of our slippers at the end of a long day, it gives you a moment of peace to recharge, and the energy to put a little more kindness back out there tomorrow.

This dedication to mutual respect and integrity ensures that Sheepskin and Things is not just a business, but a reflection of the values we hold dear.

Leadership & Community

My passion for excellence extends from business to the community. As the founder of Spirit Moccasins, I have championed the preservation of Indigenous art forms through unique collaborations, most notably partnering with renowned artist Bill Helin to create the "Spirit Moccasins," a wearable masterpiece symbolizing family unity.

From the Ice to the Water

My commitment to teamwork is rooted in years of coaching leadership. My journey began organizing and leading spring hockey teams, developing a keen understanding of team dynamics. I successfully transitioned this expertise to the water, becoming a key figure in the Vancouver Island paddling community.

Today, I am the founder and coach of the PANDA dragon boat team with VI Paddling. Having raced on the national stage, I bring this unique blend of competitive drive and coaching leadership to my business: dedication, resilience, and a focus on collective success.
