What is a cowhide rug?

A cowhide rug is a complete piece of cow's skin, a byproduct ethically sourced from the meat industry. Each of our cowhide rugs retains the natural hair, with the underside being genuine leather. All our cowhides undergo a professional tanning process to ensure they are exceptionally soft, with a suede-like finish. They are naturally non-slip and do not require additional rug padding, making them both practical and stylish additions to any space. 

How can I select quality cowhides?

When selecting quality cowhides, pay attention to factors like thickness, softness, and natural markings. Look for hides that are hand-selected and have undergone proper tanning processes.

How to keep cowhide rug from curling?

Cowhide rugs may curl for several reasons. Primarily, changes in humidity and temperature can cause the leather to expand and contract, leading to curling at the edges. Additionally, the natural drying process of the leather can cause it to stiffen and curl if not properly treated or if it's overly dried out. Frequent foot traffic can also bend the edges, encouraging them to curl. Proper maintenance and care, such as keeping the rug flat and using underlays, can mitigate these issues and help maintain its shape.

How to get wrinkles out of cowhide rug?

Gentle wrinkles in a cowhide rug typically smooth out over time. For moderate wrinkles, placing heavy furniture or another rug on top can help by applying weight and allowing foot traffic to naturally flatten the rug. For more severe wrinkles, you can place a damp towel on the backside of the cowhide and gently iron over it to help the fibers relax and lay flat.

Can I customize my cowhide?

Yes! We offer customization options for cowhides. You can choose from various sizes, shapes, colors, and patterns to match your specific preferences and interior design style. Contact us to request custom designs or alterations for a truly unique piece.

Why are genuine cowhides unique and different from one another?

A genuine cowhide rug is crafted from the skin of a cow, meaning each rug is distinctly unique. Variations in skin tone, color patterns, skin texture, and hair texture ensure that no two cowhide rugs are the same, making each one a unique piece of natural art for your home.

How to clean a cowhide rug?

To care for your cowhide rug, regularly vacuum it on a low setting or shake it outside to remove dust and debris.

How to store a cow skin rug?

Clean and Dry: Ensure the rug is clean and completely dry before storing it. Vacuum it to remove any dust or debris.

Roll It: Never fold a cowhide rug, as this can create creases. Instead, roll it up with the hair side facing outward. Rolling prevents the rug from developing permanent wrinkles.

Protection: To protect the rug from dust, insects, and moisture, wrap it in a breathable material like muslin or a cotton sheet. Avoid using plastic, as it can trap moisture.

Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Choose a cool, dry storage location. Humidity can damage the hide and encourage mold growth, so avoid damp areas like basements or attics.

Check Periodically: Periodically inspect the rug, especially if it's in storage for an extended period. Ensure it remains clean and dry, and address any issues promptly.

Where are these cowhides coming from?

Our genuine cowhide rugs for sale originate in Brazil, Argentina and Columbia. Due to its weather and abundance of agriculturally-friendly farmlands, South America is the apex of cowhide production and that’s where we find our selection.

Do your cows serve purposes beyond providing hides?

Our cowhides come from animals that serve various purposes, from providing food and clothing to unique applications like vitamin coating. None of our animals are used solely for their hides, ensuring a sustainable and ethical sourcing approach.
