FAQs About Cowhides

Are cowhides made from real leather or synthetic materials?

Yes — our cowhides are made from genuine cow skin, featuring natural leather backing with the hair-on-hide intact. They are an eco-friendly byproduct of the meat industry and never synthetic, ensuring authenticity and quality.

Are cowhides safe for allergy sufferers or people with asthma?

Absolutely. Cowhides are naturally hypoallergenic. Unlike synthetic carpets that trap dust, cowhides resist dust mites, mold, and pet hair. Their smooth surface also makes cleaning quick and easy.

Can cowhides be layered over other surfaces or materials?

Yes! Cowhides can be layered over other surfaces such as timber, tile, or larger natural fibres like wool or jute to add texture, warmth, and style to your space.

Are cowhides durable for high-traffic areas?

Definitely. Cowhides are extremely tough and can withstand heavy use in busy areas such as living rooms, hallways, or offices. Their natural durability often exceeds many synthetic alternatives.

Are all cowhides identical?

No — and that’s the beauty of cowhides! Each piece is unique, showcasing natural patterns, markings, and colour variations. Every cowhide you purchase is truly one-of-a-kind.

Can cowhides fit into modern or minimalist interiors?

Yes! Cowhides are versatile design elements. Their organic shapes and textures complement modern, Scandinavian, boho, or minimalist spaces without overwhelming the décor.

Do cowhides slip on hard floors?

Not usually. The natural leather backing of cowhides grips most surfaces, including hardwood, tile, and polished concrete, providing natural stability.

How do I clean and maintain a cowhide?

To maintain your cowhide, shake it outdoors or vacuum lightly with a brush attachment. For spills, gently blot with a damp cloth and mild soap — never soak. For deeper cleaning, a water and white vinegar solution works well; allow the cowhide to air dry naturally.
