Yes, genuine cowhide rugs are made from real cow skin, which includes both the leather backing and the hair-on-hide surface. They are a natural by-product of the meat industry, not synthetic or machine-made.
Yes, cowhide rugs are naturally hypoallergenic, making them a great choice for allergy-prone households. Unlike synthetic carpets that trap dust, cowhide rugs don't harbor allergens like dust mites, mold, or pet hair. Plus, their smooth texture makes them super easy to clean.
Definitely! You can use a cowhide rug on top of carpet or layer it over a larger area rug like jute or wool to add texture and dimension. This styling trick works beautifully in living rooms and bedrooms and brings a modern yet rustic touch to your space.
A properly tanned cowhide rug should not shed or have a strong smell. A light leather scent is natural and fades quickly. Shedding usually indicates a low-quality hide or poor tanning process — not an issue with our premium cowhides.
Definitely. Cowhide rugs are incredibly durable and ideal for living rooms, hallways, and other high-traffic spaces. Their natural toughness resists wear and tear better than many synthetic alternatives.
No — and that’s the beauty of it! Every cowhide rug is one of a kind, featuring unique patterns, markings, and colour tones. That means when you choose your rug, you're getting a piece of natural art that no one else has.
Absolutely. Cowhide rugs aren’t just for rustic or country-style homes. Their natural shapes and sleek textures make them perfect for modern, Scandinavian, boho, or minimalist interiors. They add warmth and softness without overpowering the room.
The best way to clean a cowhide rug at home is by giving it a good shake outdoors or using a vacuum with a brush attachment (with the suction on low). For small spills, blot the area with a damp cloth and mild soap — never soak the hide. For deep cleaning, you can use a mix of water and white vinegar. Always let your cowhide rug air dry naturally, and avoid harsh chemicals or steam cleaning.
