Choosing a cowhide rug is an investment in your home’s character. As a specialist trader with over 22
years of experience, we understand that quality is found in the details—from the suppleness of the
leather to the richness of the natural markings.

1. How do I choose the right size cowhide rug for my living room?

To select the ideal size, measure the central floor area of your seating space:

 Small (up to 1.90m x 1.6m): Perfect for compact living rooms, reading nooks, or placing under a coffee table without tucking under sofas.

 Medium-Large (approx. 1.95m+ x 1.9m): Fits standard living rooms where the front legs of your sofa or armchairs rest slightly on the edges of the hide to anchor the room.

 Extra Large & XXL (2.10m+ x 2m+): Designed for expansive open-plan areas, barn conversions, or placement under multi-seater sectional sofas and dining tables.

2. Are these genuine South American cowhides?

Yes, 100%. Every hide in our collection is ethically sourced as a natural byproduct from accredited tanneries across South America—specifically Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia. These regions are globally renowned for producing exceptionally soft, durable, and high-lustre natural leather. Every rug is individually photographed so the exact piece you see online is the one delivered to your home.

3. How do I clean and maintain a natural cowhide rug?

Natural cowhide is inherently stain-resistant, robust, and low-maintenance:

 Routine Care: Give your rug a gentle shake outside weekly to clear dust and grit. You can also vacuum it using suction only (or a hard floor attachment)—always vacuuming in the direction of the hair growth.

 Spills & Spots: Act quickly using a clean, damp cloth or sponge with a mild soap solution (like delicate dish soap or baby shampoo). Gently wipe in the direction of the hair. Never soak the leather backing.

 Deep Maintenance: Allow the hide to air-dry naturally away from direct heat sources (radiators or hairdryers). Never wash in a washing machine or dry clean.
