Product Description
Add bold character and organic texture to your space with our premium Cowhide Rugs — each one a unique work of nature. Sourced as a by-product of the farming industry, these hides are ethically and sustainably obtained, transforming natural materials into timeless home accents.
No two hides are alike. Each piece showcases its own individual pattern, markings, and tone variations — from warm caramels and deep chocolates to soft creams and striking black-and-white contrasts. These natural differences are what make every rug completely one-of-a-kind.
Perfect for layering over carpets, anchoring furniture, or adding contrast to minimalist spaces, cowhide rugs bring a touch of rustic elegance and rugged beauty to any room.
Please note: As this is a natural product, colour, shape, and size will vary slightly from piece to piece.

Care Instructions
Blot Spills Immediately: If something spills on your rug, act quickly! Use a clean, absorbent cloth or paper towel to blot the area gently. Avoid rubbing or scrubbing as that can push the liquid deeper into the fibres. Always blot from the outside of the spill toward the centre to prevent spreading.
Vacuuming: When vacuuming, use only suction and avoid any rotating brushes or beater bars, which can damage delicate fibres. If your vacuum has a brush roll, switch it off or use a setting for delicate rugs. Suction-only vacuuming helps remove dirt without disturbing or damaging the fibres.
Underlay Grip: To prevent slipping and add extra protection to the rug, use an underlay grip (Goochy Grip). This helps keep the rug in place, reduces friction, and provides cushioning, which can prevent wear and tear over time. It also helps with insulation and noise reduction.
Protecting the Fringes: Fringes are delicate and can easily get damaged. Avoid heavy foot traffic over them and be gentle when cleaning the edges. Protect the fringes from the vacuum's reach. If the fringe begins to fray, you can trim it carefully to maintain its appearance.
General Care: Rotate the rug periodically to ensure even wear, especially in high-traffic areas.
Professional Cleaning: While regular maintenance is important, professional cleaning is recommended every 1-2 years (depending on traffic). Experts can deep clean your rug using techniques like hot water extraction or dry cleaning, which can remove dirt and stains that home cleaning methods might miss. Professional cleaning also helps preserve the rug's fibres and colours, extending its lifespan.
Colour Varience
Colours in rugs can appear differently depending on the screen you are viewing them on. Variations in display technology, brightness, contrast, and colour calibration can make a rug’s hues look more vibrant, muted, warmer, or cooler than they actually are. Additionally, different devices—such as smartphones, tablets, and computer monitors—may show slight variations in tone and depth. To get the most accurate representation of a rug’s colour, we recommend viewing it in natural lighting when possible and referring to detailed product descriptions for guidance.

Non-Slip Rug Grip – Secure, Protect, and Enhance Your Space
Keep your rugs securely in place with our Non-Slip Rug Grip, designed to prevent unwanted movement underfoot while protecting your floors from color transfer and damage.
Made from 100% polyester, this durable and lightweight rug grip ensures your rugs lay flat and stable, reducing the risk of slips and trips. It also acts as a barrier to prevent color transfer from your rug to the floor, keeping your surfaces looking pristine.
Perfect for use on hardwood, tile, laminate, and more, this rug grip is also suitable for use with underfloor heating, ensuring comfort and safety without compromising performance. Easily cut to size, it offers a customized fit for any rug in your home.
For very large rugs, multiple pieces of underlay may be needed. Simply place them side by side—no taping required. The underlay can be easily trimmed to size with scissors. We recommend choosing a size of underlay slightly smaller than your rug, covering up to 70% of its surface area, as full corner-to-corner coverage is not necessary.

- Helps prevent color transfer and damage to flooring surfaces.
- Safe for use with heated flooring systems.
- Easily cut to size for any rug shape or dimension.
- Made from high-quality materials for long-lasting use.

Unraveling the Art: The Journey of Rug Making
Explore the fascinating process of rug making, where tradition meets craftsmanship. From the careful selection of materials to intricate weaving techniques, each rug tells a unique story. Discover the artistry behind every knot and pattern, and learn about the cultural significance and historical roots of this timeless craft. Join us on a journey that reveals the skill and dedication that transform raw fibers into stunning, functional art pieces for your home.
Crafted to Perfection: The Art of Hand Finishing
Each rug is hand-finished through a meticulous process that adds the final touches and enhances its overall quality. Here’s how this process typically unfolds:
Trimming: Once the rug is woven, artisans carefully trim any uneven edges or excess fibers. This ensures that the rug has a clean, polished look.
Shearing: In some cases, the pile height may be adjusted by shearing the surface of the rug. This process creates a uniform texture and enhances the design's visibility.
Washing: Rugs are often washed to remove any dirt or debris from the weaving process. This also helps to set the dyes and enhance the colors, bringing out their richness.
Blocking: The rug is stretched and pinned into place to ensure it maintains its shape and lays flat. This step helps to correct any warping that may have occurred during weaving.
Finishing Edges: Artisans may add decorative fringes or borders to the edges of the rug, which not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also helps to prevent fraying.
Quality Inspection: Each rug undergoes a thorough quality check to ensure it meets high standards. Any imperfections are addressed, and only the best rugs are deemed ready for sale.
This hand-finishing process ensures that each rug is not only a functional item but also a beautiful work of art, reflecting the skill and dedication of the artisans who created it.

Rugs & Allergies: What You Need to Know
We understand how important it is to find a rug that suits your needs, especially when dealing with allergies.
Our rugs are made with various natural fibres, synthetic fibres, and we do not use harsh chemical treatments that could trigger sensitivities. Some rugs may have a slight initial shedding period, which is normal with wool products, but this typically decreases over time with regular vacuuming. If you're looking for a low-shedding option, we’d be happy to recommend specific styles that work well for allergy sufferers.
Please let us know if you have any specific preferences such as colour themes and sizes so we can assist you further!
