Natural cowhide refers to the unbleached skin and hair of a cow. It retains the original coloring of the animal and is a byproduct of the meat industry. Cowhide can be used in its natural form or further processed into leather through tanning.
Characteristics
Durability: Cowhide is known for its robustness and is highly resistant to wear and tear, making it suitable for furniture that will be used extensively.
Unique Patterns: Every cowhide is unique with its own pattern, color variations, and natural markings. This uniqueness adds character and individuality to furniture pieces.
Texture: The hair-on-hide texture provides a tactile experience that is distinct from other furniture materials. The surface can be soft and smooth, with the hair offering a layer of gentle comfort.
Versatility: Cowhide can be a top choice for a variety of styles, including rustic, contemporary, and eclectic. It can be used in whole pieces for items like area rugs or cut and sewn for upholstery.
Maintenance: It requires relatively low maintenance and can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Since it's a natural fur, it repels most stains and doesn’t easily soak up spills.
