Gallery of Natural Cow Skin Rugs The following pictures show the hides in stock and available for shipping today. Additional hides can be obtained on short notice. Some of these pictures were taken at the tannery in Peru and were originally designed to provide a ready reference to the basic pattern of the hide for the warehouse staff. At the moment, these pictures are the best we can offer. Stock varies, so please call to ensure that the style and size you want are available. Shipments come in from Peru every week or two, so if we do not have what you are looking for on hand, we can probably get it promptly. This website is updated on most business days, so the selection that you see below that is not marked SOLD or SALE PENDING is probably still available. Please call or write to confirm availability of a specific hide. |

Shipping Costs within the U.S.A.
International Shipping Costs For shipments overseas, we recommend using the U.S. Mail Service's Global Express Mail. This is the best way to send the cow hides and offers a tracking number. Global Express takes 3 - 5 business days to most countries (not including possible customs delays in your country upon arrival). You can save money by shipping using regular insured air mail, but this takes 1-2 weeks (plus customs delays--which can add up to 3 or 4 weeks) and does not offer a tracking number. We cannot track these parcels and the U.S. Post Office will not investigate a shipment until at least six weeks have passed. We do not recommend this for first-time customers.
|
International Shipping Note There are no export controls from the United States for these cow skins. The skins have been professionally tanned and cows are not endangered. We have never experienced customers having any problems importing tanned cow hides into their countries (other than delays caused by customs). |

Why Buy from Us? We scour the world for the best quality hides available. Our hides have been tumbled between two to four days to ensure that they are soft and supple. We have many satisfied customers around the world--and hope that you will be one, too.
Your satisfaction is guaranteed. If you are not 100% satisfied with the hide when it arrives, send it back for a full refund (less shipping costs). |
Care Instructions for Your Cow Hide To remove any dirt, brush along the nap (in the direction of the hair, not backwards) using a bristle comb or horse brush. To clean spills or extra dirty areas, use a very small amount of shampoo on a damp sponge. Sponge along the nap repeatedly. Rinse the sponge to remove the shampoo and dirt and repeat until the hide is cleaned. Dry using a towel running along the nap. We also offer a lanolin-based cleaner called EucalanTM. Click HERE for more information. |
Enjoy! Cow hides are a beautiful natural product that can be enjoyed for years. We hope that you will enjoy yours. |
