Please see our Gallery below for goatskins that are in stock today.
| We have decorative, hair-on goatskins from
both Peru and the USA. All sizes are usually in stock. Please
let us know if you have a preference for one style over
another. We will do our best to accommodate your needs. The
breed of goat that is found in Peru rarely, if ever, produces an all
white goat, but the U.S. goatskins are mostly white. The Peruvian goatskins
have been chrome-tanned.
The hide side of the U.S. goatskins is softer than the Peruvian
goatskins. The U.S. goatskins have longer hair (~3") and are heavier
than the Peruvian ones.
The craft grade skins may have small holes near the bottom or at the edges of the back of the skin which would not be evident from the front.
Genus and species: Capra hircus. The goatskins are a by-product of the food industry. These skins are not subject to USFWS export controls. They are NOT endangered. Click HERE to see a unique use for a goatskin. Product of the USA, Tanned in Haiti |

Care Instructions for Your GoatskinTo 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 Eucalan.
