Dark Cowhide Rugs

Dark cowhide rugs are used to add some drama or a sultry mood. Darker colours like black or a very dark brown are gorgeous, rich and shiny. You can really see the texture of the hair on hide, this adds luxury to your home interiors. Light reflects beautifully of darker hair colour.

The dark tiger-like exotics look like wood grain, and work well with antiques and deep jewel coloured walls. Think 18th century manor house or hunting lodge. Natural black hide is another useful and modern neutral.

Gorgeous Creatures was the first retail company to import extremely high quality dark cowhide rugs into New Zealand, and has revolutionized the industry worldwide.

We were the first company to offer individually photographed cowhides to our retail customers, when others online just showed an example hide. Because each cowhide is photographed individually, you are guaranteed you will receive exactly the cowhide you order. There will be no surprises, however your computer screen may show colours slightly different to reality.

Gorgeous Creatures was the first company to work out the best way to care for cowhides and to provide clear cleaning instructions, and the first to develop a special cowhide cleaner that is safe for use on leather – learn more.

Even now, our online retail store has one of the widest selections of cowhide colours and sizes available in New Zealand – including some really large cowhides. Perfect for larger homes or ottomans.

Our amazing Brazilian supplier uses the best tanning techniques with high quality chemicals and trained technicians, resulting in cowhides are gorgeously shiny, soft and supple enough to make incredible cowhide ottomans.

All cowhides are a unique and natural product, so they may contain some small natural imperfections from tick bites, and fence or tree rubbing. Sometimes Brazilian cowhides have a brand, but we make sure they are subtle and nice looking.

Cowhides make robust family friendly rugs, and are low maintenance, making them very easy to care for. This video shows how to vacuum a cowhide, and this video shows an amazing cowhide cleaning demonstration.

If your new cowhide has any fold lines once it arrives, these should disappear once the leather has been on a flat hard floor for a few weeks. To speed things up you can iron the fold lines out of cowhide rugs.
