Cowhides

Cowhides are often used for interior decoration to lay on the floor or hang on the wall. They give a lot of atmosphere and provide a beautiful look and feel in your home and at work. Cowhides are unique because no two skins are the same and they are full of characteristic spots. For example, they still have the scars from the fencing in the skin or other spots that arose during the cow’s life. This gives a natural and sustainable character because the colors of the skin are also unique. The structure of the skin depends on the type of cow. For example, you have long-haired cows, short-haired or hides with medium hair. Unlike other hides, the skin is not checkered, making it ideal for laying on the floor. The skin is processed after slaughter and vegetable substances are used to ensure a firm and sustainable product.

Every cowhide is different!

Just as no cow is the same, no cowhide is the same. The cows are out on pasture from spring to autumn where they are exposed to sun, flies and barbed wire. The Dutch cows have a wonderful outdoor life where they can enjoy the grass. The hides are carefully selected and sorted by size and colour. Due to the natural conditions to which the cows are exposed, this gives a wonderful result. This gives a nice natural look and feel to the skin. Deep scars or the color that makes the cow so unique ensures a perfect representation in your interior. We have various cowhides in stock and this is replenished almost weekly with various sizes. Do you want a cowhide that lasts and that is vegetable-processed? Then take a look around the webshop and choose your favorite skin.

Cowhides from DutchMade

DutchMade cowhides come from cows that have been outside for at least 200 days a year and that are always allowed to graze despite the weather. We find it very important that the cowhides are as natural as possible, which is why you will still find real cowhides with us that have scars, fly bites and scratches on the skin. This ensures a sustainable appearance and shows that the cows have had a good life. We love diversity in color and size. It is therefore not possible to keep an exact measurement as every cow is different. The colors vary from black with white, brown spots, dark brown spots to almost white cowhides.

If you want to know more about the options, request information and together we will find out which cowhide suits you best.
