Our cowhide rugs are Grade A, fully natural, and sustainably sourced from our network of vetted partner tanneries in Argentina as a by-product of food production. All of our partners' facilities are clean, animal-friendly, and cruelty-free.

At Hillyard, we believe in giving back to nature what it has so freely given us. To help make our supply chain more carbon-neutral and help provide crucial income to local communities in Africa, a portion of every purchase funds the planting of ten trees. We donate these proceeds to our impact partner, Eden Reforestation Projects, to carry out these efforts by planting trees in Africa for every purchase made.

You can track your impact after your purchase and will receive an email with a link to your tracking dashboard.

Sourced exclusively from master tanneries in Argentina, all of our cowhides are hand-selected for exceptional quality, color, and feel. Because cowhides are a natural product, the cowhide you order will be entirely unique, one of a kind, and no two rugs are exactly alike. Please note that the listed measurements are approximate, and there may be some variance in size, texture, color, and pattern.

As cowhides are a natural product, some variations in size can be expected. Each cowhide is unique and one of a kind. With that said, our rugs range in size anywhere from 7 x 6.5 to 8 x 6.5 feet, and the square footage of our rugs are between 32 and 43 square feet.

Our vintage cowhide rugs are hairless and have a 0.0" pile height. The hairless texture our our Vintage Cowhides feel great under bare feet. Our classic cowhide rugs come with hair and a 0.25" pile height.

Cowhide rugs are naturally durable and made to withstand a lifetime of use. Undemanding and easy to care for, they are perfect for high-traffic areas. Our rugs are made with the finest tanning methods and natural materials. To ensure your cowhide rug will be enjoyed for many years to come, please follow these care suggestions:

• Cowhide rugs are naturally spill and stain resistant - just wipe up any spills with a damp cloth. For stains, simply spot clean with warm water and a few drops of mild shampoo and lightly rub with the grain of the hair using a soft brush or sponge. Do not treat with stain products.

• Regular vacuuming will keep dust from collecting and your cowhide rug looking new. Vacuum your rug using the hardwood floor setting and with the grain of the hair. You can also shake out the cowhide to remove dust that can collect over time to keep your room's air fresh.

Your order will arrive at your doorstep in our branded Hillyard cardboard mailer box (26” x 20” x 3”). We focused on designing packaging that is precise and custom-made for our products - your cowhide rug will fit perfectly in our boxes and deliver you a fresh cowhide rug.

We carefully fold and pack our rugs in our mailer boxes for shipment and rest assured that they will not be damaged in transit. Because our rugs are natural, the fibers are resilient and any creases you see in the rug upon unboxing are only temporary and will flatten out and lay naturally within a few days.

At Hillyard, we’re committed to doing our part for the environment. All of our cardboard mailer boxes are fully recyclable and bio-degradable. To recycle your packaging, just drop it in the recycling bin for your local recycling program to collect. If you do not have access to a recycling bin at your residence or office, you can find a recycling facility drop-off location near you here.

A few notes on the character of natural cowhide rugs:

• Cowhides have a minimum of one fire brand. This is mandatory in Argentina.

• There may be various markings on the cowhide. These are natural occurrences as the cattle the cowhide originated on grassed freely.

• Cowhides may exhibit some low pile (hair loss) generally in the belly area. This is a natural occurrence. 

• Cowhides have a smell similar to that of a leather tannery. This is normal and will dissipate over time.

• Since the cowhides are folded for transportation, they may arrive with some creases. Simply open the hides flat, and these will disappear over time.
