Mr. Cowhides is a home decor and leather shop on La Cienega. We hand-pick real Brazilian cowhides, sheepskins and leather pieces, photograph every single one, and sell you exactly what you see. A real cowhide is one of the toughest rugs you can own: it shrugs off spills, hides wear and stays soft for years.
Sizes are approximate. Every hide is measured at its longest and widest points, and we list the exact size on each one.

Yes. Every listing is a single hide with its own ID number. The hide you see in the photos is the hide we ship.
Shake it out and vacuum in the direction of the hair. For spills, blot right away and wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Never steam clean or machine wash.
Properly tanned hides like ours have no odor. A little light shedding in the first weeks is normal and settles quickly.
Shipping is free to the 48 contiguous states and DC. Hides are rolled (never folded) and wrapped. Any light creasing relaxes within a few days on the floor.
