About Our Cowhide Bags & Handbags
Hand-selected, genuine cowhide leather is the heart of every Country Allure bag. Each hide has its own natural patterning (no two are the same), so your handbag is truly one-of-a-kind. Designed in Australia for real life, our pieces balance everyday practicality with luxe, country-inspired style - whether you’re on the school run, packing for a weekend away, or heading out for dinner.

- Naturally hard-wearing: Cowhide is famed for strength and longevity, ideal for daily carry.

FAQs
Are cowhide handbags durable for everyday use?
Yes. Cowhide’s natural fibre structure is strong and resistant to wear, making it ideal for daily commuting, school runs and travel.
Will the pattern on my bag match the photos exactly?
Every hide is unique, so pattern and tone will vary slightly - that’s the beauty of genuine cowhide. We aim to match the general style you select.
Do cowhide bags shed hair?
Minor shedding can occur early on (similar to a new wool rug) and typically settles with use. Gentle brushing helps maintain the pile.
Can I personalise my cowhide bag?
Many styles support hot-branding initials/letters. Add your requested characters at checkout and we’ll position them neatly on the designated panel.
How do I clean spills or baby messes?
Blot (don’t rub) with a dry cloth, then lightly damp-wipe the area and allow to air dry. Avoid detergents, solvents and heat.
Are cowhide handbags heavy?
Cowhide is robust yet surprisingly manageable. If you carry a laptop or baby gear, choose wider straps or crossbody styles for comfort.
Is cowhide water-resistant?
Cowhide naturally resists light moisture but isn’t waterproof. If caught in rain, pat dry and let it air dry away from heat.
Do you deliver across Australia?
Yes - Australia-wide delivery is available, with shipping options shown at checkout. (International options can be added if/when relevant.)
