Calf Hide Rug
The calf hide guide
All the charm of a cowhide, in a smaller size
Calf hides are the little sister of our full size cowhides, roughly 90 x 90cm. They're perfect where a full hide is too big: beside the bed, under a desk chair, in a nursery or draped over a chair or bench.
- Roughly 90 x 90cm, ideal for small spaces
- Brown and white or black and white
- A lovely gift and a great first cowhide
Where it looks its best
- Bedside
- A soft landing each morning. Use one on each side of the bed for a balanced look.
- Nursery and kids rooms
- Soft and cosy underfoot. Add a small rug underlay on timber floors.
- Over a chair or bench
- Drape over a dining bench, ottoman or armchair for instant texture.

What size calf hide do I need?
Tap a size to see it next to a standard 3-seater couch, both drawn to the same scale. Every hide's exact measurements are in its name, for example #1061 (190 x 252cm).
Sizes are typical. Every hide is natural and shaped a little differently, so go by the measurements listed with each hide.
Calf Hide Rug questions
Still wondering? Send us a message or a photo of your space and we'll help you choose.
How big is a calf hide?
Our calf hides are roughly 90 x 90cm. As natural hides, each one is a slightly different shape.
Can I hang a calf hide on the wall?
Yes. They're light enough to hang as wall art, which is a great way to add texture to a wall.
Do calf hides have marks?
Calf hides can have small natural marks or blemishes from nature or the tanning process. They're part of the charm, and you can see each hide in its photos.
Is the hide in the photos the one I'll get?
Yes. Each hide number is one real rug, photographed and measured by us. Pick the hide you love and that exact hide is the one we send. Cowhide is natural, so colours can look a touch different on different screens.
Do cowhide rugs shed or fade?
Some shedding is normal with any hide or hide product. Friction causes more hair to shed, and shorter-haired hides are more prone to it, so keep that in mind for high-traffic areas. To protect the colour, keep it out of harsh all-day sun. Read more about shedding and fading.
How do I clean it?
Shake it outside or vacuum with the brush head on low, going with the grain. Blot spills straight away with a clean dry cloth, working from the outside in. Avoid soaking, steam cleaners and harsh chemicals, and let it air dry away from direct heat. Our full care guide.
My rug has creases from being rolled. What do I do?
Lay it flat on a clean, dry floor and leave it for a few days. The hide's own weight usually flattens lighter creases. For stubborn creases only, hold a garment steamer 10 to 15cm above the hair side and never let it touch the hide. How to remove wrinkles.
Will it slip on timber or tiles?
The leather backing grips smooth floors well on its own. For extra peace of mind in busy walkways or homes with little ones, pop a thin rug underlay underneath.
Is it OK with kids and pets?
Cowhide is one of the most practical rugs for family homes. It's hard wearing, doesn't trap dust like carpet, and wipes clean. Patterned hides hide everyday life better than plain light ones.
Is it real and ethically sourced?
Yes. It's 100% genuine Brazilian cowhide with the natural hair on, hand-selected by us and ethically sourced as a by-product of the beef industry, with chemical-free tanning. As a natural product, each hide may have small marks from nature or the tanning process.
How much is shipping, and can I pay it off?
Shipping is free on orders over $200, sent from our studio in Blackwater, Central Queensland. We ship to Australia and New Zealand, and you'll see your delivery estimate at checkout. You can also pay over time with Afterpay or Zip. See our shipping policy.
What if it doesn't suit my space?
You've got 30 days to return it under our returns policy, plus a 12 month warranty. If you're unsure which hide or size to pick, message us a photo of your room first and we'll help you choose.
