More About Our Hair-on Cowhides
We source our hides from heritage cattle raised in the rugged landscapes of Patagonia—where climate and terrain naturally produce thick, durable hides with rich grain and sheen. All hides are tanned in small batches using low-impact, eco-conscious techniques, and finished by hand for uniform quality.
Our dyed cowhides are colored using artisanal processes that preserve the hair’s natural texture while introducing rich tones that blend beautifully in modern interiors. Whether natural or custom-colored, every hide carries the spirit of the land and the soul of the craftsman.
Designers trust Homelosophy cowhides for projects that demand authenticity, luxury, and longevity.
