About Nguni Cow Hide Company

Elegance that works hard
A Nguni cowhide is an accent piece that makes a room feel both relaxed and refined. It softens hard floors, adds texture and becomes the natural focal point of a living room, bedroom or office.
No two Nguni hides are ever alike, so we never sell from a catalogue photo alone. Craig hand-selects every hide and zebra skin, and in Cape Town he brings a selection to your home so you can see the colours in your own light, evenings and weekends included.
Not in Cape Town? We deliver free anywhere in South Africa, usually within 2 days, and ship worldwide with FedEx, with all the paperwork customs needs.
