How to care for my bag
How do I clean my bag?
Our cowhide bags are surprisingly low maintenance. The hides are naturally robust and don’t absorb dirt easily, so if yours gets a little muddy, just wait for it to dry, and give it a gentle shake.
What happens if it gets wet?
For spills, blot with a dry cloth or paper towel and then allow to dry.
Does it lose hair over time?
It shouldn't do, although a minimal amount of shedding is unavoidable.
Your bag should look perfect if well cared for.

Sourcing & Materials
Sustainable sourcing
At Zulucow, sustainability isn’t a bolt-on; it’s the backbone of how we design, source and make our cowhide bags, belts and homeware accessories.
All our Nguni cowhide pieces are created from a by-product. We do not believe in farming for fashion.
Ethical labor
When you buy a Zulucow product, you are not only purchasing a beautiful, utterly unique, lovingly handmade item. You are also helping to create desperately needed, sustainable jobs. You are helping Zulu women to survive; to put food on the table.
Transparent values
Unlike fast-fashion factories where goods are mass-produced with piece-work. We teach our artisans to make the entire product; so they become empowered and and financially liberated; with a sense of prided and hope for the future.
lined interior
A luxuriously soft lining adds a refined finish to every bag, keeping your essentials protected in style.
leather back
The full grain leather back brings structure and durability to the bag, built to age beautifully with every wear.
ADJUSTABLE STRAP
Pull the leather through the keep to adjust the strap length.
