a unique statement piece
sophistication for any space
Zulucow’s rugs are individually selected for their quality, beauty and dramatic markings.
Each rug is naturally one-of-a-kind, showcasing the striking patterns of South Africa’s treasured, indigenous Nguni cattle.
How to care for my rug
How do I clean my rug?
If your Zulucow Cowhide Rug gets dirty, wait for the dirt to dry; shake the rug and then brush or vacuum it in the direction of the hair.
What happens if it gets wet?
Soak up any liquid spills with a paper towel/tea-towel. With a damp cloth dipped in warm soapy water, gently dab the mark out. Try not to get the hide too wet as it is natural leather.
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.
robust & easy to clean
Unlike woollen rugs they do not have a hollow fibre and so do not absorb wine, liquid or dirt.
The fluid just slides off and you can shake or vacuum off dried dirt easily.
a unique statement piece
Effortlessly complements both traditional and contemporary home aesthetics. From urban lofts to cosy country retreats, these rugs add a touch of elegance to any space.
A perfect size
Due to their natural origins, the measurements of each rug vary, with an approximate size of 2m x 180cm.

OUR CUSTOMERS
We have over 2000 customers who love our products and come back time and time again.
I have wanted a cowhide rug for a long time but have never been impressed with the quality of them. After buying a sling bag from Lucy at Zulucow i knew the quality would be really high. It exceeded my expectations, it is beautiful. Lucy was really helpful with measurements and it was delivered super fast. Excellent value for a fabulous item.
Absolutely thrilled with my Nguni Cowhide and Springbok rugs from Zulucow; both are really beautiful and Lucy was extremely helpful assisting in the purchase process.
