If the quality is appropriate, without damage or bald spots, some cowhides are selected, sorted by hand and processed with the hair to make a finished skin. Colour distribution is another important factor when selecting the skin, besides bald spots and injuries. The result is an untreated natural product which is very popular for home décor, but can also be printed with patterns. These skins are also processed in the furniture, bag and footwear industries to make finished products. Use:

• Decorative items
• Shoe, furniture and bag industries
• Also turned into patchwork rugs.
