About Watusi Cowhide Rugs

Watusi Cowhide Rugs

A Watusi cowhide is a natural hide from Colombia or Brazil with deep, mostly solid color and a distinct line along the spine. Many are solid brown with a black or reddish spine. Others are solid black with a red or brown spine, and some blend brown and black across the hide.

A Warm, Grounding Look

With less contrast than spotted hides, a Watusi or solid brown cowhide brings depth and warmth to a room. It suits leather furniture, wood floors and warm palettes, and looks just as good in a living room as in a study or office. Try one under a coffee table, beneath a desk or at the foot of a bed.

Made to Live With

Hair-on cowhide handles everyday foot traffic well, which makes it a practical choice for living rooms, entryways and offices. Care is simple:

  • Shake it out or vacuum on low.
  • Blot spills right away.
  • Expect a little shedding at first. It settles within a few weeks.

Hand-Selected from Colombia and Brazil

Our hides come from small, independent tanneries in Colombia and Brazil, through relationships that go back more than 30 years. Each hide is chosen for its coat, markings and character, then photographed and measured on its own. The hide you see in the listing is the hide you'll receive.

Finding Your Size

Hides are measured at their longest and widest points. Sizes run from Mini (about 3' × 2') to XX-Large (about 8' × 7'), and every listing shows the exact measurements. Need something smaller? See our Mini and Small collections.
