The rug is made from 100% natural cowhide leather. The Croco is a unique combination of black cowhide patches and crocodile style non-hairy leather border to give it an extremely Bold and stylish look. At the back there is acrylic felt backing, which makes the rug lay flat, grip to the floor and protects it from any underneath floor moisture. Securely rolled packed on a cardboard pole this protects it while in transit and makes it lay flat once unpacked.
