The rug is made from 100% natural cowhide leather, natural grey shades hide taken from different cows/ox, and hand-stitched in a herringbone design by our diligent artisans, a perfect match for your trendy decor. At the back, there is acrylic felt backing, which makes the rug lay flat, grip the floor, and protect it from any underneath floor moisture. Securely rolled and packed on a cardboard pole this protects it while in transit and makes it lay flat once unpacked.
