What if my delivery address is wrong?
Please check your address carefully at checkout. If a parcel comes back to us as undeliverable because of the address, you can choose redelivery (£18 fee) or a refund (less a £15 restocking fee). Address changes after your order is confirmed may carry a £15 admin fee.
Do you offer gift boxes?
Standard deliveries are sent in mailing bags. Fast and Express deliveries arrive in a slim, plain cardboard box (50 × 35 × 10 cm), which is perfect for gifting.
Clemés bags ship in a sturdy box with a branded dust bag, and you can upgrade to our luxury gift box at checkout.

Read the full return and refund policy.
Can I exchange an item?
Because every cowhide, sheepskin and bag is unique, we can't hold stock during a return, so we don't offer direct exchanges. The best way to secure a different piece is to buy it separately and return the original for a refund.
How long do refunds take?
Returns normally take five to seven working days to process once they reach us. Approved refunds go back to your original payment method; your bank may take a little longer to show it.
About Our Products
Are scratches or marks on a cowhide faults?
No. Scratches, small bald spots, branding marks and variations in colour and shape are natural features of a genuine hide — part of each piece's character. If yours isn't right for your space, you're welcome to return it under our policy.
What is the back of a cowhide like?
The back is natural suede, which is naturally non-slip.
Do I need a rug pad?
No — none of our rugs need a rug pad.
How are your cowhides measured?
Every hide is measured individually and listed by width × length in centimetres, with its area in square metres in the description. Our Cowhide Size Guide explains our Medium and Large sizes and how to choose.
Is my dog going to chew my cowhide?
We can't guarantee against chewing, but most customers tell us their dogs simply love lying on their cowhides.
Are your cowhides ethically sourced?
Yes. Leather is a by-product of the beef industry — no animal is killed for its skin, and leather production has no effect on the number of animals slaughtered. We use hides that would otherwise go to waste and turn them into something useful and beautiful.
Care
How do I clean my cowhide?
Give it a regular shake or vacuum in the direction of the hair. For spills, blot with a clean towel, apply a little warm soapy water, blot dry and brush the hair in the direction it grows. Please don't beat the rug.
How do I get rid of creases?
Folds from delivery usually relax within a few days. For stubborn creases, dampen the back of the hide with a wet towel, roll it up and let it dry.
How do I care for sheepskins and bags?
See our full Care Guide for sheepskin washing and drying, and care for cowhide, suede, leather and raffia bags.
