Cowhide XS

XS cowhides are the smallest in the collection, making them the perfect accent piece. They’re not meant to fill an entire room, but rather to add a warm, natural touch to a specific spot. Below, I’ll tell you what to look for.

Why choose an XS cowhide?

An XS hide gives you the cowhide look in a compact size. Ideal if you have a small space, or if you simply want to add a cozy accent somewhere: in front of a reading chair, in a small entryway, or as a warm spot under your feet at your desk. And because it’s so easy to handle, it’s perfect for draping or layering.

Plus, it has all the familiar qualities of a genuine cowhide: it lasts for years, is naturally non-slip, and every piece is completely unique.

How big is an XS cowhide?

An XS cowhide has a surface area smaller than 2.00 m², with approximate dimensions of 140 × 120 cm, so about 1.40 meters long. A compact size that’s perfect as an accent piece. Since every hide is unique in size, I measure them all in centimeters; you’ll find the exact dimensions listed with each product, so you can check at home to see if it fits.

Where is an XS cowhide best suited?

An XS hide is the perfect accent piece:

• for a reading chair, armchair, or office chair;
• in a small entryway or a cozy corner;
• draped over a chair, stool, or bench;
• layered over a larger rug for extra texture;
• as a warm, natural accent in a compact space.

How to use an XS cowhide in your home

• As a floor accent: lay it loosely on a dry, flat floor, in a small corner, or in front of a chair. Sturdy and naturally non-slip.
• Over a chair or stool: drape it loosely over the seat for a warm, playful accent.
• Layered: drape it diagonally over a larger, neutral jute or wool rug to add depth and texture.

Is XS the right size for you?

Not sure if an XS hide will fit your space? First, measure the area and compare it to the dimensions listed for each product. If you want something a bit larger as a compact rug, check out the S size. If you’re looking for something even smaller for styling, the mini cowhides are a great option. I’ve categorized the hides by size:

• XS: smaller than 2.00 m²
• S: 2.01–2.99 m²
• M/L: 3.00–3.99 m²
• XL: starting at 4.00 m²
• XXL: the very largest pieces

Prefer a specific color?

Of course, you’ll also want to choose an XS hide based on color. For example, check out the classic black-and-white or warm brown-and-white cowhides, or browse through all the cowhides and filter by size XS.

Frequently Asked Questions

How big is an XS cowhide?

An XS cowhide has a surface area smaller than 2.00 m², with approximate dimensions of 140 × 120 cm (about 1.40 meters long). Each hide is unique in size, so I measure them all in centimeters. You’ll find the exact dimensions listed with each product.

What do you use an XS cowhide for?

Perfect as an accent: in front of a chair, in a small corner or entryway, draped over a chair or stool, or layered over a larger rug. It’s the cowhide look in a small, convenient size.

What’s the difference between XS and S?

XS is the smallest size (under 2.00 m², approximately 140 × 120 cm) and is primarily an accent piece. S is slightly larger (approximately 190 × 160 cm) and still works well as a compact rug in a smaller space.

What’s the difference between an XS cowhide and a mini cowhide?

An XS is the smallest size among standard cowhides. The mini cowhides are even smaller and are primarily intended for styling and decoration, such as on a table or as a small wall accent.

Will I receive the exact cowhide shown in the photo?

Yes. Each hide is photographed, measured, and numbered individually. The hide in the photo is exactly the one you’ll receive—one of a kind.

How do I care for an XS cowhide?

Very low maintenance. Cowhides have short hair: just vacuum them occasionally on a low setting, without a rotating brush. No need to shake them out (for a small hide, you can gently tap it out at most). To remove a small stain, dab it with a slightly damp cloth. You can find detailed tips on maintaining and cleaning cowhides.
