Cowhide baby Christmas stocking, Normande brown, black, white, 17x13cm

Christmas is a time for togetherness, good food, and a beautifully decorated Christmas tree. And, of course, Christmas stockings by the fireplace are a must—even for the youngest member of the family. Not just simple red-and-white socks, but a real cowhide baby Christmas stocking that no one else has.

This cowhide baby Christmas stocking in Normande brown, black, and white is handmade from a beautiful piece of hair-on cowhide on the front and sturdy brown leather on the back. Measuring approximately 17x13 cm, it’s a small baby size: perfect for your baby’s first Christmas, as a little stocking next to the rest of the family’s large Christmas stockings, or as a decoration on the Christmas tree. The pattern comes from the animal itself, so no two stockings are alike. Hang it on the mantel, the stairs, or a closet, and you’ll instantly create a warm, rustic Christmas atmosphere in your home.

You won’t find these Christmas stockings at any other store in Europe. If you bring one home, you’ll have a truly special piece of Christmas decor that you’ll bring out year after year.

Where does the tradition of the Christmas stocking come from?

The story goes back to Saint Nicholas, who secretly placed a bag of gold in the stockings that three daughters had hung by the fireplace to dry. Ever since then, we’ve been hanging up stockings in anticipation of a gift. Where gold coins used to go, we now fill them with little treats and trinkets.

How to use the cowhide Christmas stocking

By the fireplace or open hearth

The classic spot. Hang the baby sock next to the big Christmas stockings belonging to Dad, Mom, and the brothers or sisters, and the whole family is represented.

On the Christmas tree or on the closet

Thanks to its small size, the sock also makes a unique Christmas tree ornament. It looks just as good hanging from a banister, a cabinet knob, or a hook on the door.

As a baby shower gift or a gift for the first Christmas

Give the little sock to the new parents, perhaps filled with a small gift. A gift that comes back every year at Christmas. Also a nice idea for Sinterklaas.

Each Christmas stocking photographed and measured individually

We’ll always send you the baby Christmas stocking shown in the photo. I photograph each one individually so you can see exactly which pattern you’re getting, and I measure them one by one. The measurements are always approximate, because a natural product simply doesn’t have straight edges.

A byproduct given a second life

The cowhide used in these Christmas stockings is a byproduct of the meat industry. Without tanning, it would simply be destroyed. By tanning it and handcrafting it into a Christmas stocking, it is given a second life and nothing goes to waste.

How do you care for a cowhide Christmas stocking?

The Christmas stocking is virtually maintenance-free. Remove dust by gently tapping it out or brushing it with a soft brush every now and then. Remove dried-on dirt with a slightly damp cloth. After the holidays, it’s best to store it flat and dry, in a box or a cotton bag, so it will look great again next year.
