We stock a number of beautiful and much sought-after Nguni hides that are also highly functional and often used as 'rugs' or furniture coverings both for their decorative beauty and warmth. The most distinctive feature of an Nguni hide is its flamboyantly differentiated colour patterns in a wide spectrum of colour variations.

South Africa's indigenous Nguni cattle, long the mainstay of traditional Zulu culture, are one of the most beautiful breeds of cattle in the world, with their variously patterned and multicoloured hides being in much demand everywhere. Although the Zulu and other southern African people have always valued and celebrated their herds, it is only in recent years that the intrinsic qualities of Nguni cattle have been appreciated by the authorities, scientists and commercial breeders of European origin.
Nguni cattle have a unique and fascinating history and their hides are said to influence the good fortunes and social circumstances of the people who own them.
