Classic yet original; traditional yet progressive, Art Hide creates originally designed and ethically sourced leather products of an heirloom quality. Art Hide is born out of a spirit of adventure, a love of people and a vision for what brings beauty to an environment.
The company was created by Australian sisters, Kura Perkins and Bree Hay-Hendry in 2009. Entrepreneur and former PR executive Kura’s travels in South America inspired the Art Hide vision and Bree’s skills as a textile and fashion designer introduced the concept to life. The duo's expertise, combined with the traditional skills of their thorough leather-craft team and a range of cutting edge technologies, have created timeless everyday masterpieces for hundreds of clients.
Art Hide’s top quality cowhide is sourced as a by-product of the meat industry from regulated tanneries, where methods involved in tanning and dyeing are always secure for workers and are non pollutant.
Art Hide Collections
LASERED RUGS
To create Art Hide's signature laser burn cowhide rugs, we use a state of the art laser machine to burn intricate patterns into the cowhide. While bolder patterns are ingrained upon the hide's texture to create large motifs, fine repeat pattern work is used produce a feathered effect. With the natural variation of the cowhide leather, the outcome is that of elegance and luxury that come together to make the wow factor.
