In my previous blog I mentioned we would be producing a City Cows You Tube video to commemorate the many colours of natural cowhide. These numerous colours of cowhide got me thinking about a rainbow of different colours and from there it was a quick trip in my mind to thinking about the classic song sung by Judy Garland in the Wizard of Oz. So here it is together with a more upbeat modern take on the same tune by the group Hit Nation.

So many diverse colours of cowhides and so little time – so why not come over and get a look at one of the UK’s largest on-line merchants of affordable, high quality, chromium tanned, South American cowhide rugs and cowhide accessories at City Cows. We have 100s of happy shoppers who have previously bought and our numbers are growing every day.

Here are some of our vast range of coloured cowhides at City Cows !

The Rainbow Colours of Cowhide

Cowhide is a wonderfully versatile product of nature and is extremely hard wearing, economical and an ideal style option for your home whether you want to use it as rug, carpet or throw to put over a sofa or chair.

Maybe you can’t find a colour that matches your style choices in the natural range then I’m sure you’ll find a perfect match in our extensive range of dyed cowhide rugs and carpets. So whether it’s a black and white cowhide you want or dyed funky vivid orange cowhides we have them all at City Cows.

In my next entry I’ll be profiling our brand new You Tube video Over the Cowhide Rainbow –I was inspired by the classic Oscar winning Hollywood Film – The Wizard of Oz and the simply brilliant song Over the Rainbow sung by Judy Garland and we’ll also be showing in this videos a selection of our wonderful natural colour range and styles .
