Zebra Hides


In our search for the downright impactful, we have now secured a reliable source for genuine Zebra hides, direct from South Africa.

Zebra come in two groups... Hartman and Birchell (which has wider stripes that continue under the animal). The zebra's distinguishing marks are the unique black or brown stripes, which are akin to the fingerprints on humans... making each skin unique. They are graded according to naturally occurring blemishes from Super A Grade through A, B and C.

And in-case you were wondering... the Zebra hides are sourced from government-sponsored culls, with the purpose of maintaining herds to prevent over population. They are professionally tanned and come with the necessary documentation.
