The Nguni Craze

The Nguni is a cattle breed indigenous to Southern Africa. A hybrid of different Indian and later European cattle breeds, they were introduced by Bantu-speaking tribes (Nguni people) to Southern Africa during their migration from the North of the continent. The distinctive pattern of the African Nguni cow hide is used to hand craft decorative leather carpets, suede cushions, leather handbags, belts and other nguni cow hide products, creating a trendy yet durable item with a unique African flavor. Nguni hides, known all over the world have become highly sought after and desired!
