Bowron Rugs
The Bowron name has been synonymous with the world’s finest sheepskin products for over 100 years, and we stock only the ‘Gold Star’ grade of rug – the top of the range.
Bowron rugs are made exclusively from New Zealand sheepskins and are processed here at their tannery in our beautiful South Island. Rugs are then finished and made ready for sale here and overseas.
Their exacting standards commit them to conducting their business in an environmentally sensitive manner and to producing products that are high quality, sustainable and safe.
- Easy to care for and exceptionally long lasting, Bowron sheepskin rugs are as soft as a cloud and are available as single rugs or as multiple skins.
- Bowron use specifically chosen, non-persistent, biodegradable chrome free chemicals that meet the requirements of REACH standards. This relates to all chemicals and dyes used throughout the process.
Sheepskin Care and Storage
Sheepskin is incredibly easy to care for, it has an inherent natural ability to repel dirt and liquid.
A regular vacuum using the standard nozzle (only) or shaking the rug is generally all that is required to keep your sheepskin clean.
Your product may have been tightly packaged for shipping and so the wool may appear flattened. Wool fibers are very resilient and will bounce back to their original soft, fluffy appearance with a vigorous shake. Lay the skin flat and any fold marks will disappear naturally after a few days.
In the event further cleaning is required then please follow these specific guidelines
Spot Cleaning
– For small soiled areas, moisten a soft cloth with luke warm water
– Clean affected area using gentle circular motions, DO NOT rub

– Allow to dry and gently brush with Carding brush
Baby Cocoon Care: Shake or regular vacuum will keep baby’s cocoon clean. Any small spills can be easily spot cleaned, if further washing required we recommend Dryclean only.

First of all, I would like to thank ecowool and the Bowron craftsmen who provided us with this incredible rug. Exquisite and well-made.
I’m using the quarto rug as my underlay bed sheet. I sleep like a dream. It keeps you warm, yet cool and feels amazing on your skin. Lanolin is a beauty.
Easy to keep clean too. Give’er a shake every morning and a brush here and there. Wash with wool wash when necessary but follow the instructions on the bottle and/or rug! You probably don’t want to ruin it.
Don’t scrimp and buy the cheap sheepskins from the online auction websites. It’s well worth the extra bucks (AND it includes free shipping so why not?). These will last and the ‘el Cheapos’ won’t.
It took 11 days to ship the parcel to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Not too shabby! Who knows how long it sat in customs though…
I can’t speak for the Windward or ecowool rugs but you will be more than happy with what arrives in the mail.
I rate this rug 5 beers out of 5. Buy one!
T Peace T.
