Cowhide
Owen Barry Cowhides are a signature part of all our collections, quite a few are limited editions developed exclusively for OB and will not be available anywhere else throughout the UK & Europe.
At this point, for the sake of clarity, we should emphasise that all our hair on products are Cowhide (not pony) and are 100% a bi-product of the food industry.
Acido is a stunning finish applied to the cowhides, each hide is individual, the hair has been removed at random, making every skin totally individual, where the hair loss occurs a finish/colour has been applied, our most popular spotting/. finishes being, Silver, Gold & Rancho Brown.
Tricolour is a description that encompasses a variety of natural cowhides, Tricolour, technically means including 3 colours, usually, shades of Browns/Tans, Whites/Beiges & Blacks to differing degrees, these markings are all natural and NO two pieces are the same. Owen Barry, select only the prettiest of cowhides, and our cutters hand select and cut them to ensure a good variety and attractive placement within every bag.
Printed Cowhides These are the most uniform of our cowhide, still 100% a bi-product of the food industry these skins have been selected for their uniformity (within reason, this is always a natural product) and then the screen printing finish applied - so, standard joke, there have been no Dalmatian puppies, Zebra's or Leopards etc. killed in the making of our bags, everything is just printed - very nicely printed, but nothing more than that.
Laser cut Cowhides The laser cutting process has been applied to the cowhides, patterns and styles can range from geometrical, thru floral and unclude things like "croc" finishes, this laser cutting adds another layer of texture and variety to our cowhides.
Nubuk Leather
Nubuk is a very specific kind of leather that some people "wrongly" confuse as suede.
Nubuk is actually a grain leather that has the surface buffed gently to remove the grain finish thereby exposing the softer skin from below the grain which has a soft velvet slightly sueded feel.
Usually, only the very finest leathers can be selected and used to create nubuk as there is "no hiding place" for defect or markings, this also means that the skin itself is super tactile and has a glorious touch to hand.
Because the protective leather top surface has been removed from the skin, this means the skin performs much more like suede than leather, so you have to be a little bit careful with oil and grease, and over time the nap can flatten (like suede) so a regular buff with the foam side of a dry scouring pad, will have the effect of lightly buffing off dirt and revitalising the nubuk finish.
