Owen Barry Cowhide Cow Doorstop Multi Metallic Acido Assorted

Much like the OB Sheep and Dog doorstops, the OB Cow doorstops have become equally famous in their own right!!.

Shown here hand cut from a variety of cowhide & leather this stunning Cow doorstop makes an undeniable statement.

We select from our vast portfolio of cowhides & leathers within a palette, to ensure every Cow is individual, no two beasties will be the same.

The ears and the upper back are cowhide, the rest of the beast is a combination of glorious leathers in toning colours - right down to his tassle tail.

Ideal in a variety of settings, but as a gift for a farmer or rural-based family, this seems like a no-brainer!

Filled with a mixture of Sheepskin wadding, gravel and sand ensure a tactile feel whilst giving a sensible weight.

These Cows should not be used as toys, because although the gravel & sand contents are tightly handsewn inside, OB cannot be responsible for any bursts or breakages if inappropriately used.

• Handmade in our workshop in Somerset, UK
• Each one unique
• Filled with a mixture of sheepskin scrap (for padding) sand & gravel for weight

Dimensions: H 22 CM x W 23 CM x D 33 CM

Classic Leather

The Owen Barry Classic Leathers are one of the most popular leathers within our handbag collection.

Classic is semi-aniline cow leather that has been developed and hand selected by OB, it's super tactile, rounded, lightweight and hardwearing (with normal usage) and performs exceptionally well within the soft unstructured styling of the Owen Barry Range.

Because it is a semi-aniline leather, which is, by definition quite naked, you will see slight variations in the characteristics of the grain and subtle natural markings with our classic leathers,  we feel this aspect enhances the beauty of our bags and enables the quality of the leather to really shine through.

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.

Glace Leather

Glace leather has been used in our handbag collections for many seasons, it is an Italian leather, that has been selected because of it's subtly of colour and popular smooth glossy finish.

Glace is very popular, but you must be aware that it is quite a fine leather, that means light colours especially can be prone to getting grubby and will mark over time.  Also the flat surface grain will soften or slightly distress with repeated usage, unless you are super protective of your bag, this is unavoidable; we don't mind this ageing and feel bags made from these skins become a bit like all of us, growing older and a little more broken in around the edges over time.

Heavy Metal Leather

Heavy Metal Leather - is our way of describing metallic leathers that go just that little bit further !!

Heavy Metals are traditionally skins with an extra layer of design finish, so whether it is the fine metallic reptile graining on the Palladium & Titanium or the sumptuous metallic dust on Rock, Mermaid or Oyster, These finishes just take the metallic leather palette to another level.

Heavy metals are quite often, semi-limited editions and will only feature in a collection for a couple of seasons. Most often they are combined with another leather from within our collection, thereby perhaps lifting a popular bag shape to a whole other layer - stunning.

Metallic Leather

Metallic leather plays an important role in the Owen Barry collection.

Often OB metallic leather is a stunning foil used with Cowhides and Heavy Metal feature skins, but actually, it is stunningly beautiful in its own right.

Soft, tactile and not too shiny, all of our metallic leathers are hand selected, the skins are very natural and only finished with a metallic top dress to a certain level of protection ( otherwise they become very hard, boardy and plastic looking - not nice!!).  So with reasonable wear and tear, they will be fine, but much like us all, too much robust treatment and they will start to show the effects of life, we love that - a bag is for using not for looking at - and especially a metallic bag, let it shine !.
