About Us

The Skin Thing is an ethical, family-owned business specialising in superior quality animal products. After operating on the Sunshine Coast for over 50 years, we’re leaders in the industry. That means we know how to spot a damn good cowhide a mile away.

Reliable partnerships are at the heart of what we do. It’s why we scoured the globe to find our main supplier — located in beautiful Brazil. Responsible sourcing and ethical manufacturing is an indispensable mission that informs every decision we make.

We also have a proudly zero-waste philosophy. You might be wondering what ‘zero-waste’ means in the animal product industry. For us, it means every scrap of cowhide and sheepskin we source finds a home. We’re diligent about ensuring less environmental pollution and helping the planet, one hide at a time.

Why choose Us?

Whether you’re on the hunt for an A grade cowhide rug, snuggly ugg boots, a luxe sheepskin or unique deerskin, we offer an exclusive product range you won’t find anywhere else in Australia.

Our inventory is hand-picked and inspected by our sourcing team, guaranteeing high-grade product at a competitive price. That means all of our hides have what we call natural marks and spots and have no major patches or missing hair, they lay nicely and look lavish. If you find a lower price anywhere else for the same item, let us know. We’ll gladly match it!

We understand that not every rug suits every room — finding the perfect pairing takes trial and error. If you’re ever unsatisfied with your purchase, we’ll always offer you a chance to exchange and find your dream match.
