Nguni Cowhide Slippers
Nguni Cowhide Slippers

Nguni cows are the favoured breed of cattle of African tribesmen as they are highly fertile and strongly resistant to disease. They are generally spotty with large curved horns.
Rain stocks a range of slippers made from these spotted hides.
Rain has a strong and fiercely defended policy of being animal friendly and have chosen to stock these slippers with a fully clear conscience that these hides come as a by product to the meat industry where these cattle are bred and slaughtered primarily for food and not for their skins.
