Natural animal rawhides with hair/fur still attached are cleaned and nished by hand. They are moisture resistant and
biodegradable. Surya uses only cow and sheepskin hides and since no two animals have exactly the same markings or coloration,
every product made with Hair on Hide or Sheepskin will have natural variation in shape, markings and coloration.

resilient with natural oils that provide softness. Dyed and undyed wool products will vary in shade from piece to piece and will fade
with exposure to sunlight. All wool sheds, however this varies depending on the quality and will reduce over time.
