About our Hides & Skins

To learn about our ethically sourced natural hides from Argentina

Our natural sheepskin, goatskin, fox fur, and otter skin originate from Patagonia Argentina. Renowned for its rich rural heritage, Argentina is recognized as one of the finest suppliers of cowhides in the world.

The artisanal tanning process gives our hides a silky, soft, and beautifully finished texture, enhancing their exceptional quality to be cherished and loved for generations.

Ethical Sourcing & Sustainability

100% Ethically Sourced & Fair Trade: All our hides are produced within a fair-trade environment as by-products of the meat industry, ensuring that no animals are raised or used solely for their hides. This promotes the conscious and efficient use of a renewable natural resource.

Organic & Biodegradable: Real fur is 100% organic and fully biodegradable. In contrast, synthetic (faux) fur is produced from petrochemicals that do not easily decompose and remain in landfills for centuries.

Artisanal Heritage & Regulation: Each piece is individually hand-cut and sewn by skilled artisans preserving centuries-old traditions. Additionally, for the commercialization of natural fox and otter fur, PITUCA is officially registered with National Wildlife, supporting regulated programs that help maintain balanced, healthy wildlife populations.

Quality, Uniqueness & Natural Properties

One-of-a-Kind Pieces: At PITUCA, we carefully select every hide based on hair density, tanning excellence, tone, and dimensions. Natural variations and unique textures are authentic hallmarks of a genuine, one-of-a-kind piece.

Sheep Wool Properties: Rich in natural lanolin and composed of 100% protein, sheep wool is naturally water-repellent and creates an environment inhospitable to bacteria growth. Being a completely natural material, natural white sheepskins carry an authentic, subtle cream/yellowish undertone.
