Axis Deer is certainly the most beautiful of all deer species. They are originally from India and Pakistan but were introduced to places like Texas, Florida and Hawaii in the USA, Argentina in South America, as well as Australia. The axis deer, whose populations are controlled by tigers in India, had very few predators in other countries where they were introduced, quickly becoming too abundant and needing culling. Many Indian religions and yoga practices use axis deer skins for worship and meditation. Their hides make gorgeous small accent rugs or pillows. 

 The name speaks for itself. These are the skins of young deer. Therefore, the coloration is not that well defined and the size will be significantly smaller. Some customers who manufacture bags prefer the small hides due to their soft hair and thin substance.

These are large size skins with minimal damage which are commonly used for upholstery. One can cut a panel size of 26H" X 21W" from these skins where the panel will not have any significant imperfections.

The rug grade skins are nice in quality and appearance but they will present small holes, stitches or repairs. We call them rug grade because they make a perfect quality for being used as a floor rug or to drape over a sofa. 

GIANT SIZE are the biggest sizes we offer. They come from very mature bucks and will have substantially thicker neck areas than smaller hides. That means the neck cannot always be used  for manufacturing. These hides will often be larger than 40HX38W" and are priced according to their size and quality.
