TRI2844 is a one-of-a-kind Tri Colour Nguni cow hide featuring creamy white contrasted by large deep chocolate-brown patches with rich chestnut undertones and smaller scattered brown markings throughout. This hide is classified as AA Superior Grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts combination of three naturally occurring tones creates a distinctive pattern that cannot be reproduced. The hide shown in the product photographs is the exact hide you will receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThree Colours, One Unique Heritage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe remarkable colours and markings of Nguni cattle hides have been shaped by generations of South African farming heritage. Tri Colour hides are especially admired for the way three natural shades come together within a single hide, creating depth, contrast and a truly individual design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hide has been ethically sourced within South Africa and professionally finished in our own tannery in Dundee, KwaZulu-Natal. It is locally sourced and locally finished—not imported.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUnderstanding Tri Colour and Grade\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTri Colour refers to the hide’s natural colouring and pattern—it is not a quality grade.\u003c\/strong\u003e A Tri Colour hide may fall within any of our grading categories, including AA Superior, AA Grade, A Grade Superior, A Grade, B Grade Superior or B Grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts grade is determined by its natural condition, hair quality and the presence of markings such as branding, healed scars, hair variations or carefully completed repairs. Every grade undergoes the same professional tanning and finishing process in our tannery. The grade reflects the hide’s natural condition—not a difference in tanning quality or workmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural markings can add character and individuality to a Tri Colour hide. For many customers, these details form an important part of its beauty, telling a deeper story shaped by the animal, the land and South Africa’s farming traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Tri Colour Prices Differ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Tri Colour Nguni hide is priced individually. The price is influenced by its grade, the rarity and balance of its three colours, the distinctiveness of its natural pattern and the demand for that particular colour combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA hide with an especially rare, well-balanced or striking Tri Colour pattern may therefore carry a higher price than another hide of the same grade. Likewise, a more characterful Tri Colour hide in a lower grade may offer excellent value while still displaying the rare colouring that makes this category so desirable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine South African Tri Colour Nguni hide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEthically sourced within South Africa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished in our own Dundee tannery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndividually photographed—the exact hide shown is the one you will receive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree delivery throughout South Africa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Nguni Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43849588441155,"sku":null,"price":5400.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/5400\/1475\/files\/TRI2843.jpg?v=1787926278","url":"https:\/\/thengunishop.co.za\/products\/tri-colour-nguni-hide-dark-brown-chestnut-white-tri2844-2-2m-x-2-3m","provider":"The Nguni Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
