The best-selling Leather Hippopotamus from Omersa is an utterly distinct, head-turning home addition crafted from a supple British cowhide leather.

Bursting with animal panache, this decorative accessory has been painstakingly hand-stained, waxed and buffed for a radiant shine, beautifully epitomising the brand’s long-standing heritage and authentic hand-crafting techniques. With a patina that grows and evolves over time, this statement piece is set to become a contemporary family heirloom that will be treasured for generations to come. The leather hippo is perfectly and distinctively formed with rounded ears, large nostrils and a sturdy, shredded pine wood interior that is built to last. It will seamlessly enhance lacklustre living space, whether used as a desk mascot, mantelpiece accessory or simply as a show-stopping decorative companion.

Omersa created their first leather pig in 1927, and it was sold at Liberty. The English full grain cowhide leather, made specifically for Omersa, is hand stained, waxed and polished to create a luxurious rich brown antique finish. A small team of 10 skilled tradesmen in Lincoln design each leather animal, producing one-of-a-kind footstools and desktop accessories.
