Dear Kirsty, We love our possum skin throw. The chocolate colour is so rich, and the fur shines beautifully, highlighting the natural variations in the pelts. On colder nights we throw it on top of our covers. It feels light and warm. I LOVE the feel of the fur brushing against my skin. It is one of those rare purchases that fill me with delight and happiness every time I think of it or see it. My only regret is that we didn't get one a long time ago.

Dear Kirsty, The two calf skins arrived this morning, thank you. They look great in place and I am very pleased with their result. It's always a bit difficult working off a website photo but they are exactly as I envisaged them. Only one complaint - my husband stole your chocolate! Many thanks for your prompt attention.

Hi Kirsty, The rug arrived today and it's beautiful. We have another hide we had done years ago, but this one sits so much flatter and is lovely and glossy. Regards, Duncan and Bridget Chrystall (submitted with the permission of the customer)

Gorgeous Creatures in Newton has a fabulous range of the best quality cow hides around. We brought one last year for our lounge area and have been really supprised at the durability and quality of it. We have two young kids, a dog and a cat and the hide still looks new! Recently our home was used as part of a school fundraiser where a few selected homes were on show for ticket holders to view. The idea was to give people a taste of varying renovation styles, budgets, and stages. The house looked great - as you can see from the photo's! I personally thank you Kirsty and I'd also like to extend a massive thank you from Balmoral School as all funds raised from this project went to the school and our kids. Awsome! Thanks again - we'll be back! (Submitted with the permission of the customer by Sasha)

It has been a delightful experience obtaining an ottoman from Gorgeous Creatures. From the outset we were after a very particular colour in the hide. Kirsty invited us to take numerous hides home on trial. When none suited she put in an order for one on a no obligations basis. It was perfect. Kirsty also visited our home to ensure we were completely happy with the hide and to help us decide on the dimensions of the ottoman. Nothing was too much trouble. Ultimately the completed product was delivered on time and looks fantastic. Now we are tempted to order another one! (Submitted with the permission of the customer by Mr G Hall)

Dear Kirsty, I can not thank you enough. The package arrived today with the items that I ordered from you. The package was in great shape (having traveled almost 9,000 miles [over 14,000 kilometres) and the items were exactly what I was looking for!! I also have to tell you that you are just a delight to have met and talked to (both on-line and over the phone) and you were unbelievably helpful in making sure I ordered and received exactly what I was looking for. You were also extremely helpful in working with me to determine the appropriate method of shipping. In today's world, as one searches on-line for an item it is extremely difficult to know who you are dealing with and whether or not the person and company are honest and responsible and whether or not the product will be of high quality and whether or not it will even come as promised. However, you (and Gorgeous Creatures) are a company that exemplifies how businesses can and should operate and deal with customers. You are helping to define what customer service should be. I look forward to recommending you to all of my friends and, in fact, I am looking forward to figuring out what else I can order from you, as I do look forward to the possibility of working with you again. Kirsty - you are wonderful!! Regards, Marc Casslar, Director Vintage Dance Society

Added on behalf of Fiona, Interior Designer, Auckland..... I am more than happy to recommend "Gorgeous Creatures" to clients and friends as the best boutique retailer of cow-skin rugs in New Zealand and Australia. Kirsty has an amazing eye for selecting beautiful colour, texture and quality - rugs that will perfectly complement both traditional and contemporary interiors. I've also been impressed by her expert knowledge of the product and extremely grateful for her willingness to go beyond the call of duty to get a "gorgeous creature" delivered to me!

I absolutely love my possum merino top and scarf. It is deliciously warm, soft, and feels wonderful to wear. Wool usually irritates my skin, makes me itchy and can encourage my eczema, so the possum merino is perfect for my sensitive skin.

You are not going to believe this but my gorgeous cow hides and gloves arrived at 10.30 this morning!!!!!!!!!! Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!! Derek was here to sign. I just got home from work and couldn't believe it!! They are absolutely beautiful and so so soft. The cream one is just lovely and my favourite (the black and white one) is actually on our bed at the moment. I just love them. The gloves are so soft and warm. We are going to save and purchase from you one of the black possum throws and definitely one of your ottomans or footstools. I have never had anything arrive so quickly before. I am still in shock!!! Thank you so so much Kirsty, have a great day. - Louise - Mittagong- Australia (Submitted with permission from the customer by Gorgeous Creatures)

I've been meaning to write and let you know that my sister really liked the knit wear. She absolutely loved the Flax coloured set (her favourite and mine), really liked the navy/purple [Harbour] as well. She had a trip to Rotorua which was cold enough to bring out the new gear and I'm sure the temps this week will be similar! My niece has taken the polka dot hat and has not had it off her head apparently. Thank you so much. Katrina - Auckland - New Zealand.

Wow, if you want to know about good quality leather, cowhide, fur. This is the lady to talk to. Do not buy a Opossum throw or Cowhide Rug until you have spoken to this lady. She will tell you all about the traps, cheap and nasty's, care, uses, price, origins. The knowledge she has is just awesome. I have learnt so much from her I wouldn't buy from anyone else because I know the care, quality and attention she provides and trust her knowledge 100%.

Thank you also for making all of my visits to your store such easy and enjoyable ones! I am loving all of my purchases (rugs etc) and my kids (myself included) are enjoying the possum fur. It drapes the family couch and never stays put as my kids love to snuggle in it, even at this time of the year!! I was a bit nervous about having it on the couch all the time (dirt, kids etc..) but it is one of the easiest, fuss free pieces in our lounge. It doesnt crease and is exceptionally easy to spot clean!! and the calf skin underside is divine, well worth the extra in price. I will most definitely be back some time in the future and look forward to the new launch! Sharleen - Auckland - New Zealand. (Submitted with permission from the customer by Debandada)

There is a New Zealand children's picture book called Cow Power by Kim Riley about a dairy cow in Shannon who saved a farmer. The kids wanted to name 'our cow' so they dug out that book and she was christened - "569". A very special cow and a very special rug. We, the kids and the dog - love it! Emma & John - Wellington - New Zealand. (Submitted with permission from the customer by Debandada)

Just a quick email to let you know that my cows and reindeer etc arrived just now, with no problems through customs. I absolutely LOVE the product, it is even better than I thought it would be, the colours and textures are beyond perfect for our house. And the wallet/bag I bought for my mum as a present, just might be staying in my possession (haha). Thank you so much! Many thanks, Corinne Sydney NSW - Australia.

Hi Kirsty, Thank you for your efforts. The possum skin is exactly as we wanted, and you are quite right, the colour of it changes dramatically in the light. We appreciate greatly the trouble you went to, not only in obtaining exactly what we were after, but in getting our possum fur ready under time pressure for transport to Hong Kong. Your expertise, enthusiasm and dedication to the business should be commended, and we will not hesitate to recommend this business to prospective clients in the future. Regards Andrew and Melike Richardson - Hong Kong. (Submitted with permission from the customer by Debandada)

The hide arrived only 2 days after my order; it's beautiful and I'm thrilled and it is going to look spectacular in my new house [moving in in 10 days] on a pale wood floor along with dark tan leather sofas and a dark wood exotic huge coffee table. Many thanks. Juliet - Wanganui, New Zealand. (Submitted with permission from the customer by Debandada)

Every time children visit my home they go straight to my cowhide rug and roll around on it. Kids absolutely love it. It is a joy to watch their happiness. I think they love the tactile softness. This was an unexpected bonus, thank you for everything. Susan - Auckland, New Zealand (Submitted with permission from the customer by Debandada)

A friend came over and as she was undoing the box, then the bag I got so excited. It truly is magnificent, the colours amazing softer than silk (or at least as soft). I'm so glad that I trusted my judgement when I saw it on the site. I just kept going back to the image, knowing it was the one. Thank you sooooo much, I will treasure it.

Dear Kirsty, We love our possum skin throw. The chocolate colour is so rich, and the fur shines beautifully, highlighting the natural variations in the pelts. On colder nights we throw it on top of our covers. It feels light and warm. I LOVE the feel of the fur brushing against my skin. It is one of those rare purchases that fill me with delight and happiness every time I think of it or see it. My only regret is that we didn't get one a long time ago.
