KANGAROO LEATHER

COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY IS A MAJOR FACET OF OUR DESIGN ETHOS. ONE OF THE PRIMARY MATERIALS WE WORK WITH TO SUPPORT OUR STUDIO’S SUSTAINABLE AND ETHICAL INITIATIVES IS KANGAROO LEATHER.

KANGAROO LEATHER IS ONE OF THE MOST ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE LEATHERS. UNLIKE OTHER LEATHER SOURCES, KANGAROOS ARE WILD, NOT FARMED, AND POPULATIONS ARE CAREFULLY MANAGED IN AUSTRALIA TO MAINTAIN ECOLOGICAL BALANCE. USING KANGAROO LEATHER ENSURES THAT WE’RE WORKING WITH A RENEWABLE, NATURALLY SOURCED UNIQUE MATERIAL, WHICH DOESN’T CONTRIBUTE TO LIVESTOCK POLLUTION.

KANGAROO LEATHER IS VERY STRONG FOR ITS WEIGHT, MORE RESISTANT TO STRETCHING AND TEARING THAN COWHIDE, ALLOWING US TO CREATE UNIQUE, LONG LASTING, HIGH QUALITY PIECES. WE SPECIFICALLY SOURCE THE MOST UNIQUE KANGAROO HIDES WHICH BRING OUT THE NATURAL GRAIN TEXTURE OF EACH SKIN, WITH NATURAL MARKINGS AND SHADINGS LEFT TO ENHANCE THE PIECES’ DISTINCTIVE QUALITY.

BY SOURCING KANGAROO LEATHER RESPONSIBLY AND FROM LOCAL SUPPLIERS, WE ENSURE OUR MATERIALS ALIGN WITH BOTH SUSTAINABLE AND ETHICAL FASHION PRACTICES. DESIGNING WITH THESE MATERIALS, AS OPPOSED TO POPULAR ALTERNATIVES, HELPS REDUCE RELIANCE ON INDUSTRIAL FARMING AND SUPPORTS SLOW FASHION PRINCIPLES, WHILE SHOWCASING THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF THE AUSTRALIAN FAUNA.
