Material with Intent
Kangaroo Leather Responsibly Sourced in Australia
Valued for its exceptional strength, lightness, and natural resistance to wear, Kangaroo Leather allows us to create bags that feel effortless to carry while standing up to daily use. Its durability supports lighter construction and a longer product life, reducing the need for replacement.
Kangaroo leather is sourced in Australia as a by-product of the food industry, under strict government management programs. These programs support balanced population levels and responsible land stewardship. By choosing a material that already exists within this system, we are making considered use of a natural resource. It is a deliberate step toward creating pieces that are lighter on the environment and designed to age beautifully over time.
