About Our Leather

Our goods are made out of 100% authentic full grain, top grain and suede leather. It is a natural and durable material that has been used for thousands of years due to its strength and longevity. We DO NOT USE any 'pleather', 'Vegan Leather', Reconstituted Leather, 'Leather Filler' or low-grade Leather.

Most 'Vegan' Leathers are plastic, which means they wear quicker and end up eventually in landfill. In the 'Throw-Away' society we live in today, we would rather not contribute to the growing problem of fast-fashion and over-consumption.

The leather industry is usually misinterpreted as an 'out-dated' and 'barbaric' material, but in fact is generally a bi-product from the meat industry. We truly believe in reducing waste in the world, and ensuring the entirety of the animal is used.

Each hide we use is carefully inspected, and we’ve been sourcing the same leather from the same tanneries for a very long time. We trust these leathers and the process that goes into them to ensure they’re fit for many years of use. 

Our Kangaroo is sourced from Packer Leather Tannery in Brisbane, QLD. 

Our Cowhide is mainly sourced from highly renowned tanners from all over world. Whether it be Italy, England, Japan, Germany or South America. We occasionally use Australian Cowhide but have had trouble sourcing what we need. 

We have been using most of these leathers for over 30 years so we know that they stand the test of time.

We test each type before we use it with a water, heat and strength test, to make sure it's fit for manufacturing. We don't see the point in putting all our time into making something when the materials are of poor quality.

We don't believe in 'offcuts' and will try to use every single bit down to the size of a 5c piece.

The types of hides we use are mainly Kangaroo & Cowhide leather, with the occasional Crocodile/Ostrich skin.

It's essential to remember that quality leather is an organic material, and it is susceptible to absorbing grease, dirt and oils. It's also common for leather to have scratches and spots over time from normal use, and we believe this is evidence of your leather having an adventurous journey. Each hide will develop a natural patina according to your environment and helps make it truly one of a kind.
