Not all leathers are made equal. This wallet has been made from the finest vegetable-tanned Kangaroo leather. All made, tanned and sourced within Australia. Unlike cheaper leathers it will not tarnish. Instead it will patina and get better with age. This wallet will last you years to come.

A short explanation of the wallet and tips on use.
Why use Kangaroo leather?
Kangaroo leather is the worlds thinnest and strongest leather. Its circular grain makes it one of the highest tensile strength leathers. This makes it perfect for making wallets.
Ethics and Environmental Impact of Kangaroo Leather?
Kangaroo leather is one of the more ethical and environmentally friendly leathers produced. The kangaroo industry is heavily regulated in Australia. Kangaroos are not farmed in Australia. They are all culled in the wild and the leather is just a by-product of the meat production and population control.
Traditional live stock produces a large volume of greenhouse gases and hard hooves destroy the land in which they graze. Kangaroos do not produce methane and have much less of an impact on the land they inhabit.
No kangaroos a culled and raised for their leather.
A note on Kangaroo leather
Kangaroo leather has a noticeable grain. As Kangaroos aren't farmed much of there leather can have small marks and scars. I do my best to avoid scars when cutting from the hide.
