Description

Our Kangaroo Offcuts come from the same premium-grade hides used in full kangaroo leather production — meaning you get all the benefits of tough, lightweight, and beautiful leather, just in smaller, more affordable pieces.

Every batch is hand-sorted to ensure clean, usable pieces suitable for braiding, patchwork, reinforcement, testing, and small craft designs. The leather may include both natural and dyed sections, offering a versatile range of tones and textures to work with.
