Members impulse Posted June 20, 2015 Members Report Posted June 20, 2015 As an Aussie, I can testify that kangaroo leather would be superb for wallets. It is also used in top-of-the-line handbags as it holds shape well. I often give my dogs (Hungarian Vizslas) scrap ends of straps to play tug-of-war with. Cow hide lasts maybe 2 mins, while very thin kangaroo is virtually indestructible! Best place to buy is on Australian eBay (ebay.com.au). Kangaroo hides of a variety of colors often come up for sale at half price that you would pay from a tannery. Best way to promote your sales is to emphasise the quality of the leather. Good luck to you. Lois Quote
Members BondoBobCustomSaddles Posted June 20, 2015 Members Report Posted June 20, 2015 I have used Roo on lots of products, and can say without reservation, it is top drawer. I made some chaps out of it, many years ago for a guy that is an avid cutter. That was 20 years ago, to this day he raves about them and has sent me many, many , customers. They make really nice light weight durable products. Just market it as Roo, and get on with it. You will find the market for Roo is strong. Bob Quote
