Australian Kangaroo Skin
Rare. Natural. Unmistakably Australian.
The kangaroo is one of Australia's most iconic animals — and its hide is among the finest natural skins in the world. Remarkably soft yet exceptionally strong, kangaroo skin has been prized for generations for its unique combination of lightness, durability, and natural beauty.
Each Eira Country kangaroo skin is first grade quality, ethically sourced, and selected for its character and condition. No two skins are alike — the natural variations in tone, texture, and marking are part of what makes each one singular.
Red Kangaroo The Red Kangaroo is Australia's largest marsupial. Males carry a warm reddish-brown coat while females are a softer blue-grey. The fur is fine, dense, and beautifully tactile.
Grey Kangaroo The Grey Kangaroo has a greyish-brown coat with a longer, lusher fur than the Red — giving it a distinctly rich and textural quality.

Ethical Sourcing — Kangaroo Hide
We believe in being open about where our materials come from and why we choose them. Here is everything you need to know about the kangaroo hide used in this product.
WHY KANGAROO
Kangaroo hide is one of the most sustainable natural materials available in Australia. It is a byproduct of government-regulated population management, meaning no animal is harvested solely for its hide. Using this material honours the whole animal and reduces waste from an already necessary process.
Kangaroo hide is exceptionally durable, naturally soft, and requires far less land and water to produce than farmed livestock hides. It is one of the few materials with a genuinely low ecological footprint.
POPULATION MANAGEMENT IN AUSTRALIA
Kangaroos are not a threatened species. In many parts of Australia, kangaroo populations grow to levels that place significant pressure on native ecosystems, water sources, and agricultural land. When populations exceed what the land can sustainably support, they can cause serious environmental degradation — including the destruction of habitat for smaller, more vulnerable native species.
To manage this, the Australian Government administers a national commercial kangaroo harvest program under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. This program sets strictly controlled quotas each year, based on independent population surveys, to ensure harvesting remains well within sustainable limits. It is one of the most rigorously managed wildlife programs in the world.
Culling is conducted by licensed, trained professionals in the field and is subject to strict codes of practice governing humane methods. The program is audited and reviewed regularly by federal and state wildlife authorities.
OUR SOURCING COMMITMENT
The kangaroo hide used in Eira Living products is sourced exclusively from suppliers operating within Australia's national commercial harvest program. We do not source from operations outside this regulated framework.
We are committed to full traceability in our supply chain and will only work with suppliers who can demonstrate compliance with Australian wildlife regulations and humane handling standards.
A NOTE FOR INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS
We understand that kangaroo products can raise questions for customers outside Australia, where the full context of population management may not be widely known. We welcome any questions and are happy to share further information about our sourcing on request.
Please note that import restrictions on kangaroo products vary by country. It is the customer's responsibility to confirm that importation is permitted in their destination country before placing an order.
