The kangaroo is one of Australia’s most iconic and beloved native animals. Found only in Australia, kangaroos hold a special place in the hearts of both locals and visitors — which is why kangaroo skin rugs are such a sought-after and meaningful souvenir, especially among international travellers.
There are several species of kangaroo across Australia, with the most common being the Eastern Grey Kangaroo (Macropus giganteus) and the Red Kangaroo (Macropus rufus). The Eastern Grey is particularly known for its soft, long grey fur, which gives the finished hide a beautiful texture. Kangaroo skin rugs do not differ between male and female hides — each one is naturally unique.
Kangaroo skins are incredibly versatile, with uses only limited by your creativity. Traditionally, they’ve been used as floor rugs, wall hangings, and decorative throws over furniture. They also hold cultural significance, having been used in the making of Traditional Aboriginal Cloaks.
Whether used for styling or storytelling, kangaroo skins are a genuine expression of Australian heritage and nature.
