It’s cold outside! Well, that’s to be expected, it’s winter and most of us are wrapping up. But those folk whose feet turn to ice when the frost bites should know about a ‘jumper’ meant for one’s tootsies!

Ethically-sourced Australian kangaroo leather is beinghandcrafted into luxury slides, slippers and boots for men and women, sought after because they are practical, fashionable and will keep feet toasty warm.

In Australia, kangaroos are harvested usingstringent ethical and environmentally- sustainable processes to produce high quality meat but it tookKarmine Leather founder, Ray Borda’s foresight to start a footwear business as a by-product ofhis kangaroo meat processing company. He saw it as a practical way to make principled use ofthe skins.

Ray named the brand after his late mother who was a keen seamstress and cook. As one ofher five children, he was a natural entrepreneur; a pioneer ofthe Australian kangaroo meat market for more than 30 years.

Today, his Karmine Leather footwear is applauded for beingsustainably and ethically sourced, light-weight and comfortable, handcrafted, water, stain and heat resistant and easy to clean with a hard-wearingsole.
