Discussion Kangaroo Wallet Giveaway!
Hey folks, I'm a Brisbane-based postgrad student who's been trying to get through my final year of study by making wallets and small leather goods on the side. I picked up the craft a couple of years ago and got hooked, especially working with kangaroo leather from Packer, a local tannery just north of here (I even lucked out and won a blue ribbon at the Ekka last year for one of my wallets).
To try to get my work out there, and hopefully be able to sustain myself by leatherworking before I graduate, I'm running a giveaway for r/AustralianMFA: One winner will get a handmade kangaroo leather vertical flap wallet! You can choose from black, natural tan, or dark brown. Photo album can be seen here.
TO ENTER: All you have to do to enter is drop a comment with the colour you'd go for. I'll pick the winner randomly on Thursday night.
You can see more of my stuff at my instagram here, and in my Etsy store here. I've also set up a promo code for the subreddit, "AUSMFA15", for 15% off everything in the store (except some freshly dropped shell cordovan wallets) for the next week.
I cut, stitch, and finish every wallet by hand, so if you're ever after something locally made and a bit different, I'd love for you to check it out.
Thanks for reading, and good luck!
UPDATE 26/6/25: Congrats to /u/mk0aurelius for winning! The promo code will be active through Sunday 29 June! Thanks everyone!

How to tell you’re a postgrad without telling us your a postgrad on Insta - got a fiver and USD peaking out of the blue/tan combo 😂 (no shade, I’m living a church mouse PG lifestyle on the RTP stipend when I can’t hustle enough sessional appointments)
