Wildgrain Leather
At Hoi Bo, we hold a deep reverence for materials.
Every choice we make is guided by a commitment to lasting
design, full use, and respect for origin.
Wildgrain Leather — our name for kangaroo leather — comes from a regulated wild-harvest system in Australia, where populations are monitored and nothing is wasted: the meat is used for food, the hides for leather. We choose it because it lasts, ages with beauty, and reduces waste compared to many synthetic alternatives.
Light yet remarkably strong, Wildgrain is bark-tanned and finished with a natural hand. Over time it softens, darkens, and
develops a patina shaped by daily wear.
Each hide carries subtle traces of its life in the wild — fine marks
and variations that we see as signatures of authenticity.
