Meet Barrett Alley, your new favorite kangaroo leatherworks

In addition to being adorable, kangaroos produce some of the finest leather available. Taking advantage of this incredibly soft, strong, durable, and lightweight hide — perfected by evolution — Barrett Alley makes some gorgeous leather goods by hand in Texas, using the Australian export as well as other leathers. Before you jump to any judgements about using 'roo, understand that the Australian government actually needs to reduce the population to protect the habitats of other species. So you're basically being wasteful by not having a kangaroo wallet. And everyone knows kangaroo leather is great for pouches.

Disciple Wallet - $195
Made from a single piece of 'roo leather by Texas hands, this little wallet holds about eight cards and all the cash you can fit into it. 

Revelation Wallet - $225
These 'roo wallets hold up to ten cards in two symmetrical pockets. The dye in the leather will fade over time, uniquely darkening each wallet.

Devilish Wallet - $495
If you're more into the standard wallet, the Devilish is the perfect choice to keep your cash as safe as a joey.

Judas Pouch - $225
Sewn together from hunter-harvested deerskin, this double-sueded wallet keeps your essentials secure with a bone button and strap.

Dom Sunglasses Case - $150
Fine shades warrant a fine case, and this beautifully tanned piece of Russet leather is perfect for a pair of Vuarnets.

Berber Belt - $295
This vegetable-tanned cowhide belt is decorated with traditional tattoos of the Berber people, symbols that supposedly have the power to ward off illness and promote fertility. The buckle is sand-cast and remains unfinished for a unique look.
