Ethically sourced from New Zealand, our possum skins are a premium natural product that combines exceptional quality with environmental responsibility. The Australian brushtail possum is an introduced pest species in New Zealand, where it has a significant impact on native forests, wildlife and biodiversity. Harvesting possums for their fur and skins supports ongoing conservation efforts while making use of a valuable natural resource that might otherwise be wasted.
We currently offer three beautiful natural colour variations:
-
Grey – A classic silver-grey coat with soft, dense fur.
-
Dark Brown (Red) – Rich chocolate and reddish-brown tones with striking natural variation.
-
Rusty – Predominantly grey with a distinctive rusty-orange underbelly and edging, making each skin truly unique.
Every possum skin is one of a kind. As with any natural product, each skin will vary in colour, size, markings, shape and overall appearance, giving it its own unique character and ensuring no two are exactly alike.
Soft, durable and naturally insulating, our possum skins are suitable for a wide range of uses, including art, craft, education, cultural practice, display, clothing and other creative projects.
A Note on Cultural Respect: Possum skin holds deep cultural significance for many Aboriginal communities across Australia and has been used for countless generations in the making of cloaks, carrying items and other culturally significant objects. We encourage anyone wishing to create or reproduce culturally significant items to take the time to learn about the traditions of the Country they are on and, where appropriate, seek guidance from their local Aboriginal Community or Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation. Respecting local cultural knowledge and protocols helps ensure these important traditions continue to be honoured.
