In exploring the uniquely sustainable craft of designing with kangaroo pelts and their beautiful leather hides, Didier sought to express a new Australian design language.
Kangaroo skin is extremely unique with ancient characteristics; relatively thin but very durable. The leather was dyed black and all the inherent life markings like scratches, battle wounds and bites were left exposed to tell their stories.
Ultimately the collection became a nod to untamed and under-utilised beauty; reimagined through craftsmanship and a poetic lens.
