Kangaroo Thonging Black – Premium Strength, Flexibility & Finish

Made in New Zealand, this kangaroo leather thonging is extremely strong and durable. Ideal for a variety of uses.

Kangaroo leather is world-renowned for its exceptional strength, light weight, and flexibility — and our Black Kangaroo Thonging is no exception. Crafted from genuine kangaroo hide, this thonging is tanned, cut, and finished to perfection, making it one of the most durable and versatile leathers available for fine leatherwork.

It’s ideal for braiding, lacing, whip making, repairs, and detailed decorative work where both durability and an elegant finish are key. The rich black colour is achieved through aniline dyeing that penetrates deep into the leather fibres, giving a consistent, long-lasting colour that won’t easily fade or crack over time.

Each strip is evenly cut and polished, maintaining flexibility and strength across its entire length — making your projects not only look premium but also stand the test of time.

Description

Our Kangaroo Thonging Black offers unmatched tensile strength, up to ten times stronger than cowhide of the same thickness. This means you can create strong, slim, and lightweight designs that don’t compromise on style.

The leather has a smooth grain texture, a slightly glossy surface, and a supple hand feel that’s easy to work with. Whether you’re making handcrafted whips, braided belts, jewellery, or restoring saddlery, this thonging gives you the professional quality finish you need.
