In my position, I was commissioned by the Prime Minister's Department and other government bodies to make individual items for overseas dignitaries. Many of these gifts were ordered to be made in kangaroo leather, some not. In particular, attache cases found their way to Ministers and Royalty in such places as Japan, Syria, the Netherlands and beyond.
