In line with Deadly Ponies’ zero-waste to landfill initiative, Mr Kororā is crafted from past-season leather offcuts, giving premium materials a second life.

As a Certified B Corporation, Deadly Ponies upholds the highest standards of social, environmental, accountability, and transparency. This commitment extends to every material used - working exclusively with hides that are by-products of the meat industry or natural casualties, all fully traceable and Leather Working Group Gold (or equivalent) certified.

By aligning with Forest & Bird’s mission to restore and preserve Aotearoa New Zealand’s native biodiversity, Deadly Ponies extends their impact beyond the atelier, supporting meaningful, long-term conservation initiatives.

With 90% of New Zealand’s seabird species and 82% of shorebird  species threatened or at risk of extinction, this partnership invites  us all to play a part in safeguarding Aotearoa’s native species for generations to come.

Forest & Bird is New Zealand’s leading independent conservation organisation and specialises in the protection of New Zealand's unique wildlife and natural ecosystems.

Customers will also have the opportunity to make a donation at checkout throughout December, with all funds raised supporting Forest & Bird’s vital work across Aotearoa.

Mr Kororā is available exclusively at deadlyponies.com and in Deadly Ponies stores.
