Luxury New Zealand Possum Skins. Sustainably Sourced, Commercially Tanned.
Bringing NZ’s most luxurious natural fibre to you - while restoring native bush and birdlife.
“We don't need an alarm clock in the hut. Native birds wake us up before daylight every morning — on land that used to be silent."
— ELLIOT SYME, FOUNDERWHAT WE DO
We specialise in premium, commercially tanned possum skins.
Inland Road is a family-run New Zealand business supplying high-grade brushtail possum skins in silver-grey and dark-brown. Every skin is professionally tanned and personally graded for consistent quality - whether you're purchasing a handful or hundreds.
OUR STORY
What started with a 14-year-old boy making his first possum-fur cushion has grown into a thriving family business sourcing over 5,000 possums each year.
Elliot's curiosity for natural fibres — paired with his dad's lifetime in the wool industry — sparked something special. Friends loved the first cushion, word spread, and orders grew naturally.
Today, Inland Road exists to deliver luxury possum fur while actively restoring the native bush where we work.
A family business born from a love of the land.

OUR MISSION
Brushtail possums were introduced from Australia in 1837 and have devastated native ecosystems.
With no natural predators, the population exploded to nearly 70 million. Our hands-on possum control has transformed the land we work on the bush is regenerating, seedlings survive, and the morning bird song has returned.
