Company History In 1928 two brothers, Myer and Hyman Levy formed a partnership M & H Levy Pty Ltd and began processing imported and local fur skins, operating as fur and skin merchants and supplying the manufacturing furriers of Australia with skins.

The business began producing garments manufactured from fur skins aimed at the retail fur trade. The firm began retailing in the 1960’s by way of franchise in Curzons, McDowells and Bebarfalls, which were leading department stores in Sydney at the time. In 1965, they began to manufacture Australian souvenirs for the growing tourist trade and overseas markets. In 1969 the company opened a retail outlet, Levy Furs, trading as a fur salon in King Street, Sydney. On the redevelopment of the MLC Center the business opened on the Gallery Level Centerpoint and traded there successfully for the next ten years. As a third generation of the Levy family, Mark entered the business in 1965 joined by his brother Ross in 1969. The business has prospered and today still manufactures the finest quality leather and sheepskin garments, leather wallets, handbags and kangaroo fur souvenirs targeting the Australian tourist industry. Over the last few years, crocodile and ostrich farms have become a growing industry in Australia and the company started, and continues to manufacture these skins into various products. Mark’s roles in the company have been in the development and manufacture of new products to suit the changing souvenir industry. He has manufactured and imported from Korea and Chine and exported kangaroo leather handbags to Japan. A new range of merchandise was recently produced and marketed under the Australian Walkabout Collection logo. Today the company sells under the logo Australian Walkabout Collection, Nobelese Australia and Didgeriroo Leathergoods.
