    Artwork Story

    This painting depicts the yankirri Jukurrpa (emu Dreaming) from Ngarlikurlangu, where the emu and bush turkey live at separate soakages and gather bush raisins (yakajirri), mashing them into fruit balls (kapurdu) to store. The emu, jealous of the bush turkey, destroys its stored fruit, leading to a confrontation and a fight between them. The bush turkey flies away, leaving behind the smashed fruit, and today, round red rocks at Ngarlikurlangu represent the destroyed kapurdu. This story is celebrated through dance during men’s initiation ceremonies, with traditional iconography symbolizing the emu’s footprints.

    Our Beliefs

    • Artist First. Always.

      We value our artists in everything we do. We work closely together to bring their artworks to life.

      We pay artist royalties on the full retail price - even during sales - because we'd never devalue their work. And our artists guide where our community contributions go.

    • Business is a force for change

      We believe business should create opportunities and drive change.

      Giving back is central to who we are. That's why we proudly contribute 25% of profits to First Nations artists and communities.

    • Storytelling Matters

      We value storytelling as a tradition and artform. As custodians, we protect these stories through our work with artists and the way their art is translated.

      Every piece honours its story, and when you wear it, you help ensure the story lives on.

    • Culture Is Everything

      Culture shapes how we see, speak, move, and create. Every design continues a deeper story. Through fashion, we honour culture and celebrate the people and stories behind it.

    • Art Should Feel Good

      The fabric, design, ethos and the impact should all align. We want people to look good, feel good and do good. Creativity is about expression, connection, inclusivity and a sense of belonging.
