    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 they guide where our community contributions go.

    Our Beliefs

    Storytelling Matters

    We value storytelling as an Indigenous 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 carry it forward - because storytelling lives on.

    Our Beliefs

    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.

    Our Beliefs

    Business is a force for change

    We believe business should create opportunities and drive change. Giving back is central to who we are. 25% of profits go to Indigenous artists and communities.

    Our Beliefs

    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.
