Meet the new team
In March 2021 Magpie Goose transitioned to Aboriginal ownership + leadership. The team has grown (beyond the founders) and includes a wealth of knowledge and experience!
ABOUT US
Magpie Goose is an Aboriginal owned and led social enterprise that creates new economic + creative opportunities for Aboriginal people around Australia; and provides a platform for people to connect, celebrate and learn from Aboriginal people, culture and stories.
IMPACT SNAPSHOT
Measurable impact we have collectively created since the first collection in 2016:
- over $403,000 licensing payments to artists and art centres;
- designs from 52 artists featured
- $30,000 for Aboriginal business people, models, creators, photographers; through procurement, additional licensing opportunities, modelling, marketing, earring workshops etc.
The more difficult-to-measure impact is the stories from grateful customers who love connecting with Aboriginal stories, culture and art (often for the first time); and feel proud and powerful wearing and celebrating unique Australian stories. Thanks for being part of it all!
SHOP OUR POP UPS
We travel across Australia to share Magpie Goose clothing with our growing community. We love these opportunities to foster new connections between remote Aboriginal artists and people from all around Australia.
