Magpie Goose @magpiegoose.nt
Magpie Goose is a fashion social enterprise showcasing the bright, bold, fabulous textiles designed by Aboriginal artists and hand screen printed in Australia.
It is named after a bird native to the Top End of Australia. The magpie goose sits at the top of the tree eating fermented mangoes and squawking all day; it doesn't care what anyone thinks. Like it's namesake, Magpie Goose is loud, proud and unapologetic.
Magpie Goose is 100% Australian made, with clothing manufactured in Sydney.
Magpie Goose's first range showcased textiles from four remote community art centres - Palngun Wurnangat (Wadeye), Injalak Arts (Gunbalanya), Tiwi Design (Wurrumiyanga, Tiwi Islands) and Bábbarra Women’s Centre (Maningrida).
The second range, which launched on 1 March 2018 features new designs from current art centre partners, as well as designs created by four artists from Borroloola and Urapunga, NT.
New textile design collaborations are always in the works; so stay tuned for new collection releases!
Each design tells a story - of people, place and culture.
