Proudly Aboriginal owned
Our impact
Magpie Goose is an Aboriginal-owned social enterprise that partners with Aboriginal artists in regional and remote communities to design powerful statement clothing.
There are three key impact areas we focus on:
Economic opportunities
We exist to create new economic opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people through artwork licensing, transforming artists’ original work into textiles designs. We also hire Indigenous service providers as well as photographers, designers and models to bring artwork stories to life.
Storytelling & reconciliation
Each artists’ designs tell unique stories of people, place and culture, sharing diverse and positive perspectives through bold prints. Our garments enable the broader community to learn about, connect with and celebrate Aboriginal culture and Country. The pieces can be used as conversation starters as a way to engage others, too.
Conscious fashion
All designs are hand screen printed onto biodegradable natural fibre fabrics with water based-inks, which are made into quality garments by local manufacturers in Australia. Our garments are designed for longevity, our packaging is plastic-free, and all offcuts from the production process are turned into accessories.
