Darug artist Mandy Draper’s rich artwork was commissioned especially to celebrate the 50th anniversary of NAIDOC Week. It represents the journey from our ancestors to the next generation, symbolising resilience, cultural continuity, and the strength of community.
Our NAIDOC Week collection features our talented collaborating artists' reflection on and response to this year's theme ‘The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy’.
Made from light, breezy chiffon, these shawls drape beautifully, creating a soft and graceful silhouette without adding weight or bulk. The fabric catches the light as you move, enhancing the vibrant colours of the artwork and making it the perfect statement piece for any occasion.
Designed in a generous one-size fit, our shawls feature discreet armholes that ensure a secure and flattering drape, allowing you to move freely while maintaining a polished look. Whether layered over casual wear or paired with an evening ensemble, this shawl offers both versatility and charm, making it a staple for any wardrobe.
