About Kirrikin

Kirrikin is a social enterprise and luxury accessories label. We features artworks of contemporary Indigenous Australian artists, showcased on stunning handcrafted silk & cashmere scarves, ties, bow ties & pocket squares. Our exclusive designs revolve around identity through exploring Aboriginal people, traditions, and their land. Spirited products that capture the essence of Australia. "When we paint - whether it is on our bodies for ceremony or on bark or canvas for the market - we are not just painting for profit. We are painting as we have always done to demonstrate our continuing link with our country and the rights and responsibilities we have to it. Furthermore, we paint to show the rest of the world that we own this country, and that the land owns us." - Galawuy Yunupinga 1993 Kirrikin is an Aboriginal word that roughly translates as "Sunday's best clothes". We are proud to introduce our name Kirrikin to you, having been granted permission to use the term by the Wonnarua elders from The Hunter Valley region, who are the traditional owners. We personally source every artist to carefully curate our ranges, having found some amazing artists and artwork emerging, with a whole genesis in style, message and intent. These artworks provide a perfect transition to fabric; it’s also very interesting to note how many of the artists had a dream that their work would ultimately end up on fabric. Kirrikin is an Indigenous registered business; a percentage of each & every Kirrikin purchase is directly returned to the featured Indigenous Australian artist involved in the design, as well as the Aboriginal Women in Prison Program in Perth, WA. Thank you for supporting our Aboriginal communities.
