Fashion with Meaning

Each Mainie Modal Scarf features an authentic Aboriginal artwork design, ethically licensed from an Aboriginal artist. Artists retain copyright in their original artworks and receive royalties from the licensed use of their designs.

This makes every scarf more than a beautiful accessory. It is a wearable expression of Aboriginal culture, creativity and storytelling, created through respectful collaboration.

Why Modal?

Modal is a soft, breathable, plant-based fibre known for its smooth feel, elegant drape and easy wearability. It is light enough for warm climates, comfortable for travel and stylish enough to wear from day to evening.

For the eco-conscious fashion lover, Modal offers a beautiful alternative to synthetic accessories - a more natural choice for a wardrobe built around quality, versatility and thoughtful design.

Customer Reviews

Mainie is a brand I proudly wear for so many reasons. I love that each scarf has a story and that I know with each piece funds go back to the woman that designed it. I adore the vibrancy of the colours and the high quality, I have had my scarves for many years now and they are so versatile from wearing them to do presentations or going out for lunch. I stand for empowering women and standing proud in your individuality and Mainie embodies this in every way.

Lesley Buckman

Our Mainie scarves have become an essential wardrobe component both at home and when travelling. They serve to elevate any outfit whilst also celebrating Australian First Nations culture with dignity and sophistication. The silk product is beautiful to wear and the merino wool is unbelievable soft and so warm. Lightweight, easy to pack and always commented on.

Tanya, Emily and Elizabeth

I love the Mainie Scarves, for myself and as the perfect gift. They are investment pieces that will be part of your wardrobe for life. I love travel and one or two scarves are always included in my luggage. They are perfect on the plane and for dressing up outfits. I take a Merino scarf for cooler climates and silk ones everywhere else. However, the very best part is the ethical basis of the brand. I know I support a woman artist from a First Nations community when I purchase something from Mainie. They look good and do good at the same time.

We recognise the traditional custodians of the land on which we live and work, and we pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

We acknowledge the sorrow of the Stolen Generations and the impacts of colonisation on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
