Mainie has a stunning collection of uniquely Australian fashions and gifts that will suit all tastes and every budget. 

Here are our five top reasons why Mainie is the perfect Australian gift:

1.  We are Australian. Mainie is a genuinely homegrown, Indigenous Australian owned and operated company with a clear vision to become a leading global brand.

Every Mainie features an authentic Aboriginal art design that has been ethically acquired and licensed in accordance with the Indigenous Art Code. Under the terms of our art licensing agreements, the Aboriginal artists retain the copyright to their original artwork and are paid royalties from every Mainie we make.  

Mainie is committed to supporting Aboriginal women artists from some of the most isolated communities in Central Australia to earn an independent and sustainable income from their own work, and to preserve their traditional cultural heritage for future generations.

3. Mainie’s exquisite wearable art pieces are meaningful gifts. The Aboriginal art designs featured on Mainie fashions are created by traditional Aboriginal women who still live on their ancestral homelands and maintain a strong connection to their ancient languages and culture.

Each Mainie design brings to life a time-honoured Dreamtime story that has been handed down to the artist through many generations of her ancestors over tens of thousands of years. A Mainie is much more than just a stylish fashion statement, it is an evocative and tangible celebration of the world’s oldest living culture.
