Mainie: The Perfect Australian Gift This Christmas

Authentic Aboriginal Art. Ethical Luxury. Meaningful Giving.

As the festive season approaches, we are all searching for gifts that mean something - pieces that tell a story, celebrate connection, and stand the test of time.

This Christmas, share the spirit of giving with Mainie, where every exquisite wearable art piece embodies the beauty of Australia’s unique First Nations culture and the finest artisan traditions.

Rain Bird Dreaming Modal Scarf

Wearable Art with Meaning

Mainie’s collection of handcrafted silk scarves, Australian Merino wool wraps and men’s ties & pocket square sets are far more than fashion accessories. Each piece is an authentic artwork, created in collaboration with Aboriginal artists whose designs reflect 65,000 years of storytelling through Dreaming traditions.

Every Mainie design carries its own story - inspired by Country, family, and culture - then brought to life on the world’s most luxurious natural textiles. Whether it’s pure silk, Woolmark-certified wool or vegan-friendly Modal, each piece offers lasting beauty and style.

Every Mainie creation is accompanied by information about the provenance of the original artwork and the story of the artist, honouring the deep cultural heritage that inspires each design.

You are also supporting ethical and sustainable fashion, with every piece crafted under fair and environmentally responsible conditions - a gift that truly gives back.

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 Clarke

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.
