The licensing model

How Artists Are Paid On Every Order You Place

Licensed and credited

Every design is licensed from a named Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander artist and credited on the product, with their story in their own words.

Royalties on every channel

Retail and wholesale sales both pay royalties. Your trade orders support artists exactly as retail sales do.

Artist approval, always

Artists approve every design before production, including the destination names we print for stockists.

Funded by sales

The impact grows with orders, not donations. More than $2.1M has been paid to artists in royalties and licensing since 2020.
