It's NAIDOC Week, with celebrations being held across the country to recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
One brilliant way to celebrate First Nations excellence is shopping from their brands - and there are so many amazing homegrown labels to get across.
We've rounded up 10 of our favourite Aboriginal owned brands that make everything from clothing printed with original art to statement accessories you'll want to wear daily. Happy shopping!
But first, watch children in the Indigenous communities of the Kimberley, Western Australia tell us what they aspire to be. Post continues below.
Maara Collective.
Maara Collective is a luxury resortwear brand that works closely with Indigenous artists and creatives.
Founded in 2019 by Yuwaalaraay woman Julie Shaw, the brand draws inspiration from Country to create contemporary pieces - think beautiful linen sets, silk shirts and swimwear.
And with every purchase, Maara Collective gives back proceeds to support training and education in remote Aboriginal communities.
Talati Linen Blazer, $485.
Lowanna Printed Silk Skirt, $365.
Haus Of Dizzy.
Love a bit of bling? Then look no further than Haus of Dizzy.
The accessories brand, started by Wiradjuri jewellery designer Kristy Dickinson, sells a range of bold and colourful statement earrings, necklaces and bracelets (among other things) to spice up any outfit.
Often featuring powerful political and social messages, each piece is designed, laser-cut, hand-painted and assembled in the company’s studio in Melbourne/Naarm.
Custom Personalised Name Heart Earrings, $49.
Grande Deadly Stacked Mirror Earrings, $69.
Consequence of Change.
Although Consequence of Change isn't Aboriginal owned, it works with local and international creatives to design fun and colourful limited edition collections.
Most recently, the Melbourne-based brand collaborated with Indigenous artist Niketa Law.
The collection features a top, dress, leggings and heated puffer coat - a first for the Australian market and most recently worn by Narelda Jacobs onThe ProjectandBig Mob Brekky.
