products made
through cross-cultural collaborations
We are a small social enterprise based in Darwin.
Flying Fox Fabrics is all about love. Love of fabric. Love of
First Nations art. Love of fair trade. Love of collaboration.
We make and sell beautiful accessories, clothing and homewares from fabrics designed and printed in Australia.
We do this in partnership with Aboriginal artists, fair trade organisations in Cambodia that train and employ disabled artisans and ethical fabric producers.
The work of our manufacturing partners is highly skilled and showcases the fabrics with great respect.
In our online stores (here and Etsy) we stock and promote our own products plus products made by Better World Arts and lengths of hand & digitally printed fabric sourced from Australia.

During COVID-19 we have increased our efforts to support our partners in Cambodia. They are experiencing serious hardship with the abrupt loss of tourism. In 2020 Flying Fox Fabrics has been sending more fabric, increasing our orders and stepping up our own marketing to generate sales for them. We have also expanded partnerships with art centres to develop new merchandise.
