How was it made?
Purchasing items made from licensed fabric designs supports Aboriginal artists (who get a royalty) and their art centres.
Note: The placement of the fabric design is unique and special on every bag

The artist: Janet Forbes
The design:
Janet has painted a woman or kunga dancing at her campsite. The kunga has customary women’s markings painted on her breasts for performing ceremonial dances. The campsite is identified by the fireplace (star in the middle) and wiltja – a traditional shade shelter made of branches. She is accompanied by her beloved dogs. Janet is an accomplished artist with a fine sense of colour and composition. Her artworks are often intricately layered. She is also a weaver.
