Mainie is a Supply Nation verified Indigenous owned business and an approved Dealer Member of the Indigenous Art Code. 

The authentic Aboriginal artwork designs featured in the Mainie fashion collection are ethically acquired from Aboriginal arts centres under licence in accordance with the Indigenous Art Code. 

Under the terms of the art licensing agreements, Mainie purchases the original artworks at the prices set by the Aboriginal artists. The artists retain the copyright to their designs and Mainie pays royalties to the artists and their families for every piece produced for sale. 

Mainie embraces social responsibility ethics and is committed to supporting Aboriginal women artists to earn an income from their own work and preserve their traditional cultural heritage for future generations.

The provenance of the textiles used to create each carefully handcrafted Mainie fashion piece is just as important as the ethical sourcing of the Aboriginal art designs.

Mainie’s premium quality silks originate from the ancient city of Suzhou in Jiangsu Province, China. Known as the Venice of the East, Suzhou has been an important silk making centre for over 4,000 years.

Mainie’s luxurious wool scarves are made with the finest Woolmark certified, Australian grown Merino wool.

Mainie sources only the best materials from reputable companies that have undergone rigorous site inspections to ensure that their production processes, workplace conditions and environmental management practices are compliant with international standards and regulations.

Mainie has recently added a range of vegan friendly scarves featuring designs by traditional Aboriginal women artists from Central Australia, and contemporary Aboriginal artists from Far North Queensland. Made from a plant-based textile called Modal, the new scarf range is made especially for socially conscious consumers seeking ecologically sustainable alternatives to animal-derived textiles such as silk and wool.
