Mainie Silk Scarves

Mainie is a growing collection of scarves, wraps, tops and ties that are beautifully handcrafted in 100% pure silk. Each exquisite piece has been lovingly designed to feature authentic Aboriginal artworks and Dreamtime stories reproduced in sundrenched colours painted by traditional women artists from the Central Desert and in bright luminous hues of the reef and rainforest by artists from Tropical North Queensland

The company is run by Charmaine Saunders or ‘Mainie’, a proud descendant of the Gunggari Aboriginal people from the Maranoa River region of south western Queensland with family ties to the Woorabinda and Cherbourg Aboriginal communities.

Charmaine’s love of Aboriginal fine arts is palpable, developed over many years of working in remote Aboriginal communities in Queensland and the Northern Territory.
