Hello
We are a family business from the La Perouse Aboriginal community. we have family connections to Dharawal, Ngarigo, Dunghutti, and Gamilaraay Country. we have been lucky to grow up with a strong sense of culture and community. We have been weaving since I was young and would often be taught about plants and their uses.
