We are driven by one mission: creating an inclusive marketplace for and in collaboration with the Indigenous community, to provide a platform for Indigenous business owners and artists to share their culture and unique stories with our customers.

We are passionate about showcasing authentic Indigenous artwork and stories so that all Australians can develop an understanding and appreciation of First Nations culture. Our mission is to cultivate appreciation and understanding of Indigenous art culture.

We do this through supporting Indigenous artists, community organisations and sharing our unique marketplace with other Indigenous retail businesses. We see Yarn as an opportunity to help Indigenous business owners and artists to build their businesses by being a part of our growth as a successful community marketplace.

We are an online marketplace offering a large variety of Indigenous designed products including luxury fashion, streetwear, accessories, outdoor apparel and homewares. Our mission is to support Indigenous artists and communities, as well as spread appreciation of First Nations art and culture with a broad Australian audience. We have created Yarn as a way of furthering this mission on a larger scale.

The name Yarn has a duel meaning. The first is in reference to yarn, the spun thread that many of our beautiful clothing and homewares are made of. The second meaning connects to the First Nations tradition of storytelling. To “have a yarn” means to “have a chat”, yarn is an informal English word used in Australia, England and the USA. It is a word often associated with the telling of long rambling stories. Yarn closely connects to the unique stories that each of our featured artworks tell.

Yarn’s mission is to provide a platform that supports Indigenous artists, communities and small businesses and start-ups so that all Australians can develop an appreciation of First Nations art and culture.

Yes, indeed! Through wearing authentic Indigenous art created by our partner artists, you show appreciation for the stories and culture. We believe through sharing this wearable art, together we generate a wider audience and louder voice for the First Nations culture. Our goal is to create positive conversations and in turn, better the understanding of this nation’s proud culture. We value that sharing of culture leads to respect and the coming together of different communities and in turn all Australians.
