The Nitmiluk Range is a collaboration between the Banatjarl Strongbala Wimun Grup and Djilpin Arts. The range features scarves and sarongs in designs by Djilpin’s artists at Beswick, offered exclusively through the Nitmiluk Gift Shop. This collaboration promotes local Aboriginal enterprises on Jawoyn Country, supporting training, development and strengthens the connections between our communities in the Katherine Region. A percentage of your purchase is paid direct to the Artist.

 

The Nitmiluk Range Sarong features digitally printed designs by Djilpin artists from Beswick Community. Printed on Modal, a super soft biofabric sourced from beech trees (also known as Viscose), the fabric features a diamond weave for durability on a generous wrap of 1 x 2 metres.
