Mid-Size Format | Handcrafted with Individually Sewn Panels | Made in Australia | Built for Ceremony, Permanence & Respect
Fly the Western Australian flag with craftsmanship and honour. This 1370mm x 685mm fully sewn flag is a mid-size format ideal for schools, civic centres, government offices, and commemorative spaces. Rather than printed, each element of the flag—including the Blue Ensign, the golden disc, and the distinctive black swan—is cut from separate panels of colourfast fabric and sewn together by hand.
This traditional method of construction results in a textured, dignified finish that conveys a deep respect for both flag protocol and the rich symbolism behind Western Australia’s state identity.
The Symbolism Behind the Flag
Adopted officially in 1953, the Western Australia State Flag draws from both colonial heritage and natural history:
-
The British Blue Ensign represents the state’s historical ties to the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth
-
The black swan, a native bird once thought mythical by early Europeans, symbolises Western Australia’s unique fauna, independence, and strength
-
The swan faces the hoist, in keeping with traditional vexillological protocol
A sewn flag gives this imagery weight—literally and figuratively—making it a preferred choice for formal and high-respect settings.
