Aboriginal Flag (fully sewn) 1370 x 685mm

Crafted with Integrity – A Mid-Size Statement of Cultural Respect and National Recognition

This 1370 x 685mm Aboriginal Flag is a fully sewn, Australian-made symbol of cultural pride, crafted with care and purpose. As one of the most popular sizes for schools, government departments, and community buildings, this mid-sized flag is designed to strike a perfect balance between visibility, dignity, and practicality.

Unlike printed alternatives, this flag is constructed from three separate colour panels—black, red, and yellow—meticulously sewn together by skilled Australian flagmakers. Every edge is reinforced with industrial-grade stitching, making this flag as strong and resilient as the culture it represents.

A National Flag of Deep Meaning

The Aboriginal Flag, designed in 1971 by Luritja artist Harold Thomas, is one of the most powerful and enduring symbols in Australian history. It stands as a reminder of the oldest continuous culture on Earth and the journey toward reconciliation and truth-telling.

Officially recognised as a national flag in 1995 and made freely available to the public in 2022, the flag has become a fixture on public buildings, in classrooms, and at commemorative events across Australia.

Each colour holds vital meaning:

• Black – The Aboriginal people of Australia

• Red – The red earth, ochre, and spiritual connection to the land

• Yellow – The sun, the constant giver of life

To fly this flag is not only a display of solidarity—it is an act of recognition, respect, and responsibility.

Why Choose a Fully Sewn Flag?

A fully sewn flag is more than a product—it's a piece of traditional craftsmanship that honours the cultural significance of the flag it represents. The stitching of separate coloured panels mirrors the care and reverence that should be shown when handling and flying a symbol of this importance.

Sewn flags offer:

• Greater durability

• Superior appearance and texture

• Long-term outdoor performance

• Symbolic weight and ceremonial impact

This is the style of flag used by councils, government buildings, and cultural institutions across Australia for formal display.
