Aboriginal Flag (fully sewn) 2740mm x 1370mm

An Emblem of Identity. A Flag of Integrity. Handcrafted in Australia.

This fully sewn Aboriginal Flag, measuring 2740mm x 1370mm, is a commanding presence—crafted not simply to fly, but to stand as a powerful symbol of cultural identity, respect, and unity. Designed for public spaces, civic buildings, schools, community centres, and any place where meaning matters as much as visibility, this flag embodies both strength and symbolism.

Each flag is professionally handmade in Australia, where the three colours—black, red, and yellow—are sewn together using UV-resistant, woven polyester panels. This not only ensures durability but also reflects the honour and care that this powerful flag deserves.

More Than a Flag – A National Symbol of Pride

The Aboriginal Flag was designed in 1971 by artist and activist Harold Thomas, a Luritja man of Central Australia. Its elements are rich with meaning:

• Black – The Aboriginal people of Australia

• Red – The red ochre earth and Aboriginal peoples' deep spiritual connection to land

• Yellow – The life-giving sun, the constant above all people

In 1995, the flag was formally recognised as a national flag of Australia, and in 2022, usage rights were returned to the public by agreement with the Commonwealth. It is now flown proudly alongside the Australian National Flag and the Torres Strait Islander Flag at public institutions, schools, and events around the country.
