Gnarla Fashions

Gnarla, named in honor of the traditional message bird of the Gooreng Gooreng people, embodies meticulous craftsmanship and draws inspiration from the vibrant tapestry of country and culture. These artisanal creations are handcrafted from organic materials, featuring shapes and designs rooted in the rich heritage of the Gooreng Gooreng people. Each piece is a true masterpiece of artistry. Moreover, beyond their striking designs, Gnarla actively nurtures artistic expression within its community by providing in-store art classes and workshops. At the core of Gnarla Fashion lies the unwavering dedication of its founder, Julie Appo. As an Indigenous woman with roots in the Gooreng Gooreng community of the Bundaberg region, Julie's designs serve as a heartfelt homage to the coastal and inland heritage of her ancestors.
