It's so LOVELY to come across an enterprise like Willie Weston. Not only are co-founders Jessica Booth and Laetitia Prunetti facilitating the creation of GORGEOUS environmentally conscious design products, but the artists behind Willie Weston's collections are all Indigenous Australians. It's incredibly exciting to see the work of Indigenous artists used in this space!
“Willie Weston’s ambition is to celebrate the diverse artistic output of Indigenous artists, to challenge preconceptions about Indigenous design, and to support its integration into our built environments.”

SUSTAINABILITY
"All Willie Weston fabrics and wallpapers are printed to order, eliminating wastage. We print with water-based inks, meaning there is no excess ink to be disposed of or any water used during production. No harmful chemicals are used in the creation of our products.
Our products are shipped using a certified carbon neutral courier company and in recycled plastic wrap. We continually work to minimise our impact through recycling and elimination of single-use materials wherever possible."

INDIGENOUS ART CODE
"Willie Weston is a member of the Indigenous Art Code, an organisation that works to preserve and promote ethical trade in Indigenous art. Our membership signifies our commitment to building strong, ethical and sustainable Indigenous art commerce and to ending exploitation, which takes advantage of artists and negatively impacts communities."
