Strength Of Our Elders

Created by First Nations artist Emma Hollingsworth (Mulganai), a Kaanju, Kuku Ya’u and Girrimay woman.

"This artwork represents the strength, resilience and courage of my Elders. Those who withstood great adversity...so that I may be where I am today. My Elders inspired and led the way, taught me about my culture and showed me that culture could coexist with this shiny, ever-changing world. This painting is for my Elders, who comforted me and taught me so much about inner strength and how to stand tall in the face of adversity."

Best design ever

This shirt has been my favourite for many years and finally it was rereleased and I bought another one ( Should have got two). This shirt has started more conversations than any of my 20 other indigenous themed shirts. Great product and equal quality in production. Reminds people that the indigenous First Nations peoples are the heart of this great nation and that they wear their heart on their sleeves and with hand on their heart they will continue to fight for it and embrace all the good that has come despite the sadness brutality and sorrows. A chest pocket would make it the “perfect” shirt and a pen slot on the sleeve shoulder as well please.

Excellent all round

We were delighted with the quick turnaround of our order and the great follow up from Life Apparel Co regarding an additional (backorder) of our shirts. Our team can't wait to wear the great shirts as our sailing team shirt for the 2023/2024 sailing season. We love the product and quality of the shirts.

I bought this for my transgender child and she loved it. She started a new Aboriginal traineeship and wore it very proudly.

Best Indigenous Work Uniforms

As a wildlife education business, we have been looking for some indigenous designed uniforms for a while and i came across life apparel. We found our perfect uniform top and the staff are happy. All we did was add our logo. The polo shirts are of the best quality. Great stitching and you can tell they will last a while.
