What does the Kukuwam represent?

The Kukuwam is the Hibiscus flower. It is worn by Torres Strait Islanders to symbolise beauty. Traditionally, it is worn above the ear to signify marital status depending on which side it is worn. Right being single, left being married.

We are a Torres Strait Islander owned & operated fashion label that sells authentic high quality products embracing our roots and natural beauty, flagshipped by the Kukuwam to continue our long-lasting traditions – merging the old & new.
