Behind the Designs
The three designs in Saltwater Mayi were created digitally by Marlie Albert.
Mayi means 'food' in the Baard Language. Each design features an animal that is significant to Marlie and her community, and she celebrates the role it plays to their Culture. The animal is surrounded by the sea and elements of the ecosystem, such as shells, starfish and plants. And each design is available in Regular or Night print.
Goorlil (Turtle)
Goorlil is the turtle that we hunt for its meat. Usually hunted for special occasions, celebrations or sorry business.
Banang (Mudcrab)
Banang is the mud crab that we walk through creeks and thick mangroves for.
Odorr (Dugong)
Odorr is the dugong that we hunt for its meat also for special occasions, like the Goorlil. Its oil is also collected for the use on hair and skin.
Towels
Super absorbent with vibrant designs. Perfect for beach and poolside use.
