Back in 1969 with the assistance of Sister Eucharia, we Tiwi women created our own clothing label Bima Wear - some of us still work here since we started fifty years ago.

Tiwi women proudly own and operate Bima Wear. We design, print and manufacture everyday, occasion and ceremonial wear that celebrates our distinct language and culture.

Bima Wear fabrics feature traditional symbols, structures, family and environmental representations that are central to Tiwi culture.
