Ghost Net Handbag by Natalie YantarrngaA ghost net is a discarded or lost plastic fishing net that continues to drift at sea, "fishing" on its own and causing significant environmental harm, including the loss of marine life.

A ghost net is a discarded or lost plastic fishing net that continues to drift at sea, "fishing" on its own and causing significant environmental harm, including the loss of marine life. These nets frequently wash up on beaches in Northern Australian communities, where they contribute to environmental degradation. The term "ghost net" arises from the net's "ghostly" ability to fish independently.

The Anindilyakwa artists on Groote Eylandt have turned this environmental challenge into an opportunity for artistic expression. They repurpose ghost nets into contemporary woven artworks, such as baskets and sculptures, combining them with bush-dyed fabrics and other textiles. These "new ways" artworks reflect a creative evolution of traditional practices.

As artist Annabell Amagula explains, "It started from the old ways, making baskets with Pandanus. We do the new ways now with some ghost net and fabrics. Those nets kill our bush tucker, our turtles and fish and crab. The rangers go around and pick up the net and give it to us. Our weaving carries the story."

These works not only embody the blend of traditional and contemporary techniques but also serve as a powerful narrative of environmental awareness and cultural resilience.

Light, comfy, and a brand you can trust with your feet
Size: 3.5 Big Kid, Color: Black/White
My son tears through shoes and somehow they're perpetually untied, no matter what we do. These are great as they don't need to be tied but look laced up, are very light and cushiony, and just look great so they go with everything. Saucony is also a great trusted brand that I've run a few marathons in myself, so I figured, let's try a pair and see how long they last. It's only been a few days but I'm getting good reviews from my son and they're his new go to pair.

Good fit. Good support. Good for my new runner!
The quality definitely meets our expectations. The price point is pretty good; I can't swallow adult-sized prices for kid-sized shoes. Delivery was early...which my son really appreciated!

Falling apart
Size: 5 Big Kid, Color: Teal/Periwinkle, Size: 5 Big Kid, Color: Teal/Periwinkle
I bought these two weeks ago for my daughter to train and use for a mini triathalon she is doing and the sole tread are already coming apart in several areas. Including the toe. Not worth the money
