Gouldian finch
The bright splash of a Gouldian finch against the tropical savanna woodland is a rare treat. These tiny finches are increasingly difficult to spot owing to dramatic population decline over the last few decades. Their greatest threats come from widespread hot-burning wildfires and introduced species that consume either the available food supply or the vulnerable finch itself. Happily, this trend does seem to be slowing, or even reversing in recent years, with catching a sign of a finch around Darwin becoming more regular – though not less exciting.
They can be found in pockets across the far north of Western Australia and the Northern Territory in places where they can still access seed and nest safely in tree hollows at key times of year.
The top of the purse frame measures 10cm across. The second image in the carousel shows the fabric used for the purse lining.

Handmade with love
Every fabric used in our bags and purses is designed by Boo at Susurrus Studio in Darwin River, located an hour south of Darwin in the hot tropics of Australia. Boo draws much of her inspiration from her bush environment, especially the birds and flora of the Top End and across Australia.
The fabrics are printed with care in Sydney. When they arrive, Boo steps away from the design table and leans into the sewing machine to hand craft each item.
