Yeien began out of a desire to develop an authentically Indigenous brand on the Gold Coast, Queensland. Supported by the City of Gold Coast six Indigenous artists came together to create a range of products including beautiful linen tea towels.

Yeien is committed to fair and ethical trade and is a supporter of the Indigenous Art Code.
