Recycled Midi Zip Pocket - John Gould

$14.99

The Birds of Australia Zip Purse: Exhibition Exclusive

Celebrate The Birds of Australia exhibition with this exclusive zip purse, featuring a detailed illustration of Australian birdlife by 19th-century ornithologists John and Elizabeth Gould. Printed on eco-conscious Green Circle fibre fabrics, this practical and stylish accessory honours the Goulds’ legacy and their collaboration with First Nations guides during their journey across colonial New South Wales.

The artwork is drawn from the Goulds’ landmark publication, which documented over 600 bird species—many described for the first time—and laid the foundation for modern ornithology in Australia. This purse is a thoughtful keepsake from the exhibition, which reimagines their work through STORYBOX, an interactive storytelling experience that highlights the enduring importance of Indigenous knowledge in understanding our native birds.

Ideal as a gift or personal memento, this purse combines sustainability, history, and art in one compact design.

Size: 20x28cm

Fabric: Green Circle fibre fabric, acrylic zip
