A new fashion line, which officially launched on the weekend, features the artworks of learning-disabled artists from Narrandera and Manila.
There are many products to choose from including hoodies, sweaters, letterman jackets, phone cases, laptop cases and tote bags.
International fashion label Aestheletic, based in Singapore, has teamed up with MIA arts organisation the Cad Factory and disability service provider Boundless Possibilities from the Philippines for the project.
The collaboration hopes to "build a more inclusive society ... one artwork at a time".
Narrandera based, nuero-diverse artist Layla Bacayo was excited to be part of the initiative.
"These items will make great holiday presents," she said.
"I love fashion and fashionistas. My drawings look so awesome on the clothes.
"I'm looking forward to making some extra money and sharing my artwork with people."
Sarah McEwan from the Cad Factory said an inclusive and open world was important.
