MAATSUYKER ISLAND
43° 39’ 00” S, 146° 12’ 16” E
Jutting crudely out of the windswept southern ocean at 43° 39’ 00” S, 146° 12’ 16” E lies a desolate landscape that forges an Existence against the elements — This is nature at its harshest and most unrelenting. Discovered by dutch explorers in 1642, MAATSUYKER is the coldest, southern most tip of Australia. It was on this bleak landscape that a lighthouse was Built in 1899 — A beacon which protected the solitary keeper from gale force winds and driving rain, with only his clothes as armour. MAATSUYKER garments are forged and inspired by MAATSUYKER ISLAND: hardy, long lasting and utilitarian — elevated, all-natural designer workwear, outerwear, knitwear, base layers and accessories.
