As a small conscious business, it’s very hard to compete during Black Friday season. In 2024, we made a lot of sales but at a loss. If we don’t participate, sales plummet and artists don’t get paid. If we participate, we lose money because we don’t have high margins like other wasteful brands.
So in 2025 we will only sell our current stock (which fits in 3 boxes) of items we made for the markets. This will help attract a few new customers and will ensure the brand is still visible during this season. All our other items will be made to order as per usual with maybe some very small discounts that won’t affect our business too much. Stay posted

In love with this new print by Philinka Dolby from
Blue Sea reflects the colours and shapes of salt water in constant motion. The print flows with the ocean’s rhythm, shifting tones, fluid lines, and patterns that echo the tide’s eternal rise and fall. It carries the essence of the sea: vibrant, restless, and alive.

This print is called Wali, meaning Green Sea Turtle, painted by Kristy Burgundy from Mowanjum. “I love painting this turtle because it makes me think of my mum’s country on the coast where they always hunted and ate”

We’re now Palet Theory 🤍 This evolution comes from listening to community feedback and making sure we uphold the values we stand for: respect, storytelling, and thoughtful design.
We began as Milpali. But after conversations with community members, we learned that continuing with that name wouldn’t reflect the cultural care we aim to practice. So we listened, and we evolved.
The heart of our work stays the same. Our products and quality stay the same.
Welcome to Palet Theory.
