Item Design
Each bag charm is made using a mix of colourful candy-style alphabet beads. Letter colours are selected at random during the making process, meaning every piece is one of a kind. While the word "Deadly" will always remain the same, the colour combination of the letters may vary from the product photos.

Within Aboriginal English, deadly is a positive expression meaning awesome, excellent or amazing. This piece celebrates the strength, resilience and pride of Aboriginal culture while sharing one of our most recognised and loved expressions.
