Celebrate one of Canberra’s most legendary landmarks with our Big Swoop Magpie Socks. Inspired by the famous magpie sculpture outside Garema Place, this bold design captures the attitude, humour and local pride that Canberrans know all too well.
These socks are more than just a fun design — they’re a wearable tribute to a true Canberra icon.
Created in collaboration with local Canberra artist Yanni Pounartzis, the artwork brings the magpie to life in a playful, graphic style that instantly sparks recognition and conversation. If you’ve ever walked past Big Swoop (or been warned about magpies in spring), you’ll appreciate the inside joke.
Crafted for comfort and durability, these premium socks feature a classic black base with striking yellow heel and toe accents, making them perfect for everyday wear, gifts, or showing off your Canberra pride.
Whether you’re a local, a visitor, or shopping for someone who loves Canberra, these socks are a unique keepsake that blends art, humour and local culture.
