Three of Carey’s limited-edition artworks will also be available for sale, with all proceeds donated to support Seed, Australia’s first Indigenous youth climate network. The remaining two artworks will travel to Ruinart to take up residence alongside the many artistic partnerships undertaken by the Maison. Shop the range here.
