(AU, 65127605832) Browse eventsStreet Swags provide water-proof, basic shelter to people experiencing homelessness. A bag with room for extra belongings, the Street Swag is made of high-quality Australian canvas that is mildew resistant and breathable. The Street Swag also has a high-density flame resistant foam mattress. Designed for those living on the streets, its discreet appearance and camouflage colours, offer warmth, comfort and safety to those who need to be invisible.
