Our shipping boxes are compostable.

We are using bio-degradable and compostable shipping boxes made in Bayswater Melbourne. Our simple brown kraft boxes are stylish yet eco-friendly remaining true to the brand.

No plastic is used in our packaging

Our stock is shipped to customers in a bio-degradable boxes wrapped in tissue. We are not using any plastic in our packaging.

100% Organic cotton (GOTS ) certified on the majority of our garments

The majority of our cotton is 100% organic (Global Organic Textile Standard). Organic cotton is made without toxic and polluting fertilisers and pesticides. Regular cotton farming uses huge amounts of pesticides and insecticides globally- estimated at 10% of the worlds usage. Our cotton jersey/terry is also knitted in Australia supporting our Australian made proposition and commitment.

Leather is a bi-product of the meat industry

Our shoe leather is kangaroo skin, a bi-product of the meat industry which would otherwise end up as landfill.

Local Manufacturing

We manufacture our products in Australia, resulting in a shorter supply chain and lower carbon footprint. This also ensures that our manufacturing team is covered by Australian labour laws. We have taken great care to select quality fabrics (where possible knitted in Australian mills), and our high grade manufacturing and craftsmanship is evident in the detail of the product. The fitout of our Armadale store used products all sourced responsibly in Australia.

Our swing tag clip seals are made of corn flour.
