Sustainability

We believe that small changes can make big impact. For us this means we use donated and industry-excess fabric (deadstock) across our brand and school, and we encourage people to reuse and rewear clothing through our mending and repair service and public workshops.

sustainability matters

  • Fairer fabric

    We work with trusted deadstock suppliers to source the fabrics for our brand and gratefully accept donations of fabric on the roll. For our 'Kind Merch' product range we prioritise locally-milled and imported organic cotton.

  • Made local

    We make all garments for our in-house label at our Collingwood headquarters, keeping our carbon footprint small while championing the local industry through our network of patternmakers, printers and trim suppliers.

  • Designed to last

    We don’t believe in fast fashion. Our pieces are carefully designed and made so that you may love them for many years ahead. Plus, we run a repair service to help extend the life of your favourite garments.
