Why Shopping Australian-Made Is A More Sustainable Option

A wardrobe that has a lower environmental impact isn’t too far from home.

You shouldn’t have to sacrifice your conscious consuming habits for style; there are options to update your wardrobe in a way that is less impactful on the environment, and buying Australian-made is one of them.

For example, brands like Nobody Denim, Manning Cartell and Organic Crew are all fashion-forward, manufacture the majority of their products locally and are accredited by Ethical Clothing Australia.

Shopping locally helps to reduce fashion’s carbon footprint. The less travelling a product goes through – from fabric production to assembly to arriving at your doorstep – the less it’s contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.

By choosing locally manufactured clothes, footwear and accessories, you’re also contributing to the growth of our economy and you’re supporting local workers. Plus, manufacturing in Australia means that Australian labour standards and laws protect the employment rights and health and safety of local workers. Ethical Clothing Australia accreditation is an added bonus to ensure these labour practices are being upheld.

By supporting locally manufactured products you’re helping to shift the demand for quality over quantity. This also means, with proper care, you’ll be able to keep them around for longer and reduce your fashion waste.
