I like to talk about things that inspire me, and right now I am feeling some major inspiration coming from Australian “MANUFACTURERS” . I find it all so interesting as I research what’s available
out there – so much talent – so many resourses .. So why is EVERYONE heading overseas ???
AUSTRALIAN MADE SWEATSHOP FREE
This week I have to share with you one my best kept secrets !!!
http://www.certton.com.au/ Occ.Apparel I met Nick and Andrew in around 2007when I decided to create a T-shirt range with my artworks on them .. I have never looked back since. What baffles me most in this fashion industry is to see so many people heading overseas to design create and make there fashion lines when we have outstanding workers, ethical companies and amazingly talented designs right here in Australia.
OCC Apparel brand Certton, make Australian made, guaranteed sweatshop free, 100% organic cotton OCC Apparel specialize in organic apparel for Men, Women, Kids, Infant and Babies.
Whilst the organic cotton is a drawcard for clients such Greenpeace and Sea Shepard and the quality fashion cuts attract clients such as the Sydney Theatre Company and the Blues Fest, there still seems to be a big myth that going green is expensive
With Certton Australian made organic t-shirts only costing $1 more than conventional cotton garments, Mr Quinn said there was a significant education task required to explain that adhering to high environmental and ethical standards is not prohibitively expensive.
Ethical Clothing Australia spokesperson, Tommy Clarke, agreed that many people still had misconceptions about prices, but said even when the ethical choice is slightly more expensive various studies show that consumers are willing to put their money where their mouths are.
