Australian Made Fashion Brands Directory - Womenswear

It's not hard to see that the Australian economy is doing it tough and in recent months I've noticed a shift in clients preferences when shopping for their forever wardrobes. We're moving more towards Australian made fashion brands and brands who try to keep as much production work as possible on our shores.

Whether it's where our clothes are sewn or where our fabrics were sourced, the desire to focus on quality, Australian fashion is growing! So this week, I wanted to put together a list of brands who manufacture in Australia.

These brands either completely manufacture here or create a large portion of their products here in Australia, some of these brands have been a part of the Australian fashion landscape for a long time and others are new to the table, run by independent designers. I plan to grow this list over time so please leave a comment or get in touch to tell about a brand that you know manufactures in Australia and together we can create a lovely big shoppable list for everyone to enjoy!

How To Support Brands Trying To Manufacture In Australia

It's expensive and time-consuming to be an Australian made fashion brand when off-shore alternatives are more profitable and faster on product turn around. When you support a brand who manufactures in Australia and are accredited with an Ethical Clothing Accreditation, you're supporting brands who provide a fair wage to their staff and are helping to stimulate the Australian economy. While it's expensive to choose ethical and sustainable brands, it encourages us to shop slower and think about our purchases more.

To support more Australian made businesses, give them feedback on their brand and purchase from them when you can. The more feedback brands hear about their products, the more likely they will make positive changes that will keep you coming back to them.
