Country Road
Country Road has been a huge driver of sustainability, placing a strong emphasis on supporting ethical trade across all aspects of their production and supply chains. From being able to scientifically verify their clothing fibres to Australian farms, to supporting the restoration of Australian farmlands with Landcare Australia – it has been amazing to see the brand’s extensive efforts. In addition, the company has decided to trial making garments in Australia again, starting with their iconic 90s Reissue Sweat. The success of the Reissue Sweat initiative has strengthened Country Road’s ambitions for supporting local production and the company has since gone on to add the Australian Made T-Shirt to its on-shore offering.
