Dream States

Dream States make dreamy pastel loungewear made from long-lasting, high quality pieces that are kind to the environment. They use plant-based fabrics only and hand-dye their own fabric using low-impact methods and produce everything locally.

50% of Dream States pieces are made in house at their studio in Brunswick, and the rest is made by an ECA accredited seamstress who is based locally. 

Living Earth Aromatherapy

Living Earth Aromatherapy makes high-quality blends which are enjoyable to use and provide all-natural therapeutic benefits. Born out of a desire to share the incredible therapeutic benefits of all-natural, pure essential oils, Helen created LVA to unite both of her passion for natural healing and the environment.

Living Earth Aromatherapy's products are therapeutic, effective, all natural, and hand blended in small batches.

Vegan Wares

Vegan Wares sells alternative-to-leather shoes and accessories that are not only free of animal products but also sustainable. 

The path to sustainability that Vegan Wares advocate involves the manufacture of consumer goods that have a very long intended lifespan, which minimizes the use of resources - meaning durable vegan materials, rigorous construction, a capacity for repair by local cobblers, and timeless styling.

One-Off Creations

One-Off creations started with only ottomans as its main products, and over time expanded to chairs and foot stools.

All of the items for sale are upcycled. Some had been fully restored and upcycled and some new pieces have upcycled elements such as timber boards and legs,  foams and brand new or old fabrics. One-Off Creations is all about giving new life, a new beginning to an old piece of furniture.

Tea is Life

Tea is Life is an online store focusing on selling sustainable tea accessories and loose leaf teas. Tea is Life is also the home of the bōba cup, a reusable bubble tea cup which launched on Kickstarter in August 2019.

The Reimaginarium

The Reimaginarium takes old things and turn them into good things.  In their shop, you can find beautiful reclaimed, reused and repurposed goods from across Australia, ranging from jewellery to toys, furniture to bluetooth speakers. Everything in store is as good as or better than new, without the environmental impact.

Our Joey

Our Joey offers a selection of beautiful, long-wearing children’s products, crafted from GOTS-certified organic cotton.

Our Joey's aim is to make organics more accessible and affordable by offering Joey Bundles. The products are made to last and the majority of items are unisex, so there isn't a need to buy another full suite of clothing and nursery items if you later have a bub of a different gender.

Intentionally Sustainable

Intentionally Sustainable is all about being proactive, living with intention starting with refusing single use items!

Based in the lovely Mount Maunganui, New Zealand, the shop offers a range of high quality, sustainable and reusable products.  Each item has been specifically selected to target the in-home Single Use Items which are the biggest contributors to the plastic pollution crisis.

The Worm Shed

The Worm Shed is a worm farm based in WA providing worms, worm farms, castings & more, helping you to be on your way to environmentally friendly recycling and a grow a healthy garden in no time! 

The Worm Shed is dedicated to ensuring you have success recycling your organic waste with worms, and to contribute to a more sustainable future. They also offer school incursions, council workshops, and displays at expos and field days. 

ReturnR

ReturnR is an environmental initiative that aims to replace single use takeaway packaging by providing reusable, returnable food and drink containers, managed and shared through the existing cafe network, minimising waste and resources.

Returning is like recycling but 1000 times better. Through shared use, the use of resources are minimized and less waste is produced. Consumers may simply request food in a ReturnR container. Pay deposit with cost of meal. Rinse then return to any cafe in the network to refund deposit. Repeat.

At the end of life, ReturnR takes back the packaging to be properly recycled.
