The Common Good Company is a Melbourne-based streetwear label set to prove there is not only a better way to consume but a better way to produce. The Common Good Company uses recycled materials and ethical practices to manufacture clothing apparel ‘in the benefit or interests of all.’ TCGCo defines more sustainable materials as those that reduce the environmental impact of a product through better chemistry, lower resource intensity, less waste and/or recyclability.
The House of Immortelle offers an innovative range of beauty essentials which are made from all natural, plant-based and cruelty free ingredients. All of their products are 100% free from Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, parabens, sulphates, phthalates, aluminium, mineral oils, silicone, artificial colours and fragrances.
Based on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Palm Art Boutique creates rustic home décor items from palm fronds and palm inflorescence. Rather than being sent to the tip in the green recycling bin these are transformed into unique and unusual pieces. Every single item is fully handmade and no two items are the same due to varying colours and textures of the leaves.
Her Hands is an online store, that sells unique toys, clothing and décor for your little ones, handmade by female artisans in developing countries. Her Hands supports the work being done by some inspiring brands, through giving a portion of profits to communities in need. Her Hands exists to help with the other piece of the puzzle - to provide sustainable employment to women in these communities. To empower them through financial independence – providing them with a pathway out of poverty, which in turn helps transform whole communities.
Big Al's Chilli oil started with a family secret recipe. Made only from the highest quality and freshest ingredients, sought from Sydney's Flemington Markets, all produce is hand picked and checked before put into each jar.
Fire & Water makes artisan soaps, bath bombs, soy candles & soy wax melts all handmade by Amanda Ayre with Love in Lake Macquarie.
Evie Possum is a collection of fun and eclectic, retro-inspired zip pouches featuring colourful Australian birds. Established during the Melbourne lockdown in 2020, all birds have been hand drawn and printed on 100% organic natural fibre linen, making each pouch unique and one of a kind, as well as being an ethically minded and environmentally conscious fabric. The dye used during the printing process is a non toxic, solvent free, water based pigment ink, free from heavy duty dyes and chemicals, meaning any excess runoff during the printing process is not harmful to the environment. All pieces are made with love in Melbourne in small batches.
Chai Buddy is bringing Australians real chai masala blends, blended by Diva Sabharwal and Sayaka Sayeed in Melbourne. Their chai blends have been formulated and perfected by Diva over several months to try and bring them back to their loving childhood memories and take you to the streets of India. Their postage satchels and ziplock bags are 100% compostable while their label stickers are biodegradable and the bookmarks are made from 100% recycled papers.
The Howgood Company is proudly a 100% Australian owned, designed and made clothing company. Founded in 2020 in Marrickville, with a clear mission to offer quality apparel that supports local with minimal impact on the rest of the world.
All their tees are knitted in Melbourne before making their way to Sydney to be cut, washed and sewed in the heart of the Inner West.
Berkelo is a team of food loving folks who makes traditional sourdough bread using fresh, nutritious, unbleached 100% Australian stoneground flour, and foods that accompany it. They are one of the only bakeries in NSW to have an in-house stone mill. Their vision is brought to life through their organic vegetable garden in Terrey Hills which provides most of the vegetables used in their kitchen and sell in the cafes.
