In the past, back some years now, Australian fashion brands were few and far between. There were the well-known brands such as Country
Road, Sportsgirl and Sportscraft but we were yet to see many independent contemporary designers.
Fast-forward to now and the number of Australian fashion brands has skyrocketed and we are privileged to have local designers creating
pieces to satiate the desires of all fashion lovers no matter their style or budget.
From brands with a focus on a chic minimalist look, or those creating trendy and contemporary pieces, to niche labels and everything in
between.
And Australian fashion brands aren’t just scoring great marks here at home.
There are local labels appearing on the world stage in partnership with industry leaders like Net-A-Porter and Matches.
As well as these Australian clothing brands there are also more stores sharing international contemporary and high-end labels on home soil,
from Toteme to Marni, Jacquemus to By Far.
Brands that, once-upon-a-time, would only have been found in stores far, far away.
There’s so much available locally now, there’s rarely reason to shop abroad!
And then you add the second-hand clothing and luxury consignment that’s emerging at a rapid rate, and there’s almost too much
to choose from!

One of the top reasons to try shopping closer to home is to reduce carbon emissions associated with our purchases, therefore reducing
