Black Friday and Cyber Monday are upon us once again. Originating in the US, Black Friday follows Thanksgiving and leads into Cyber Monday- a global weekend of frantic and excessive consumption.  We recommend taking a step back and asking yourself - do I really need to buy this? 

As a part of the second drop of our Reflection Collection, we are excited to bring you our first ever Unisex Tee - an everyday go-to garment with straight lines and a classic fit. This brand new tee features a high round neck and short sleeves, designed to fit both men and women, perfectly.

Nisa creates employment opportunities for women coming from a refugee background. Their production studio provides space for people to not only work in a safe environment, but, to develop their language skills, make friends, learn how to engage in their new life in New Zealand and have fun!

In 2016, Megan O’Malley and Gab Murphy set out to walk through Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Northern Laos to discover and share stories of ethical, sustainable and local clothing production. We caught up with Megan to hear about her experience walking through South East Asia.

When we started chatting to The Social Outfit team back in early 2017 - we knew that we were destined to create beautiful things together! The capsule collection is made up of 5 limited edition pieces and combines the streamlined cuts of Dorsu with the boldness of The Social Outfit.

Everyday Advocates is a new series highlighting collaborators whose ethical values are reflected in their businesses, hobbies, and everyday actions. We are launching the series with Sam Leigh from eco|mono who talked to us about her path to ethical fashion, as well as the challenges of working in the industry.

Sustainability advocacy requires year-round action, but few people have the time or opportunity to start a blog, work for an ethical fashion brand, or organise a clothes swap. Luckily, there is one small action we can take to become “micro-influencers” among our friends and family.

A collection designed specifically for our Dorsu people with a focus on design and construction detail. All garments are intentionally crafted as versatile pieces that are more than just basics -- they are seasonless, reliable and affordable additions to balance out a considered, cared for, ethical wardrobe.
