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.

When Kayla contacted Hanna, Dorsu’s co-founder, wanting to create more gender inclusivity in Atlassian’s swag offerings, Hanna jumped on the opportunity.Kayla’s effort to bring Dorsu to Atlassian is part of a grander shift in considering where our clothes -- all our clothes – are made.

Women dominate most aspects of the fashion industry, from design school student bodies to entry-level jobs, making 70% of the entire fashion workforce. We’re even the primary customers, with women’s fashion growing to $621 billion in annual revenue, a staggering 54% more than menswear.

The term ‘capsule wardrobe’ gets thrown around a lot these days and it seems it’s true meaning is getting a little lost among fashion trends and is being stretched to actually incorporate more shopping, rather than less. A capsule wardrobe in its truest sense, moves through the seasons. 

Our team is the most important thing to us at Dorsu. We do what we do because we believe the conventional garment industry is inhumane, unnecessary and in dire need of some serious change. At Dorsu, we want to break that cycle, provide an alternative for both workers and consumers.

Traverse Journeys run group trips all over the world, founded on the principles of ecotourism and the concept of purposeful travel. Through each trip Traverse Journeys offers, travellers will be exposed to local culture and surroundings in an educational, supportive and respectful way.

Our From the Floor Series gives insight into what we do at Dorsu, how and why. Have you ever wondered where your clothes were made? Brands are typically disconnected from their suppliers, focusing on design, marketing and sales while clicking “go” on an order to a factory. 

Walk Sew Good got together in 2016 to walk across South East Asia, raising awareness and bringing light to ethical fashion and production throughout the region. We sat down with Gab to hear all about their journey, their biggest challenges, lessons and how we can all be a part of global change.

From the Floor Series is a further insight into what we do at Dorsu, how and why. Have you ever wondered where your clothes were made? What is the production process? Who makes them? Well, we would like to show you, every step of the way, from idea generation to final product.
