How is shopping with Philosophy Australia an ethical, sustainable and slow fashion option?
We pride ourselves to be ethical in that we consider people and planet with every item we create; therefore, we have a very transparent supply chain and can name every pair of hands that touch the design from sketch to dispatch, which is done right here in Sydney.
We are a unique business in that way and know that our production model is sustainable as we have been producing in this manner for almost two decades. With every element taking place within Sydney our transportation footprint alone would be a rarity for any brand.
As a designer, I have chosen to create and produce with qualities of fabric specifically selected or developed for their endurance, performance, wearability and durability. My design motto is easy wear, easy care, wear anywhere style, meaning products have to work with our busy lifestyles so that my customers can wear, love, wash and repeat often and can do so with confidence that the garment is going to last, and continue to make them feel fabulous when wearing.
I hear countless comments from customers that they have been wearing the same pair of bengaline pants (which are our signature style) for more than 10 years, and although that’s not ideal to our sales revenue it’s something we are proud of.
As a brand we consider slowing down Fashion and being a voice for anti-fast Fashion to be a core value and we will always shine the spotlight on local manufacture and the importance of buying Australian made.
