Good news for those looking to take a more considered approach to shopping: multi-label boutique Rue Madame has brought in several new sustainable labels to town. Here’s what you need to know about them.
Aussie denim specialist Outland Denim is a favourite with Meghan Markle. It’s known for working ethically with women who were victims of human trafficking – their dedicated production facility in Cambodia has provided 750 people with gainful employment to date. On the sustainable front, the label favours using advanced technologies such as Laser and Ozone, both of which heavily reduces the need for water-intensive washing and heavy chemical use as compared to traditional techniques.

Hong Kong-based label The R Collective specialises in upcycling – or basically, the act of transforming discarded or old materials into something new and of higher quality. Marine Serre, for example, is one of the industry’s best examples of upcycling – and proves that it can be done in a manner that’s palatable to fashion folks. The R Collective uses waste materials sourced from Hong Kong non-profit organisation Redress to create their clean, minimalist staples, and even donates 25 per cent of proceeds back to the organisation.
