What if all the clothes we bought were sustainable? What if everything we wore was made ethically?

Our new reusable, super comfortable, 100% natural, plastic-free, elastic-free, ethical and Australian made masks are slowly dropping in the coming days - and they’re our most sustainable masks yet.

Victoria heads into another six weeks of 'lockdown' at midnight tonight, so I've made the tough decision to close our Hampton shop for good this Saturday, 11th July. It's hard to believe just four months ago, I was excitedly signing our second lease with rainbows and unicorns in my eyes, blissfully unaware of what was to come, looking forward to the next phase of our TFA journey. It's been a wild few months since, and what was set to become our flagship store, will now go down in history as our second pop up instead.

Together, we exist to create change, and together, we use our businesses as a force for good. Our community of brands create positive social and environmental change every day, consciously designing and creatively thinking, always in pursuit of a better, more ethical and sustainable world.

In the coming weeks, we'll be sharing styling videos, virtual shopping tours and designer interviews to help you stay connected and be part of our positive-vibe-filled pink pop up.

The Fabric Social operated for five years as a fashion label, creating incredible partnerships and relationships in the process, but social media support and the encouragement from friends and family weren't enough.

June 25, 2019

While you've been busy trying to find new ways to charge the people who use you, we've all been busy trying to find new ways to positively change the world. A little help would be nice, Instagram.

May 17, 2019

It's time to roll up our sleeves and commit. Individually, collectively, consumers and companies alike; the responsibility needs to be owned by every single person that gets up and puts clothes on every day. Every day when we get up and get dressed, we all have the power to create positive change, and that is an incredibly beautiful thing.

March 27, 2019

Our addiction to fast-paced trends has embedded environmental issues in the fashion supply chain, but this is precisely what the ACFC stands to challenge and change.
