It's not sustainable, it's not eco-friendly, it's not natural, it doesn't breathe, it harbours bacteria, it doesn't break down, and put simply - we can do better.

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

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.

We're all different shapes and sizes. Our labels are all different too, so on each individual garment, you'll find a size chart attached so you can measure yourself and find the perfect fit. We suggest measuring your bust, waist and hips for the most accurate size check. Some of our brands use Australian and New Zealand sizing and some of our brands use global sizing, so it's always best to check the size chart attached to each individual garment before placing your order to avoid returns. If you need to return your garment for a different size, we're more than happy to arrange returns, exchanges and refunds too. We respect that you are investing in a wardrobe to last a long time...

There's something powerful about a strong monochrome outfit, and an even bigger statement is to be made when it's ethically handcrafted too. Shiva Novinfar agrees, and her namesake label is a reflection of her own values, style and vision for the kind of industry she wants to work in.

February 03, 2020

I believe that fashion should be consciously made with people and the planet prioritised over profits, and I believe it can co-exist with morals without compromising on style. Good fashion should make you feel good, inside and out, but not at the expense of the maker, and this is exactly what the team at Brooke Da Cruz believe in too.
