About

Magpie Goose is an Australian ethical clothing label, founded in 2015 by Laura Egan and Maggie McGowan and based in Brisbane. The pair set up the brand while working in remote communities, aiming to create economic opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people through art and clothing. Each limited-edition piece carries a design by an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander artist and tells the story behind the art and the community it comes from. The label makes shirts, shorts, pants, overalls, dresses, playsuits, jumpsuits, kaftans, T-shirts, baby rompers and kids' overalls, plus bucket hats and scrunchies. Pieces include the Aretha Brown Overalls, the Relaxed Pants in Bungwal Ferns, a Short Sleeve Collared Shirt printed with Aheyenenhe (Snakes) and the Woven in History Kaftan. All collections are designed, hand screen-printed and produced in Australia using natural textiles, and garment offcuts are made into accessories at Second Stitch in Melbourne. Since March 2021, Magpie Goose has been 100% Aboriginal owned by Amanda Hayman (Wakka Wakka/Kalkadoon) and Troy Casey (Kamilaroi), who run it as a family business and social enterprise. Its pieces are stocked at Aboriginal Art Co in West End, Brisbane.

Chillax

Turkey · Est. 2014 · Affordable

Chillax is a sustainable, handmade Turkish clothing label for women, founded in Istanbul in 2014 by Figen Ceken Bayraktar and Guvenc Bayraktar. A family business, the brand takes its name from chill and relax, reflecting its philosophy of enjoying every moment while feeling comfortable physically and mentally. It was born from a love of natural fabrics, an appreciation for handcraft and a desire to act with an environmentally conscious approach, believing women should not have to choose between fashion and the future. The collection centres on everyday resort wear, including kimonos, kaftans, maxi dresses, matching sets, tops and trousers, alongside crochet pieces, hats and bags. Clothing is made in Turkey, with every cut, stitch and fastening done by hand in limited editions. Chillax prefers deadstock fabrics such as cotton, viscose and linen, giving pre-existing fabric a new life. Tailors place patterns to minimise waste, and leftover fabric is upcycled into scrunchies, tops and shorts. A local workshop supports women collaborators in home-based production, and packaging is made from recyclable materials. Chillax sells its slow fashion pieces through its own online store and ships worldwide from Istanbul.

Paper Label

Canada · Est. 2013 · Affordable

Paper Label is a Canadian minimalist clothing label for women, founded in Vancouver in 2013 by Teresa Lake. Lake started the brand to make modern, comfortable sleepwear in breathable fabrics, and it has since grown into a wardrobe of timeless, easy everyday wear and loungewear designed for comfort. The collection now spans sweaters, cardigans, tops, trousers, dresses, skirts and sleepwear. Pieces include the Serena Cropped Cardigan, the Cecilia Pullover, the Simone Button Up, the Lorne Oversized Sweatshirt, the Donna Shirt Dress and its Night Suit. Everything is designed and developed in Vancouver and manufactured overseas by a small group of long-term factory partners. Paper Label chooses fabrics by looking at their overall impact, from water and pesticide use to processing, care, longevity and biodegradability. It works with materials such as TENCEL, recycled nylon, organic and BCI cotton and LENZING ECOVERO viscose, lists certifications including GOTS, GRS, RWS and WRAP, and ships in compostable packaging to cut plastic waste. The independent label is woman-owned and women-run, and it sells online and through stockists across Canada and the US.

Minnow Bathers

Canada · Est. 2009 · Affordable

Minnow Bathers is a Canadian swimwear label for women, founded in Toronto in 2009 by friends Karen Donaldson and Vanessa Warrack. After studying fashion design in different cities, the pair returned home and began making swimsuits for friends, frustrated by tiny string bikinis and wanting suits that actually fit and stayed on while swimming, camping and jumping off cliffs. The label designs high-performance swimwear in a range of sizes and styles that reflect the diversity of the human form. Minnow releases one collection a year of one-piece maillots such as the ADDER, BRIAR and CARSON, bikini tops like the ABBIE and AMBER, and matching bottoms. Every suit is made to order, by hand, in its Toronto studio using minimal-waste pattern-making and fabric design, and it also sells fabric scraps. Its newer fabrics are chlorine-resistant and UV-blocking, made from 78% ECONYL recycled yarn and 22% spandex, and its prints are digitally printed in Montreal. Since 2017 it has worked with artist Daniel Innes on hand-drawn textile designs, and it ships in compostable mailers. Minnow donates a percentage of each sale to nature conservation organisations and has been featured by The FADER and the National Post.
