Do you want the clothing that you buy to not only be stylish and practical, but also have a positive impact on the people who are producing it? Then you might want to check out One Colour.
One Colour was started in 2006 by Di and Jeff Stitt. Their aim was to help Australians to focus not only on what they are wearing, but who makes that clothing. They want the buyers of the garments to be able to make a connection with the people who produce them.
The ethically-sourced clothing, accessories and gifts are produced on the African continent, mainly in the East African region. Every purchase that is made from One Colour has a direct impact on the women who make the products, allowing them to feed, clothe and educate their children in a sustainable manner.
You can see a selection of One Colour’s pieces at the Slow Fashion Sho
