Artisan garments made in Australia, clothes for women who want to dress well without costing the earth
At little green dress we make quality garments for women from sustainable fabrics.
Designed and made in Australia in small quantities we are proud to demonstrate that style and sustainability can coexist.
Sustainability requires doing what we do in a way that won’t compromise or prevent future generations enjoying our beautiful planet.
We choose thoughtfully, utilizing end of run fabrics, vintage fabrics reclaimed from a previous life as another garment and natural fibres that do the least damage to the Earth in their growth and production.
Proudly 100% Australian made, we work closely with home sewers and small workshops to ensure healthy and respectful work practices and fair remuneration for quality workmanship.
We choose natural fabrics such as linen, silk, cotton/silk blends, hemp/silk blends, hemp/yak blends, reclaimed Japanese kimono silks and rare vintage fabrics.
At little green dress we want to emphasize the value of quality garments made with attention to detail. We call this slow fashion. Our garments shouldn’t be a throwaway commodity but a cherished and defining staple in your wardrobe which has come into existence with integrity and thought for our planet.
What is slow fashion? Slow fashion is about producing high quality, long-lasting, beautiful garments.
It’s an approach to fashion that moves away from mass produced, low cost production taking advantage of people in developing countries.
It is not about production of garments that are “in” and then “out of fashion” in a heart beat. In fact it is a stand against ‘disposable fashion’.
Slow fashion encompasses more than production; it is about conscious design, high quality fabrics and finish, selective retailing, marketing with love and building relationships with clients who care about our planet, who buy with consideration and who appreciate who they are and value quality over quantity.
