Fast fashion sells us clothes so cheap that we don't see the value in them. We don't see the creativity and skill involved in making a garment from a pile of fabric, or in making fabric from a plant that was first grown in a field.

We don't see this value, because we aren't asked to cover it. Brands aren't covering it either, we're getting these cheap prices at the literal expense of the people who make our clothes. The people who, 98% of the time, are not paid a fair, living wage that meets their basic needs.

So yeah, a T-shirt should cost more than your coffee.

And in fact, your coffee should probably cost more too, in a world where what is 'fair trade' is considered a luxury to buy, not a right that every worker deserves.

We're proud to make Tees that we sell as affordably as possible, while paying everyone involved in their creation what they deserve and need to live a good life.



Take the quiz today and learn the truth about garment workers. 17/08/2021

Take the quiz today and learn the truth about garment workers. You’ve seen the clothing bargains on the Australian high street and online, however what you might not have seen is what goes on behind the scenes.

Test your knowledge with our What She Makes quiz, based on Oxfam’s extensive research in Bangladesh and Vietnam where fashion brands are producing a huge volume of clothing for the Australian market.

Some of the things you can learn by spending just 2 minutes of your time on this short quiz are:
- Which Australian brands are yet to publish plans to pay a living wage?
- What does it mean to earn a living wage?
- Which brands are the ones to keep an eye on (or similar)?
- How many women are working in the garment industry?
