Our Materials
Update due to current PFAS spotlight in the news.
Our Australian Super Cotton does not use any PFAS during production.
Our recycled Repreve layers and elastics are Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX® certified which limits the use of many toxins and as of 2023 explicitly includes PFAS.
---------------------------------------
We can't always get what we want to use here in Australia with limited manufacturing, especially of recycled goods.
We look forward to the day we are Australian through and through. For now, we want to be transparent about our materials.
We are Australian made and owned and more than 50% of the teen period pant material is Australian Super Cotton - grown here, milled here, dyed here.
For the new adult design it is 80%! This will be the same for our teen range once we sell out of current stock.
