Shop for Locally-Made & Fairtrade Fashion

Shikoba-Clothing-NZ Eco-Fashion
According to TreeHugger, three out of every four garments in New Zealand are made in China and very little cloth is produced locally. Green designers are working hard to change all of that by supporting local farmers and manufacturing on-island. With sleek, flattering lines functionality and durability, Kiwis want their fashion to be both cutting-edge stylish and able to go the distance.

There are a growing number of designers, who, being aware of eco-issues are embracing the triple bottom line – profit, environmental sustainability and community involvement. Subscribe to the Australian eco-fashion magazine Peppermint in either print or digital format, for current antipodean eco-fashion.
