Thank you all, for everything 🧡 (especially to for this incredible 30-second movie!)

Whether it was sharing a conversation with us on social media, showing up to one of our meetups, or attending a workshop with us to learn about ethical and sustainable fashion, your contribution to our community and a fairer fashion industry is so appreciated.

We hope our messages will continue to spread for a long time to come and that you all continue to share those valuable conversations.

Buy less, choose well, make it last. ✊

Intersectionality in fashion matters! 🌿
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Swipe to check out the illustration by , which does a great job of visually representing the many intersections of our individual and collective experiences.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do the brands you support acknowledge where power and privilege sit in their business?
If you create clothing, how can you continue to do so in a more intersectional way?
What would the future of fashion look like if it included all of us?

Hi everyone, it's Molly here.

It’s with a very heavy heart that I share with you today that I will be resigning from my positions at WA Ethical Collective. As of early February, I will be stepping away and hopefully handing over my roles to other members of our organisation, or those who would like to be a part of it.

I'm so honoured to have been a part of WA Ethical Collective since our beginnings in June 2019 and throughout 2021 as we established our roots as a charity.

It has been a pleasure to connect with each of you. I hope to continue seeing you out there or online, creating your art and making change. Thank you, truly, for your inspiration and encouragement over the years.

On that note, we have some board positions now open.

👉 If you’re interested in joining WA Ethical Collective in a volunteer leadership role on our board, we are now taking applications for the following positions, each commencing on the 7th February 2022:

- Chairperson
- Treasurer
- Secretary
- General Committee Member
- General Board Members

Applications close on Monday 24th January 2022, at 11.59 pm. If you’re curious about any of the positions or know someone who might be perfect for the job, please get in touch with me at [email protected].

A major part of maintaining a more sustainable wardrobe is doing regular wardrobe review - but not in the traditional sense which means getting rid of your old clothes just to make room for new ones. Swipe to see a rough idea on what to look out for!

It’s about analysing the make-up and origins of your pieces and your buying habits. This is a process and requires a commitment as big as the size of your wardrobe, so be prepared if yours is overflowing.

If you choose to do a review to kick off this Jamuary, let us know what you've discovered and learnt from your clothes! 💛👖

Reasons to shop with ethical brands this Christmas! 🎄

Shopping ethically can be tough at the best times, never mind with the pressure and rush around this holiday season. For a little motivation, here’s our reasons why we go to ethical/sustainable businesses to do our Christmas shopping. 🎁

P.S. Our clothing swap at markets is tomorrow, and its not too late to get tickets (link in our bio)! It’ll be a good chance to maybe grab an ethical gift for a loved one. 💛
