Ethically Kate

Ethically Kate is an eco lifestyle blog by Kate Hall, ethical fashion ambassador from New Zealand. Ethical fashion and living are no longer my hobbies, it has become my mission... to change the future of fast fashion and the way we consume. 

Ethically Kate is a place to feel encouraged, inspired, and made aware of how you can reduce your footprint on the planet.

Sensually Soaps

Sensually Soaps are natural, cold processed soaps handmade by Kerry.

All our products are made with a range of plant based oils & Australian Essential Oils where possible, including Australian Olive Oil and Australian Macadamia Nut Oil.

We only use natural additives such as Goat's Milk, Coconut Milk, Coconut Cream, Silk, Clays, Skin Safe Micas, Essential Oils, Fragrance Oils and Organic Herbs and Botanicals.

Sensually Soaps is proud to be an Australian business. All our soaps are hand poured, hand cut and packaged in Kirkham, NSW.

Republik 

Republik makes kitchen grade premium stainless steel bottles, tumblers & shakers

Better for the planet, insulation that never absorbs odour and an easy clean lid feature is what we want. It means no more smelly or stained plastic cups, just perfect drinking every time and less rubbish on our earth. 

We offer a stainless steel range that can be used over and over again, at home, the office or on the go, while not skimping on feel or design.

Wild & Waste Free

We are a family of three based in Narrogin- rural Western Australia- that have reduced our waste from multiple 45L bins a week to just one 5L bin at most, by making a few small changes. 

Our number one helper and activist is little Miss One, who can often be seen picking up rubbish at the park or picking through our recycling bin to reuse items in her play. 

This store is our platform of sharing the products with you that we love and use every day. We use everything we sell, and back it 100%.

Fruity Sacks

Fruity Sacks are eco friendly, reusable  mesh polyester bags especially made for fruit & vegetable shopping.

Fruity Sacks are strong and lightweight - making them an easy alternative to single use plastic bags. People have found many other uses for them - storing socks, storing the bath toys, making nut milk, wrapping children’s school lunches, and more.

Surf Sock 

Surf Sock is the only recycled way to slide into your wetsuit. Made in Australia from spinnaker sail offcuts destined for landfill, they are strong, reusable and a lasting alternative to plastic bags. 

We also make re-Sail bags and pouches made from heavier sail offcuts - drawstring bags, phone pouch, laptop sleeve, and backpacks.

Every Surf Sock sold helps to reduce both plastic pollution and landfill. 

The People's Fabric

The People’s Fabric ethically source one-of-a-kind ikat textiles via a three-way partnership with a not-for-profit organisation called Planet Indonesia and a women’s weaving cooperative, both based in West Kalimantan on the island of Borneo, Indonesia. 

The vibrant ikat textiles used in our cushions, bags and baby booties are hand dyed and hand woven using traditional processes, and each tell their own story through the unique motifs woven into each piece. We share these stories through a weaver profile that accompanies each unique ikat piece so we can share the ikat’s journey with you – from community to couch.

In addition to creating sales avenues for the weavers, being a member of the cooperative provides women with access to communal savings groups, which aids them in a variety of ways such as building their own business, sending their children to school or supporting their own and their family’s healthcare.

Wild Herbary

Our philosophy at Wild herbary is to make and source highly effective, ethical and beautiful products which are as close to nature as possible. 

Our range includes all natural insect repellent and hand sanitisers, body scrubbers, and reusable totes.

Founded by mum of three - the core focus of the brand is to bring essential everyday products that are good for you, your family, your home and the environment.

Unknown Green

Unknown Green offers a range of reusable everyday products including straw sets, produce bags, tote bags, bamboo toothbrushes and insulated drink bottles.

We have teamed up with Rainforest Rescue and Save the Cassowary - two organizations dedicated to protecting our rainforest regions and species. 5% of each sale is donated towards saving a square metre of threatened Daintree lowland rainforest which is prime vulnerable cassowary habitat.

Elk & Ina

Elk & Ina is a collection of handmade clothing subscribing to the slow fashion movement. 

All pieces are designed, hand cut and sewn by seamstress/designer Kristina Forrest at her home studio in Brisbane, Australia. 

Most designs are made using GOTS certified 100% organic cotton. Organic woven cotton, Japanese cotton, Linen and upcycled vintage Japanese kimono fabric are also used in certain pieces.
