Join us for the Ethical Manufacturers Tour, presented by Ethical Clothing Australia as part of PayPal Melbourne Fashion Festival. We’ll travel together by bus from a central Fitzroy meeting point, visit three Ethical Clothing Australia accredited manufacturers, then return to the same location.
You’ll get exclusive, behind-the-scenes access, plus the chance to meet the people behind local production.
— WHAT TO EXPECT —
We’ll spend around 30 minutes at each stop. During transit, we’ll screen documentary content to add context to what you’re seeing on the day. Tea/coffee will be provided, with a scheduled stop at Superdays Coffee in Heidelberg
