MANUFACTURING

One of the most important elements of our brand identity is that we have chosen to manufacture 100% of our goods on Australian shores, supporting our local community and textile industry. We proudly work with a small manufacturer in Melbourne - The Sample Room, who is accredited by ‘Ethical Clothing Australia (ECA)’ which is a true testament to their high standards. This ensures we can be confident that every person in our supply chain is paid appropriately, has safe working conditions and that the rights of our garment workers are protected. We are also extremely conscious about not wanting to create excess waste, and choose to manufacture in small production runs. Doing this not only enables us to focus on providing high quality garments but ensures that we are only making enough to meet the demand of our customers and establishing a zero-waste production environment.   

FABRICS

100% of the fabrics that we use are natural, biodegradable and sustainably sourced. Fabrics that are of the highest quality, that come from the earth and won’t take multiple lifetimes to break down.

LINEN - Linen is one of the most naturally occurring sustainable fibres, coming from the flax plant and requiring no pesticides or irrigation/additional water to grow.

We use 100% Linen that is sourced from a family owned business in Sydney, and has been ‘Standard 100 OEKO-TEX approved’. This ensures that there are no harmful chemical substances in the finished fabric before it arrives at our manufacturer and the fabric is therefore harmless to human health, unlike man-made fibres such as polyester.

Linen is also known as the worlds strongest natural fibre and is far more durable than cotton. It is highly breathable and hypoallergenic, meaning moisture cannot build up in the fabric so it won’t hold any bacteria.

SILK - Silk is a natural fabric that has one of the lowest carbon footprints available and requires no pesticides to grow. It is also one of the strongest fabrications, meaning it will last for years to come and add to the overall quality of the garment.

We use 100% Silk Satin that is sourced from a family owned business in Sydney, and has been ‘Standard 100 OEKO-TEX approved’. This ensures that there are no harmful chemical substances in the finished fabric before it arrives at our manufacturer.

Silk is also thermo-regulating and adapts to your ever changing body temperature. This makes it the perfect fabric for both summer and winter, and ensures you can wear your beautiful pieces all year round.

PACKAGING

At LA-ZE STUDIOS all of our packaging is is responsibly sourced from fellow Australian business and is 100% recyclable and low impact.

All orders are shipped in biodegradable and compostable packaging from 'Better Packaging Co' which when composted breaks down in 3-6 months, as opposed to the 300 years it would take for a normal plastic mailer. Our labels are also biodegradable, meaning that the whole package can easily be composted with little hassle to the customer. 

Our swing tags are made from recycled cardboard, and all of our orders are wrapped in recycled tissue paper which we keep to a minimum, using only what is necessary to reduce waste on the consumer side. For our ‘Thank You’ cards and stickers, we use ‘Sustainable Printing Co’ which prints on 100% post consumer waste recycled stocks, and takes a genuine approach to reducing their environmental footprint.

As a small business, we believe that it is our responsibility to make an ethical choice when it comes to our packaging and although these choices are all small we want to ensure that every aspect of our supply chain reflects our brand mission.
