Environmentally Responsible
Eco-Friendly
This polo is manufactured with yarns made from recycled PET bottles (approx 14-16 of them). It is printed with high-quality carcinogen-free pigment inks. No cancer-causing chemicals and undesirable surfactants.

Zero plastic
We pack your threads in recyclable acid-free tissue paper and use only plant-based home compostable mailers, at no extra cost. By sending your parcel with our delivery partner Australia Post, you’re supporting their carbon-offset projects that have positive environmental and social impacts. Since 2019, their carbon neutral parcel delivery initiative is equivalent of taking 75,000 cars off the road – or roughly 200,000 tonnes of emissions.

Controlled production
Sustainability involves finding a balance between supply and demand. Life Apparel works with local and international factories where only limited quantities are produced of each model to ensure exclusivity and avoid overproduction, like large fashion brands. Learn more →

The Artwork

At Puntawarri there are all the waterholes. Good hunting in this Country. There is still some Rabbit Proof Fence there.

Puntawarri

Created by First Nations artist Judith Anya Samson, a Putijarra woman, growing up at Jigalong Mission.

“We drink water at Puntawarri. We clean and dig that waterhole. This Country is Puntawarri. My nanna, (deceased Martumili artist Dadda Samson), taught me to paint this Country. Puntawarri is important because it is my pop’s, my nannas' husband’s, place. They camped there and went hunting for goanna or anything, kangaroo or turkey. At Puntawarri there are all the waterholes. Good hunting in this Country. There is still some Rabbit Proof Fence there.

When I paint, I think about my old people, my Elders, and the stories they used to tell me about walking around in Country. They used to walk around there, in our place. And now I'm painting it in my own style. In my own way, I tell these stories for the "old people". The ones who have passed away. Remembering my old people makes me feel strong."
