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

Culture could coexist with this shiny, ever-changing world.

Strength Of Our Elders

Created by First Nations artist Emma Hollingsworth, a Kaanju, Kuku Ya’u and Girrimay woman, currently residing on Turrbal Country.

"This artwork represents the strength, resilience and courage of my Elders. Those who withstood great adversity so that I may be where I am today. My Elders inspired and led the way, taught me about my culture and showed me that culture could coexist with this shiny, ever-changing world.

This painting is for my Elders, who comforted me and taught me so much about inner strength and how to stand tall in the face of adversity."
