Fabric & Care

Softness

Breathability
Waterproof Breathable


For best care, machine wash gently in cold water, using a mild detergent, and avoid using bleach or fabric softeners.

Line dry out of direct sunlight, refrain from tumble drying to prevent shrinkage or fabric deterioration. If necessary, use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric to avoid damaging any prints or embellishments.

Avoid contact with rough surfaces or abrasive materials, as this may cause pilling or snags in the fabric. For long-term care, store the garment in a dry place and avoid prolonged exposure to direct heat or moisture.

Sustainability 🍃

Environmentally Responsible
Crafted from premium yarns made from recycled PET bottles, this polo is printed with advanced, high-quality, carcinogen-free inks. This ensures not only vibrant, lasting designs but also minimises harmful environmental impact throughout the printing process.

‎

Sustainable Production
Life Apparel is committed to sustainability by partnering with vetted local and international manufacturers. We produce limited quantities of each design, ensuring both exclusivity and preventing overproduction, which helps to reduce waste and minimise our environmental footprint.

‎

Eco-Friendly Packaging
Our commitment to sustainability extends to our packaging, which is entirely plastic-free. We use kerbside-recyclable or home-compostable mailers to reduce landfill waste. All deliveries are managed by Australia Post, which actively supports carbon-offset projects aimed at reducing emissions and promoting a greener future.

The Artwork
"...we may sometimes fly alone, but there is plenty of room in the sky - room enough for all of us to fly..."

Digital Illustration

Shelley Conway is a First Nations Artist, a proud Bundjalung and South Sea Islander woman, currently residing on Yugambeh land (Queensland).

"Milbany (eagle) soars the skies as we stand on Country, attempting to emulate the characteristics of the mighty wedge-tail eagle—confident in our abilities, powerful in our truth, unwavering in our purpose. Proudly flying the banner of our ancestry.

In this piece, the gurumgan (stars) represent The Dreaming and the worlds that we must travel between: the Human World, the Physical World, and the Sacred World. Our healing and personal growth are rarely linear; the journey is often fraught with obstacles and challenges that we must overcome, both internally and externally. This journey is our personal gawarima; it cannot be replicated by another, nor should we try to mirror someone else’s path. The experiences we bring with us to this moment are unique to us as individuals, and we can use these to stand strong in our beliefs, rooted in the knowledge that we already have inside us everything we need to succeed.

Milbany reminds me that we may sometimes fly alone, but there is plenty of room in the sky - room enough for all of us to fly."

Great Shirt

Bought the eagle shirt for my husband for Christmas, as it is his totem, and he loves it. Beautiful design, really nice shirt.

Acknowledgement Of Country

Life Apparel celebrates and acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we live and work, the Kombumerri families of the Yugambeh Language Region. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging for their generosity and custodianship of Country throughout Australia.

We recognise and honour the ongoing connection and deep spiritual relationship that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to this Country, and acknowledge the unique role they play in caring for and protecting it for future generations. As an Australian-led boutique label and proud allies, we demonstrate our respect for First Nations peoples through our commitments to environmentally sustainable and ethical business practices. We recognise their continuing connection to land and waters, and thank them for protecting our natural resources and ecosystems.
