We're an ethically accredited social enterprise that provides employment and training in the fashion industry to women from refugee and new migrant communities in clothing production, retail, marketing and design.
We believe that tapping into the creativity of refugee communities can lead to empowerment and social inclusion.
We've been providing first Australian jobs, training, outreach programs and pathways to employment since 2014.
The Social Outfit is a registered Incorporated Association, and recognised as a Public Benevolent Institution Charity. Further, as a trading social enterprise, any income generated from product sales is directed back into the organisation in order to deliver on our social mission. We are registered with, and report regularly to, the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC).
We are also ethically accredited by Ethical Clothing Australia and the Good On You app. The Social Outfit is accredited and licensed to display the Ethical Clothing Australia trademark on its Australian-made garments.
Ultimately, we want to continue to make and sell quality products that help financially empower people, and provide customers with unique pieces that tell amazing human stories.
