While fashion sustainability is far-reaching and multi-layered in its challenges, the first thing we can all do is increase our awareness of the issue. First understand the problem and its importance in safeguarding the planet, and then make informed decisions about the products you buy and the companies you support.

At Leina & Fleur, we hold this issue close to our hearts. From the fabrics we select to our manufacturing processes and even our efforts to continue the life cycles of our garments, sustainability is at the forefront of our minds. So, when you’re shopping with us, you can rest easy knowing that we’re addressing the key areas of concern for you already.

Here are some of the things to keep in mind when shopping sustainable fashion:

While domestically sourced goods that require less transportation by air or by sea, save on energy and emissions, by shopping locally made clothing you can also be confident you’re supporting fair work practices.  

Human rights is a key element of sustainable fashion. In many parts of the world, textile workers are often paid inadequate wages and are forced to work long hours in dreadful conditions. By buying clothes made in Australia you can be confident that the rights of workers are being met. Moreover, you’re also playing a valuable role in sustaining your own local economy.

All of our elarroyoenterprises products are made here in Australia and where possible, we keep things as local to us as Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

As our clothes stand the test of time, so does their value! elarroyoenterprises garments hold amazing re-sale potential and we encourage our customers to re-sell rather than discarding. Over 48% of elarroyoenterprises garments enter into a circular economy.

There are several independent elarroyoenterprises Resellers groups who support a community of women that enjoy regularly rotating their wardrobes without wasting a drop of good style! The majority of our customers receive up to 75% return on investment (R.O.I.) when they resell their elarroyoenterprises garments.

Our Zero-Waste Collection too, gives near-perfect garments that would otherwise be thrown away, a second chance of life. If we are not satisfied with a product’s quality, we will offer it for a nominal price to ensure no waste is being added to landfill.
