SUSTAINABILITY

We aim to create products that are sustainably produced and ethically manufactured. We want to make a difference where we can by managing all aspects of our business with the aim of reducing and neutralising our carbon footprint as much as possible.

We aim to steer away from the sell-more, make-more consumerist framework. We recognise that the clothing and textile industry we are a part of is obligated to do better at offsetting the waste and pollution generated through over-production and over-supply. We produce small-scale and timeless collections. In order to upkeep our promise of sustainability, we focus on curating a classic style with high quality garments, designing pieces with materials that stand the test of time. We produce limited quantities in the first-run of our pieces, and only reproduce items that are in high demand and sell-guaranteed, with the aim of counteracting any unnecessary wastage.

All of our orders are packed in a biodegradable and compostable Poly Bag.

ETHICS

The ethicality of our brand and our products is so important to us, which is why not only how we make Palytte garments but who makes them matters. Initially, each garment was crafted by our founder, Kate, from the design phase to completion. As demand for our brand grew, we transitioned to a hybrid production model. While many pieces are now manufactured both off shore and in our studio in Northern Rivers, NSW, we remain deeply rooted in our origins. Consequently, a curated selection of items continues to be handmade.

We operate Palytte on the fundamental bases of quality and equality, therefore we are committed to ensuring each dedicated step involved in the manufacturing process of our products — from consulting and sourcing, to sampling and production — is socially and ecologically responsible. We are highly selective with the factories we work with, both locally and off-shore, only engaging community-minded and independently ethical-verified manufacturers who share our common vision and advocate for sustainability, fair work standards, and supply-chain transparency.
