WE ARE ALL ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY 🌎
Upcycled
OUR DENIM
All our denim is recycled, up-cycled and reclaimed!
We source from op shops, vintage stores and donations. We alter, fix, mend and bedazzle to create one-of-a-kind pieces that encourage a circular fashion economy and make you stand out!
DENIM DROP OFF
In order to develop a more circular model for Big Sis The Label we have set up a collection bin for old, unused, stained and forgotten denim pieces.
These will then be used to create new and exciting products.
We aim to use all possible aspects of the denim so we can limit the amount of waste heading to landfill.
An important part of our ethos is to be a large part of the circular fashion economy.
While in the future we want to expand this endeavour to other textiles we have made a start with denim.
The circular fashion movement asks consumers to reconsider how they dispose of their garment while asking corporations what they can do to facilitate this.
If you are local to the Gold Coast area please come down to 8/35 Township Drive, Burleigh Heads and drop off your unwanted denim pieces.
OUR UNIQUE PIECES
We produce all our up-cycled denim pieces in-house on the Gold Coast, allowing us the ability to be as transparent as possible about our garment lifecycle.
Some of our denim pieces have been donated whereas the majority have been hand picked from vintage stores globally.
Acquiring vintage denim allows us to remove waste from landfill and promote a cradle-to-cradle lifecycle.
Once the jackets hit HQ we wash, adorn, decorate and redesign in-house using our own Big Sis seamstress.
Thus we aren't outsourcing a majority of our development to third world nations and in factories where we are unable to oversee the treatment and process.
We take a lot of pride in our craftsmanship and we nurture every individual piece.
This is what makes Big Sis The Label UNIQUE & SPECIAL ♥
If you want a piece of art you can keep for years to come and will never date, then invest in yourself and our planet.
