ETHICAL CLOTHING AUSTRALIA: ETHICAL MANUFACTURERS TOUR
FRIDAY 20 FEBRUARY
9:00AM – 1:00PM
TOUR
Join us for the Ethical Manufacturers Tour, presented by Ethical Clothing Australia as part of PayPal Melbourne Fashion Festival. We’ll travel together by bus from a central Fitzroy meeting point, visit three Ethical Clothing Australia accredited manufacturers, then return to the same location.
You’ll get exclusive, behind-the-scenes access, plus the chance to meet the people behind local production. We’ll spend around 30 minutes at each stop. During transit, we’ll screen documentary content to add context to what you’re seeing on the day. Tea/coffee will be provided, with a scheduled stop at Superdays Coffee in Heidelberg
