Circular Fashion Label Embraces Wool
Kardinia Dohne stud is proud to be 1 of 10 woolgrowers to supply Dohne wool to be used by A.BCH, bespoke knit fabric designer and manufacturer MTK Australia range. The Dohne wool was used within its A.34 thermal shirt range. The fibre was purchased by Fox and Lillie before being sent to Xin’ao in China to be processed and spun. The farms, broker and spinner are RWS (Responsible Wool Standard) certified. These yarns are kept separate from other wool, ensuring traceability from farm to product. Spun yarns were sent back to Victoria to the A.BCH mill while MTK Australia knitted and dyed the fabrics locally. Circular design is an approach to developing products and systems that incorporate three principles.
1. Designing out waste
2. Keeping materials and products in use.
3. Regenerating natural systems.
The West Melbourne-based company is accredited by Ethical Clothing Australia.
