ADVOCACY

One of our biggest goals has been to ensure we’re following up any statement we make with an initiative to support. Find out more about the main causes we support:

CREATE NOT DESTROY ARTIST PROGRAM

Each season we collaborate with a creative we love to develop art for a collection of clothing. We then create a spotlight on them and share with our community. See some of our favourite Create Not Destroy artist series’ below.

CULTURE

We have always been Inspired by counterculture movements of hippies, punks, musicians, skaters and surfers that we have lived and breathed our whole lives. Byron Bay has always had a special part to play in this. We’ll continue to use our brand as a pillar of support for sustainable initiatives, up-and-coming artists and musicians to professionals in surf and skate and reach for the alternative subcultures we’ve come from.

CAUSES, COLLABORATIONS & PARTNERSHIPS

EQUALITY

Our aim is to shine a spotlight on equality across the board and raise money for various charities to support, uplift and empower women locally and globally and ultimately help get the world to a point where we all share the same, equal rights. We work with all artists no matter their gender, just human beings with a shared passion for equality.

FUCK PLASTIC

In recent years, we’ve been pushing a plastic-free agenda, aptly named ‘Fuck Plastic’, to reduce the use of plastics, help to raise awareness and educate on the problems surrounding plastic use. The goal is to ultimately eliminate the use of single-use plastics all together. By partnering with organisations and charities such as Plastic Free July, Sea Shepherd and Take 3 for the Sea, we’ve been able to spread awareness to over 2 million people globally, donated thousands of proceeds by clothing collaborations and fundraising, and contributed to educating over 300,000 people worldwide.
