Think of a circular jigsaw where garments + textile resources come in and out of our circular systems to ensure they are made sustainably, plus the "waste" stays local and out of landfill and the resources remain at their highest value for longer.

We REPLACE unsustainable textiles, including a new development CircStretch textile where we have designed out toxic plastic microfibres from stretch clothing. CircStretch blends natural fibres with the world’s first Cradle To Cradle® Products Innovation Institute Gold Level Material Health Certified elastane yarn that is also Certified by the Hohenstein Institute as 100% non-toxic as it breaks down making it safe to home compost.

Through our Circular Textile Precincts we train staff to set up our unique circular systems to provide jobs suited to the individuals skillset. We valorise and redistribute via our existing circular streams to keep 100% of the jobs and resources onshore.

Our Circular Textile Waste Service can collect unwearable and unusable garment and textile waste to reuse, repair, redesign and repurpose through four main circular textile systems. Work with us to create circular design systems to inspire your customers and become circular industry leaders.

From the fabric choice to the fasteners and clever construction, all components come together to create high quality and long lasting garments.

With experience working with top Australian Swimwear labels, we have a wealth of knowledge and the skills to bring your swimwear label to life. Luxury Swimwear, that is manufactured with care in Australia is our main focus and passion!
Product Development - Do you have a design idea you want brought to life? We can develop your ideas from sketch, photo, sample… (even a verbal description!) and transform them into tangible products.

MIRRARME, a virtual try-on service that allows customers to see themselves in the latest fashion from online retailers.

Firstly we convert a retailers clothing into 3D, via a process called photogrammetry. Retailers simply send us images of their clothing, which we covert with our AI into a 3D model. With this tech, we are able to remove the mannequin or models from the images to leave a perfect 3D mirror of the clothing.

Secondly, via our app, we create a 3D mirror model of the client from a single headshot and a couple of measurements. Within 45 seconds, the client has a mirror model of themselves with the added benefit of calculating the best fit, based on the fashion retailers sizing guidelines.

Finally, the client selects the 3D clothing from the online store and the MIRRARME app opens to show both the client and clothing in 3D. We then take it a step further with AR for a full 360 view, where the client can walk around the mirror model of themselves and see the clothing from every angle. Providing a personalized shopping experience.

Whilst no one can fully replicate the in-store try-on experience, MIRRARME goes pretty close.
