CleanLife has a new team member - Lilian Joy! Born on the 9th August 2007 at home in the bath, weighing 3.650kg (8lb 1oz). She is a much loved addition to Gina and Tony's family. So here are a couple of photos of Lily in her organic bodysuit laying on a rug crocheted by Tony's mum out of Organic Merino Wool from Ecoyarns. You'll also see Lily (and Gina) wearing an organic hugabub - the cosiest way to carry your bub! In fact we are wearing it right now!

Ethical Threads - Style with Soul

Green fashion for the planet............................


Perth has a fantastic new Ethical fashion store, the CleanLife team think it is uber cool, so we’ve asked the owners Angus and Clarissa to tell us a little about themselves, their concept and their ethos.. Read on……………..

Greetings!

We have just opened an ethical clothing and accessories store called Ethical Threads in Subiaco, Perth. The concept is a first for Australia and we are very proud to have Perth at the forefront of this new clothing revolution.

Our shop is based on a broad ethical platform with an underlying philosophy of Sweatshop free, Fair Trade and environmentally-responsible practices.

We stock mainly clothing for both men and women made from sustainable fibres (hemp, organic cotton and bamboo) and recycled fabrics. However, we also carry bags and shoes made of hemp and recycled products, belts and jewellery from recycled products and vegan friendly shoes.

Many of our eco-conscious suppliers also use solar power, dye with vegetable inks, recycle their waste, or have committed themselves to being a carbon neutral company.

Ethical Threads is all about bringing conscious consumerism to the mainstream and showing that sustainability can have style! We have done the hard work for you and have sourced the very best ethical fashion from around the world. So join us in being part of the solution and in using the most powerful tool we have to change the world – consumer choice.

We, both as a business and in our personal lives, strive to ‘walk the talk’. We want to make our contribution count and will always be evolving and expanding upon both our ideals and our products.If you are interested in getting more information on what we're all about and some background on the philosophy of our store please visit our website at

Stay true & happy,
Clarissa & Angus.
