Over a decade ago, Nick Savaidis founded Melbourne-based Etiko, the ethical, fair-trading, vegan and organic-focused Australian clothing brand. Now, Etiko is hosting its first-ever pop-up shop in the South Melbourne Markets from September 6 - 17. With products ranging from printed t-shirts to hoodies to shoes for both men and women, there's quite the diverse range of products available.
What makes Etiko unique is that it makes 100% sure that all of its products are created in fair and ethical methods, whilst also giving back to the communities whose livelihood relies on the clothing industry. Here, you're getting more than just some threads, footwear or a sporting ball. With their already-existing fair trade models with factories in India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, your purchases also assists workers with lessening risk and vulnerability, and improving household income, which ultimately helps break their cycles of poverty.
Opening times are Wednesdays (8am - 4pm), Fridays (8am - 5pm), Saturdays (8am - 4pm) and Sundays (8am - 4pm).
