A small Kiwi business based in Burswood which makes organic cotton garments has been short-listed in two categories for its ethically-made items in the Australian Clean + Conscious Awards.
The New Zealand-owned family business Paul & Paulie rebranded its business with the assistance of a business coach and chose to enter the awards.
Two of the company’s new garments, the organic cotton natural pointelle bodysuit and baby blanket were selected as one of the top five finalists in the best baby apparel and best baby sleep categories, from more than 400 applicants from New Zealand and Australia.
“This is great validation for us as a small Kiwi business that it is worth the hard work and commitment in the long run,” said Paul & Paulie designer and director Rachel Emmanuel.
Using ethical, responsible and sustainable practices, I take inspiration for my sketches from the natural beauty of New Zealand.
“I design clothing made from 100 per cent organic Indian cotton to look after you, your precious little one, the planet and our future.
“Each creation is a labour of love that I am enormously proud of.
“The Paul & Paulie evolution combines the love and family ties of our two countries, New Zealand and India.”
