With the situation in Melbourne not improving, we may need to start wearing face masks in NSW when we’re not able to distance from others. If you’re in the market for a mask, Sophia Morris has rounded up a few ethical options that are Australian-made.
1. Buy handmade.
Etsy is a great place to look for a mask, with sellers making their own out of colourful fabrics. Make sure to set the shop location to Australia so you don’t pay international shipping.
2. Buy ethical
Clothing company The Ark is selling ethically made masks in packs of five.
3. Buy local.
Local brand Nya has turned their fabric scraps into masks for adults and kids.
4. Buy practical.
Clear Collective is an Aussie company that started making masks in response to the pollution from the recent bushfires. They’re available in a range of sizes and patterns.
