Make way for Marlo by Marlo – the eponymous label from Sydney designer Marlo Grover, which not only aims to empower the women who wear it, but also women in small business around the country. A percentage from each garment sold will be contributed each year to an Australian fund that provides grants and support to women launching and leading small businesses. The female-led label launched this year, with every piece from the debut collection Release 1 dreamed, designed, patterned, cut and sewn in Sydney. Half of the pieces are dedicated made-to-order garments in a bid to reduce excess stock, minimise wastage and avoid landfill, while the remaining half will be produced in small batches and limited sizes to avoid over-production.

Around 90 percent of the debut range is cut from natural fibres, which means a long lifespan while also breaking down naturally at the end of its use. Linen makes a welcome appearance in Marlo by Marlo favourites such as the Cuffed Linen Tea Dress, the Carefree Linen Wrap Skirt and the Linen Tie Back Top. Head online to browse the entire launch collection before having your selections wrapped in compostable, recyclable and acid-free packaging with 100 percent carbon-neutral shipping.
