OUR VALUES

Cor is slow fashion that gets your heart racing. We’re not here to produce throwaway pieces you’ll love for a season and then forget about. We’re here to forge moments you’ll remember forever, in durable, comfortable clothes to treasure. 

Each pattern begins its life as an original painting by our founder Jaz. We use digital printing to take her paintings from the canvas to the cloth, which helps us capture the movement and feeling of each brush stroke. 

Toxic chemicals have become a standard part of the production process within the mainstream garment industry, especially fast fashion. We work closely with our suppliers to source natural, low impact fabrics free of harsh and destructive chemicals (both for your clothes and your skin!). To prevent harmful chemicals entering our waterways, we intentionally focus on digitally printing our fabrics rather than using  traditional printing methods such as block or screen printing. 

Every garment in the fashion industry passes through the hands of a maker at some, if not all stages, but most are mass produced without consideration for fit, comfort or durability. Every original Cor design is drawn and cut by hand (our hands!). Our prototypes go through multiple review stages to ensure we’ve created a classic fit that will compliment anyone who slips their self inside. 

All our pieces are made in an ethical cut, make, and trim facility by a team of garment workers –  80% of which are women. All are paid a living wage, pension fund (superannuation equivalent), paid holiday leave, sick pay, medical insurance and overtime pay. You wouldn’t work for minimum wage, and neither should our garment makers. 

70% of a company’s environmental impact happens at a raw material level. Our mission is to exclusively use responsibly sourced fabrics that are sustainable for our planet. Our current library of fabrics include Eco Rayon, Linen and GOTS certified organic cotton. Read more about these fabrics and the stories behind them on our sustainability page. 

Sustainability is built into every stage of our process, from the initial sketch to the final stretch (mailing your goodies to you). Our intention is to create joyful clothing that lasts your lifetime and is passed onto wardrobes beyond yours – like a ripple effect of joy. 

We respectfully acknowledge the The Arakwal People of The Bundjalung Nation, the rightful custodians of the land on which we live and work on today. We acknowledge their long standing artistic traditions on this land, and pay our respect and gratitude to elders past, present and future.
