Sinerji is an eco-label designed on the Sunshine Coast and made using organic natural fibres, non-toxic dyes, and fairtrade partnerships.
Sinerji produces patterns in Australia and travels each year to work personally with the farmers who grow the organic cotton, and the tailors who sew the garments, with two production teams in Northern Thailand and India.
Sinerji is renowned for creating fun pieces; well-shaped trousers, skirts and dresses that feel amazing, in organic natural fibres, with distinct hand-drawn illustrations that are printed using non-toxic dyes & water-based prints.
Designed to celebrate and flatter all body shapes, with integrity from pattern to garment, a passion for creativity and for storytelling, Sinerji is instantly recognisable.
Our Sinerji Makers
Who Made Your Clothes? Meet Gulshan. Gulshan handles all Finishing for Sinerji pieces made with our team in India. Gulshan is 24, & loves studying politics. She would love to one day have a career in politics. One of the things we love about working with our team is how many women are employed in safe, well-paid jobs. In India, this isn't always the case & we know from repeated studies that when women are paid well, the family & community benefit, not just the individual.⠀
As proud Fashion Revolutionaries, we love sharing a little insight into the lives of the people we work with to bring Sinerji to life. We couldn't do it without them, we are proud of our partnerships & we want to see more transparency in the Fashion Industry... connecting with the people at the other end of that garment on the rack brings meaning back. And is the only way we will improve the lives of garment workers around the world.

Our Fabric
The organic cotton fabric is grown and woven in the same area and involves several villages. Organic cotton is rain fed to ensure minimal water usage. The thread is dyed using natural, hand-harvested plant dyes, and woven in the traditional way. Hand weaving is highly skilled and creates a stunning fabric that is soft, long lasting, chemical free and durable. The network within the communities, enhances personal relationships and builds long term support networks, and allows for long term community development. A community bank has been created in the community we work with, to provide financial support to people within the community for education, health care, and extra support where needed.
As veterans of the ethical fashion movement, Sinerji continues to lead the way in making ethical, sustainable fashion that is beautiful, affordable & relevant for everyday wear.

What does fair trade mean?
In most western countries, we have laws to ensure that workers are treated fairly, and good employment conditions are upheld, and to ensure the protection of people in the workplace from injury, harm and exploitation. The principles of Fair Trade are used as a universal guide for producers in countries that do not have laws in place to protect workers from exploitation. Sinerji is an endorsed Fair Trader of Australia and a member of the Fair Trade Association and a passionate Fair Trade advocate.
The ten guiding principles of Fair Trade come under these headings:
1. Creating opportunities for economically disadvantaged producers
2. Transparency and Accountability
3. Trading Practices
4. Payment of a Fair Price
5. NO Child Labour or Forced Labour
6. Non-discrimination, Gender Equity & Freedom of Association
7. Working Conditions
8. Provide Capacity Building opportunities
9. Promotion of Fair Trade
10. Respect & care for the Environment
