What It Means for Birds on Bikes and You

We have some exciting news to share with our wonderful community of cyclists and supporters! Birds on Bikes has officially received Ethical Clothing Australia (ECA) accreditation. This prestigious certification is a testament to our unwavering commitment to ethical manufacturing practices, and we couldn't be more thrilled to share what this means for our brand and for you, our valued customers.

Why Ethical Clothing Australia Accreditation Matters

Ethical Clothing Australia is an organisation dedicated to ensuring that Australian textile, clothing, and footwear businesses uphold fair and ethical labor practices. This accreditation guarantees that every garment produced by Birds on Bikes is made under fair conditions, including:

• Fair Wages: All workers involved in the production of our clothing are paid fairly for their hard work and dedication.
• Safe Working Conditions: We prioritise creating a safe and healthy working environment for our entire team.
• No Exploitation: Our supply chain is free from any form of exploitation, ensuring that our products are ethically produced from start to finish.

By choosing Birds on Bikes, you are not only investing in high-quality cycling apparel but also supporting fair labor practices and contributing to a more ethical fashion industry.

The Benefits of Buying Local

Our ECA accreditation is just one of the many reasons to buy local. Here are a few more:

• Supporting Local Jobs: Every purchase helps sustain jobs in our Brisbane community, fostering local economic growth and stability.
• Quality You Can Trust: Australian-made products are synonymous with superior craftsmanship and materials, ensuring you get the best.
• Eco-Friendly Production: Local manufacturing reduces our carbon footprint, making our products more sustainable.
• Community Impact: Your support helps us give back to the community through various initiatives and programs.

Our Journey Towards Ethical Manufacturing

At Birds on Bikes, our journey towards ethical manufacturing has been a deeply rewarding one. We transitioned from a home-based business to our current in-house production facility in Brisbane, operating under the trading name Ethical Edge Collective. This move has allowed us to maintain complete control over our manufacturing processes, ensuring that every product meets our high standards of quality and ethics.
