Our Commitment

Prudie & Primmie is our fresh take on children’s wear in a market where the balance between quality and style is often compromised.

We aim for our garments to be gender-inclusive in design, sustainably sourced and ethically produced. Made in small batches and designed to be passed on and loved again.

Sustainable and Ethical Childrenswear

We understand that as a customer, you want to know the origin of your child’s clothing. To create timeless, fuss-free pieces, in Collection 1 we have partnered with a boutique, female-owned factory in the National Capital Region of India and Collection 2 is produced by a female-owned factory in Dongguan City, China. Both partners allow us to produce low quantities made by hand, to a very high quality.

We value our relationship with our suppliers and pride ourselves on making beautiful exclusive pieces using high quality materials and fabrics, whilst being ethically and sustainably made.
Production is a lengthy process and we spend months designing our pieces from start to finish. We want to share the story of how we produce our pieces, to give you greater peace of mind about where your child’s clothing comes from.

SUPPORTING WORKERS
Our production partners pay above award wages to their workers whose hours are capped at 8 hours of duty per day, and are represented by labour unions to ensure their rights and safety are protected.

COMMUNITY ADVOCACY
Our partners prioritise hiring from the local community, offering stable employment opportunities and skill-building programs that benefit their families. They also give back by training women from underprivileged backgrounds on the use of sewing machines, helping them gain industry insight, perfect their craft, and develop the skills needed to earn a living - empowering them to have a voice and take control of their independence.

QUALITY + SAFETY
All of our pieces undergo quality control checks to ensure they’re free from defects and adhere to Australian children's apparel product safety guidelines.

SOURCING + WASTE REDUCTION
When new fabric is manufactured, it leaves behind a significant carbon footprint. The fabrics we use are sourced as excess fabrics from mills. This way, the mills don’t have to make new fabrics, and the excess fabric is being put to good use instead of thrown away. 
When fabrics are being cut according to a specific pattern, sometimes there are scraps that can’t be included in the garment. These scraps are sent to pillow manufacturers, so they can be minced and made into cushion filling.

FABRIC DYEING
Most commercial fabric dyes contain lead. We use only azo-free dyes, free from carcinogens. The fabrics are only air dried and not subject to any artificial drying processes, to avoid further carbon emissions. With the small quantity, handmade nature of our garments, there may be irregularities in colour and make, which is part of the process. 

OUR PACKAGING
A final note about our packaging. As avid online shoppers ourselves, we found that after a while, breaking down cardboard boxes gets tiring! This is why Prudie & Primmie pieces are shipped in 100% compostable mailer bags, and our tissue, stickers, thank you cards and hang tags are also 100% recyclable and compostable.
