How to Care for Your Knitwear
There is nothing better than feeling cosy, wrapped up in your favorite knit sipping on warm tea. Our knits are made to last, threaded from 100% cotton to be comfortable and warm. We know they can be a little tricky to look after, so here are a few simple steps you can follow to make sure your knits last a lifetime.
Our Partnership with Thread Together
Last week the Fabrik team were honoured to spend the day volunteering at the Thread Together warehouse, packing orders and learning about the incredible mission behind the non-for-profit organisation. We donate our end of line styles and samples to Thread Together to be redistributed to those in need.

DIY - Ice Dyeing
Add some creative colour to basic clothes with this simple (and fascinating to watch) tutorial! All you need is a white garment to die, some powered dye, a drip tray and ice!
Fabrik Library
Materials are important to us as a brand, just as they are to you as consumers. We have created this library to outline the features and benefits of each material we use for our clothes and give you an insight into some of processes behind their creation.
Our Digital Printing Process
We used Okeo-Tex Passport certified inks to digitally print these garments onto beautiful linen and cotton ramie fabrics. Eco Passport is an independent certification system for chemicals, colourants and auxiliaries used in the textile industry. During a multistep process, Okeo-Tex analyse whether each individual ingredient in the chemical product meets the requirements, and that it is not harmful to human health. Both brands and manufacturers value the Eco Passport as credible proof of sustainable textile production.
From Canvas to Cloth
Nestled between Coledale's quiet beaches and the calming bush of the escapement you'll find Ash Leslie - mother, wife, artist and designer. A pool of humble talent and a true friend to Fabrik, Ash's earthy tones and beautiful compositions belong here. The journey from hand painted pieces on canvas to ethically made clothes is a first for us, and we couldn't be more excited to share the process with you.
Earth First
We believe it's important to take our environmental care values into everything we do, including how we package and send your items.
The glorious little black bags that we sent everything out in are created by Better Packaging Co. and are 100% biodegradable. The New Zealand based, Australian made brand are inspired to minimise the impact the eCommerce industry has on our planet.
A Sustainable Laundry Load
You shop only with ethical and sustainable brands, you love a good second hand find and you recycle the packaging correctly when your new piece comes in the mail, but there’s one more step you can do to minimise your impact on the environment - how you wash your clothes.
Boys Run Free - Life on the Road
Life on the road with four boys and a 16ft caravan is a dream come true for Naomi Mackie and her husband Chris in one down-to-earth Aussie family. Naomi beautifully captures a lifestyle that favours the simple with her husband Chris and their sons Sol, Nullah, Ollie and Alby. We spoke to Naomi about what inspired them to live an alternative life and how they organise everything from the setup to the wardrobe.
Odin Knit Capsule
There is no better way to keep comfortable and warm this winter than a series of knits to mix and match. The Odin knit collection features four styles with two beautiful blends to choose from. This knit capsule is made from 100% cotton to keep you cosy.
