manufacturing
made in Australia
Community support is at the heart of byfreer's ethos, and we take pride in collaborating with exceptional local, small-scale makers and manufacturers here in Australia. Our commitment to keeping production close to home means that 90% of our pieces are not only designed in our Paddington workshop but also crafted right here in Sydney.
This proximity to our community ensures that each and every byfreer piece upholds the quality and ethos integral to our label: slow, high-quality, considered fashion.
the candy shop
upon the recent retirement of one of our longtime makers, we opened up our own small manufacturing facility in Marrickville, Sydney. operating our own in-house production provides us with an opportunity to reduce our impact in transporting garments across Sydney, as well upholding our quality and standard of our byfreer pieces.
made in China
byfreer's knitwear is made in China as knitwear manufacturing in Australia is limited (due to machinery and demand). Like all our byfreer garments, the design process begins in our Paddington workshop, and is developed and manufactured with our overseas suppliers.
We work closely with our makers to ensure all our knitwear embodies the byfreer ethos and values, and stands the test of time, and seasons to come.
