Information
Wool from non-mulesed sheep
This company sources its merino wool from Glenwood Merinos in NSW, run by fifth generation Merino farmers. Glenwood have not mulesed any animals since 2005.
Use of non-mulesed wool
Brands owned by this company are listed in Human Society International Australia's Better Wool Guide as having a commitment to phasing out mulesed wool but with no timeline or certification scheme specified. Mulesing is the controversial practice of removing strips of the skin of a lamb's rear and is often done without pain relief. In Australia, the only country where mulesing still occurs, an estimated 10 million merino lambs are subjected to mulesing each year - equivalent to 19 lambs per minute.
Previous ethical clothing australia accreditation
This company was previously accredited and licensed to display the 'Ethical Clothing Australia' Trade Mark on their Australian-made garments, which ensures Australian workers receive fair wages and decent conditions.
