FAQ
SUSTAINABILITY & TRANSPARENCY
WHERE ARE OUSE WORLD PRODUCTS MADE?
Ouse World is proudly designed and made in Australia, which drives our desire to support local industry and protect the beautiful country we’re so lucky to call home. Our production is divided between Sydney & Melbourne - each and every factory we work with has been carefully selected for their quality, skill and work environment.
WHAT FABRICS DOES OUSE WORLD USE TO MANUFACTURE THEIR PRODUCTS?
We employ materials and methods that are regenerative and gentle on the environment. All of our products are made from recycled and dead-stock materials that are sourced locally in Sydney, Australia. These fabrics are thoroughly sourced to be OEKO-TEX approved and certified.
JERSEY/LYCRA: 4-way stretch, Italian jersey made from Regnerated ECONYL Nylon.

YARNS: Our knitwear is made using dead-stock yarns. All knitwear off-cuts and scraps are then made into beautiful limited edition swimwear.
WHY DO YOU OFFER PRE-ORDER?

By working with local artisans and manufacturers who still use traditional craft and manufacturing methods, we maintain a symbiotic relationship with the community to ensure that our craft and heritage lives on.
