“I love fashion and the way it makes me feel, as its our chosen skin, madre natura was born through the year of the coronavirus pandemic and it only amplified my vision for an optimistic future. The pandemic has hit everyone in some way, as we veered towards economic collapse, worrying about our health, jobs, savings and humanity’s future. These past two years have also been a great time for a reset when it comes to our consumption habits.

Present-day consumption was thrown into focus when the devastating Rana Plaza collapse in 2013 had a huge impact on the fast fashion industry. It was an eye-opener for the public to understand the true impacts they were having on our fellow humans and this showcased ‘over consumption’ and horrible human labour exploitation. At madre natura, we focused on systemic changes towards sustainability as conventional fast fashion is in a state of crisis. Advocating circularity by addressing the elephant in the room ’consumption’.

Our solution is to promote and increase the focus on the quality, durability and longevity of our garments with our mn_Circular program. As well as with a strong focus on manufacturing in Australia and being transparent. We strive to rebuild the connection between our makers and the materials for the consumer to understand what is required to produce our garments. At madre natura, we hope to remove the negativity around fashion and create a positive change”. Jackie Galleghan - Founder, Creative Director & Head of Sustainability.
