Australian cotton weaves fashion, comfort and sustainability into cool summer style

Cotton is a natural textile and a fundamental fashion favourite in every woman’s wardrobe.

Cotton is a desert plant which loves hot, dry weather, so it is especially suited to long, hot Australian summers.

Besides being inherently durable, cotton is also soft on the skin, breathable and comfortable.

This makes cotton highly versatile as a timeless wardrobe staple, season after season, and the reason that cotton is the world’s most popular natural fibre.

Home-grown Australian brands like Sussan are committed to wearable and sustainable pieces that women reach for every day while thinking about tomorrow.

Caring for cotton: Easy Tips

Sustainability means looking after our clothes and wearing them from season to season.

Caring for your garments can ensure your favourite wardrobe pieces continue to look like new, year after year.

The good news is that cotton is easy to care for. Here are some simple ways to care for loved Australian cotton items.

• Wash with care. Wash in cold water, which is also better for the environment
• Line dry in fresh air. Avoid energy-hungry tumble drying. Besides carbon dioxide emissions, tumble drying will shrink cotton
• Iron if necessary, while the item is slightly damp to easily remove creases
• Store cotton items in a cool, dark, clean place. Ideally avoid direct sunlight as colours will fade. If possible, ensure some air circulation to avoid dampness.

From its easy care and durability, to the soft, wearable, and breathable natural fibre, there’s so much to feel good about when it comes to choosing Australian cotton.

Combining quality, style and sustainability, Sussan’s fashion-forward Australian cotton collection is crafting a way to do better while creating clothes Australian women love.
