The Coast denim company

- LAURA NELSON

A TAMBORINE Mountain company that saw sales soar when Meghan Markle wore their denim jeans has received a prestigiou­s award for ethical fashion.

Outland Denim has been graded an A+ in all five criteria of the prestigiou­s 2019 Ethical Fashion Report, published by Baptist World Aid – an internatio­nal aid and developmen­t organisati­on operating in 25 countries.

Last year, Outland made internatio­nal headlines when the Duchess of Sussex wore a pair of its black denim jeans during the royal tour Down Under. Traffic on the company’s website exploded by 3000 per cent and the company has since been making inroads into the Australian and UK markets.

Outland Denim’s jeans are manufactur­ed in Cambodia by women who have escaped traffickin­g, exploitati­on, are extremely poor or have a disability.
