SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES

CRAFTSMANSHIP AND DURABILITY

DESIGN
MORO IS DESIGNED SOLELY BY CHRISTOPHER MORO, WHO IS CURRENTLY BASED IN AUSTRALIA.   MORO CREATES LUXURY PRODUCTS THAT ARE DESIGNED TO BE TREASURED.  INNOVATION AND EXPLORATION THROUGH UNIQUE DESIGN RESTORES AN IDEA OF PRECIOUSNESS - THE OPPOSITE OF DISPOSABILITY.

WE CELEBRATE CRAFTSMANSHIP AND UPHOLD HIGH STANDARDS WITH SKILLED ARTISANAL EXPERTS.

PATTERNMAKING / PROTOTYPING
EACH AND EVERY DESIGN HAS BEEN PATTERN-MADE LOCALLY BY SWIMWEAR EXPERTS SUPPORTING THE AUSTRALIAN ECONOMY.  THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS FITTINGS OF PROTOTYPES ON MODELS TO DEVELOP THE STYLES AND PRODUCTS ALONG THE WAY.

PRODUCTION
MORO FOCUSES ON CREATING BETTER PRODUCTS IN SMALLER QUANTITIES AND AIMS TO FIND WHERE SUPPLY EQUALS DEMAND TO AVOID WASTAGE AND OVER PRODUCTION.  ALL SWIMWEAR PRODUCTS ARE MADE IN AUSTRALIA BY SWIMWEAR EXPERTS.  OTHER PRODUCTS CREATED ARE STATED OTHERWISE.

FABRIC MILLS
MORO SOURCES UNIQUE FABRICS FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE, PREDOMINANTLY ITALY WHICH CREATE THE LATEST IN NEW SUSTAINABLE FABRICS.  WE HAVE INCORPORATED REGENERATED NYLON WASTE SOURCED FROM ‘ECONYL’ INTO SOME PRODUCTS.

FABRIC TREATMENTS
FABRICS CAN RECEIVE MANIPULATED TREATMENT SUCH AS PRINT AND OTHER TECHNIQUES.  THESE FABRIC MANIPULATIONS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED USING LOCAL AUSTRALIAN BUSINESS WHICH ARE MONITORED FOR ETHICAL PRACTICES.  

HARDWARE / ACCESSORIES / TRIMS
THE HARDWARE AND ACCESSORIES HAVE BEEN SOURCED FROM ETHICALLY SUSTAINABLE FACTORIES BASED IN CHINA.  THESE FACTORIES HAVE THE OEKO-TEX-100 AND I.T.S TEST WHICH TEST FOR HARMFUL SUBSTANCES STANDING FOR CUSTOMER CONFIDENCE AND HIGH PRODUCT SAFETY.  MORE INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND AT WWW.OEKO-TEX.COM.

FACTORIES
CURRENTLY, ALL OF OUR PRODUCTS ARE MADE IN AUSTRALIAN FACTORIES.  THESE FACTORIES ARE REGULARLY VISITED TO ENSURE THE WORKERS ARE PRODUCING PRODUCTS IN A SAFE WORKING ENVIRONMENT.

PACKAGING
PACKAGING MAINLY CONSISTS OR CARDBOARD, TISSUE PAPER AND PAPER.  THEY ARE POSTED IN RECYCLED DISPOSABLE COMPOST SHIPPING BAGS.  AS A SMALL BUSINESS - WE AIM TO USE AS MUCH RECYCLABLE MATERIAL WHERE POSSIBLE REDUCING THE IMPACT ON THE EARTH.
