Built for the Australian season calendar
Australian winter codes kick off when the northern hemisphere is in spring, so we plan around your season and school Terms rather than ours. A sample in 15–20 working days and bulk in 2–3 weeks means an order placed 8–10 weeks before round one arrives with time to spare.

Gym and activewear brands use us for sports bras, leggings, 2-in-1 shorts and tanks from 30 pieces per style, with fabric and GSM shown on every quote.
