Design
Every detail begins with care; for our community, our planet, and the longevity of what we create.
From fabric selection and trims to printing techniques and construction standards, each decision reflects CMNTY GRDN’s commitment to responsible design. We prioritise materials that tread lightly, choosing natural fibres, recycled fabrics, and deadstock that might otherwise go to waste.
Even the smallet elements are considered; our brand, size and care labels are made with 100% cotton.
Responsibly manufactured in both Australia and China, every piece is a reflection of our ongoing effort to do better; thoughtfully, transparently and with purpose.
Packaging
Our commitment to thoughtful production extends to every layer; including how your order arrives. At CMNTY GRDN, we are constantly exploring better ways to reduce our environmental impact, beginning with the packaging we choose to use, or not use.
Orders are wrapped in 99% recycled tissue paper and packed into Australian made 99.9% recycled cardboard mailers; both recyclable and home-compostable. Our sealing tape is made from 100% recycled paper, certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), and can be composted or placed in curbside recycling. Our hangtags are made from paper and cotton card, and our postcards are made in from 100% recycled paper, printed with vegetable inks.
We encourage our community to reuse packaging where possible; whether wrapping a gift, shipping a return, or giving materials a second life. Our swimwear hygiene liners are also plastic-free, made from wood pulp and a commercially compostable adhesive.

Product Care
We design with intention; but the life of each piece is shaped by how it’s cared for.
At CMNTY GRDN, we believe in extending the life of your garments through conscious care. While every piece is crafted with quality and longevity in mind, we invite our community to adopt gentle habits that support durability and reduce unnecessary waste.
Start with spot cleaning when possible, and wash only when truly needed. We recommend cold hand washing and line drying in the shade to preserve fabric integrity and minimise water and energy use. Avoid hot water, tumble drying, and harsh chemical detergents.
We also encourage mending or repairing your pieces instead of discarding them — small acts that help keep clothing in circulation and out of landfill.
Together, these quiet choices make a meaningful difference.
