A Day At the Beach
Australia’s summer is here and that means long days on the beach sun tanning, surfing and even perhaps, snorkelling.
And no one attempts this highlight of the year without a stunning beach outfit or two. And all the bits and pieces that go with that, like sunglasses, hats, and towels.
Let’s see what Local Threads has for you this summer. Our platform supports local Australian eco-friendly brands whose creators are committed to creating sustainable and ethical clothing. So, if you buy from us, you are supporting stunning products proudly designed and marketed in Australia. You’ll also be doing your bit for the environment.
