Clothing The Gaps
Clothing The Gaps is a certified Aboriginal Victorian Aboriginal social enterprise and B-Corp streetwear label based on Wurundjeri Country. The brand is managed by health professionals and produces merch with a message that aims to unite Indigenous and non-Indigenous people through fashion and cause.
The label name is a play on the Australian Government's "Closing the Gap" initiative, to help close the life expectancy gap between Aboriginal people and non-Indigenous Australians.
Clothing The Gaps encourage people to wear their values on their tee, so they can spark conversations that support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Mob) Communities and causes.
Clothing The Gaps was also the very first brand to come on board with Mates Rates!

It's more than a tee, it's a conversation starter.
Clothing The Gaps is a Victorian Aboriginal led and controlled, and majority Aboriginal owned social enterprise, co-founded by Laura Thompson (Gunditjmara) and Sarah Sheridan (non-Indigenous).
Based in Melbourne/ Narrm, Clothing The Gaps make clothes with their mob in their heart and everyone in mind. They label their clothes Ally Friendly and Mob Only because everyone was asking “Can I wear that?”.
Clothing The Gaps is certified as a Victorian Aboriginal business with Kinaway Chamber of Commerce Victoria and certified as an Aboriginal business with Supply Nation. They hold an Ethical Clothing Australia accreditation, and became a certified B Corporation in 2022.
