ABOUT

Established in 2003, RANT has always been pushing the boundaries of fashion and developing a unique aesthetic.

Owner-designer Sarah Garrett-Hodoniczky has always had a love for natural fibres and supporting local manufacturing. After 18 years of championing and producing ethical and sustainable fashion in Australia, we are now witnessing the global rise in fashion ethics. The world is changing and the standards for fashion are changing as well.

Local production, and only local.

Our core values are quite simply: local, sustainable and ethical. All of our clothes are made within 30 kms of our home studio in Brisbane, and are 100% Australian made, no exceptions. With a small team of sewers, some who have been working with us for over 10 years, and working from their own home studio just like us! All of our makers are paid above the Australian award which is one of the highest in the world for textile workers, and producing locally means our makers can expect the same standards of living that we expect ourselves, this essentially being at the heart of ethical practices we think.

Sustainability has always been in the forefront of our mind. Even back in 2003, before the foreboding climate statistics and record levels of waste, Sarah saw the folly of fast fashion that has now become so widespread. Our goal when producing a RANT garment is to have it made from high quality natural and renewable fibres, and made to last for years to come. We prewash many styles in our harvested rainwater, source the majority of power from solar, and strive towards zero waste as part of our sustainable production also.

Home grown family business.

Our home studio is fully operated by family: Sarah, her husband Jason, and their son Dakotah. When you call or email you will always speak to one of them, so feel confident contacting us as with any enquiry, receiving a quick, honest response and often naturally ending up in a bit of a RANT !
