Big congratulations are in order for homegrown fashion label Manning Cartell, the latest Aussie brand to achieve accreditation from Ethical Clothing Australia (ECA). The label has a strong commitment to manufacturing locally, and where they do have to manufacture offshore, the designers visit the factories themselves to ensure ethical standards are met. Founded by sisters Cheryl, Vanessa and Gabrielle, Manning Cartell has been turning heads since they launched in 2005, with a long list of celebrity fans and over 60 boutique stockists worldwide. They now join other ethically accredited Aussie brands like Cue, Collette Dinnigan, Bianca Spender and Ginger & Smart!
