Frske

Australia

Frske is an Australian womenswear label offering relaxed-fit jackets, pants, vests, shirts, tops and dresses. Its design draws on Japanese minimalism and French casual style, with attention to practical details such as pocket placement, hem length and elasticised waistbands. The label designs individual pieces rather than seasonal collections, aiming for garments that layer and last. All Frske clothing is produced in Melbourne in small runs with local makers and suppliers, and the brand carries the Australian Made kangaroo logo. It uses only natural fibres such as linen, cotton and wool, avoids petrochemical synthetics, and sometimes uses deadstock fabric from other fashion houses. Offcuts are donated to a local textile community group. Good On You rates Frske Good overall, scoring it 4 out of 5 for Planet, 3 for People and 4 for Animals. It notes the brand's organic cotton use, limited production runs and local manufacturing, while finding no evidence of a Code of Conduct, living wage commitments or packaging reduction.
