Clothing the Gaps: Cultural Icebreakers, T-Shirts Are Awesome
The name "Clothing the Gaps" is derived from the Australian government's Aboriginal health initiative "Closing the Gap".
The goal of this initiative is to reduce the life expectancy gap between local Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people.
"Clothing the Gaps" hopes to support aboriginal culture through the power of clothing and fashion.
At its most basic, Clothing the Gaps' members are mostly Aboriginal, allowing people who understand their own culture to convey their message through design; its local manufacturing has also been certified as ethical clothing in Australia.
In addition, Clothing the Gaps provides additional support for non-Aboriginal consumers as a company that aims to open dialogue on Aboriginal culture.
We often get inquiries like, "I'm not Aboriginal, but I love your products. I want to support Aboriginal people, but I don't want to offend anyone."
To this end, the company has added the label "Ally Friendly" or "Mob Only" on the product page. The former means that non-Aboriginal people can buy to support aboriginal culture, while the latter means that the product is only suitable for aboriginal people to buy and wear.
According to Clothing the Gaps, T-shirts with aboriginal cultural elements are a good icebreaker and bring more attention to the aboriginal people.
When the conversation starts, there must be content.
Therefore, Clothing the Gaps' website is also like a small learning resource library, providing more learning materials about Aboriginal people and providing support for those who are willing to discuss.
In addition to the product itself, Clothing the Gaps will also use the proceeds to initiate and support various Aboriginal activities.
