Outland Denim was founded on high ground - both ethically and geographically. Born on an Australian mountaintop and made with the makers in mind, their founder James Bartle conceived of a plan to give jobs to young women who desperately needed them circa 2011.
Outland Denim started as an avenue for victims of sexual exploitation to engage in safe, dignified employment as they rebuilt their lives, and have since widened their doors to accept employees from varying backgrounds of vulnerability and exploitation.
They support their staff using the four pillars of training, opportunity, living wages, and education. Through this approach, they have proven a sustainable career path is the key to lasting social change, both in the lives of their staff and their families and communities.
