(Tamborine Mountain, Queensland, Australia – with production in Kampong Cham and Phnom Penh, Cambodia) Founded by James Bartle in 2016, Outland Denim is a small business producing high-quality denim clothing while upholding revolutionary social and environmental standards. Outland offers a full range of styles for men and women — including jeans, shorts, jackets, and other denim-based apparel — all crafted with sustainability and ethics at their core.
In their own words:
“We are about #DenimForFreedom. We have a unique business model designed to create a cycle of empowerment for those in need. We provide opportunity and a safe and supportive working environment, a living wage, training, health care, and education to people who have experienced or are at risk of experiencing modern slavery, exploitation, or abuse. Outland Denim is so much more than a denim company.”
Outland Denim’s role in changing the world is realized through life-changing employment opportunities for survivors of exploitation, contributing directly to their healing and reintegration into society. Their production facilities in Cambodia are built specifically to achieve this social mission, hiring, paying, and treating employees with dignity, fairness, and long-term support.
