At Natalie Begg, our focus is on producing beautiful, well-crafted and long-lasting garments that look beautiful for years to come. We operate in a responsible and ethical manner in all areas of our business and give back to the environment and the people we work with.

All Natalie Begg garments, including our wireless bras, have been Australian-made since 2000. While one of our previous bra designs had some offshore-crafted elements, we have since discontinued that style. We are in the process of setting up local manufacturing to produce all our bras entirely in Australia.

Our knitwear range is created in partnership with a team of local Victorian women. We are 100% committed to keeping this Australian heritage alive and supporting local farmers, local manufactures and artisans, whilst delivering an enduring, sustainable product.

At Natalie Begg, we work with the highest-quality, sustainable natural fibres that we can source. Natural fibres are better for the environment as they biodegrade more quickly than synthetics, do not release dangerous chemicals into your body, via your skin, or nanofibres into the ecosystem. Our long-term focus is preserving our planet and your health. We produce luxurious products that are timeless and you will treasure. We are proud to be part of the slow-fashion movement.

Our silks carry a dense weight that drapes beautifully and has a soft handle. Silk is nature’s strongest fibre and will keep its shape and repel dirt if you follow the care instructions. Minimal washing and ironing is required, saving water and the environment.

Our alternative to 100% silk is a silk/wool blend made from local Australian wool and 100% natural imported silk. Silk/wool acclimatizes to your body in any temperature meaning it keeps you warm in cooler climates and keeps you cool in warmer temperatures. Silk/wool provides all the lustrous feel and beautiful drape of high-quality natural silk with the added benefit of warmth and resilience of wool. Please 

Please be aware of brands that claim their silk is 100%. While some silks are pure, others are chemically treated. These treatments, which are often used to achieve certain properties like wrinkle resistance, can compromise the garment's natural composition and even make it less than "100% silk." For instance, a fabric marketed as "iron-free silk" has been treated with chemicals to prevent wrinkles. These finishes are part of a broader trend in the fashion industry where chemical additives are used to enhance performance, often with hidden health and environmental costs

Hand-painted silk uses less water and ink (less than one cup per metre), making it a more sustainable option than any other printing method. At Natalie Begg we hand mix our dyes in house. The dyes we choose balance environmental sustainability with our ability to provide colour vibrancy and longevity. If you would prefer your Natalie Begg garment to use purely eco-friendly paints, please contact us directly.

A select number of garments are crafted from digital prints based on original Natalie Begg paintings.

The Natalie Begg knitwear collection uses merino and alpaca wool from local Victorian farms. The wool is processed in Victoria and spun by hand by local artisans. A number of our laces and silks are sourced from expert manufacturers overseas, which allow us to provide the highest quality fabrics to our clients. We source accessories from local suppliers.

At Natalie Begg, every piece of fabric is repurposed to reduce waste. Excess silk is transformed into scarves and garment bags, while smaller pieces are reused as binding for knitting, hair accessories, underwear and quilted jackets. Any remaining textile waste is donated to UPParel, ensuring nothing ends up in landfill. We are committed to a truly circular approach to fashion production.

As part of our commitment to a more sustainable future, we will repair any of your Natalie Begg garments free of charge to ensure longevity. We are passionate about delivering a well-crafted garment that you’ll love forever.

In keeping with our mission to promote sustainability, majority of  Natalie Begg garments are wrapped in recycled tissue paper and shipped in recycled DHL satchels. Shipments to the US are shipped in clear plastic to prevent DHL opening every package and touching your items. DHL implemented this protocol in 2025 and we are currently sourcing a clear packing option that is environmentally friendly. 

Wherever you can, please shop local. It reduces carbon footprint and supports communities and small business.

With our focus on long-term, sustainable growth we take responsibility for operating a business and maintaining a supply chain that respects the planet, animals and your body. This is achieved through regular social audits and our continual commitment to circular solutions. Follow us on social media for regular updates on how we achieve this in our day-to-day manufacturing.
