Discover, connect and shop new and known brands from Australia’s best local independent  brands and boutiques, all in one place. 

Online fashion destination WEAR United invites consumers to shop its curated collection of emerging Australian brands, designers, and independent boutiques via  WEARunited.com.au. 

Embracing the unique Australian fashion industry and domestic designs, WEAR United is all  about shopping and supporting local, while making niche Australian brands and boutiques more visible and accessible. It's designed for fashionistas to discover new labels, styles and  retailers beyond the high street, with pieces that endure beyond fast fashion, all in one place. 

Online consumers will find womenswear, menswear, childrenswear, handcrafted accessories,  and footwear from exclusive and small brands and boutiques, as well as weekly drops of new  styles. 

The platform was designed to give emerging brands and independent boutiques a matchless  selling space to increase their reach and impact within the market. Similarly, it enables  consumers to discover, connect and buy from local Australian retailers on a broader scale. 

WEAR United founder Inés López explains, “WEAR United was created from my love of  fashion and value for independent and local Australian businesses. 

Up-and-coming brands and brick-and-mortar boutiques may not have the resources or access  to the expertise needed to refine and grow their businesses online, which limits their  potential. It's almost impossible to compete with global fashion companies as a new brand  or small boutique, and we've seen how a pandemic crippled community retailers.  

Uniting them in one place provides a better experience for retailers and customers; it’s making local – and the amazing effects of buying local, such as reduced waste and economic stimulation – largescale.” 

All pieces featured on WEAR United have been personally curated, and include the collection  of Hoss boutique, Jillian Boustred, KARMME, Hemera & Nyx, Dref by D, and Von-Röutte,  now available to shop online.  

WEAR United will continue to grow its online offering to deliver consumers the best of local  brands and boutiques.
