Meanwhile, Somewhere in Wild Tasmania...

Umm, errr - I really should have a proper website by now...

The truth is, I enjoy the experience of meeting so many lovely people at my Salamanca Market stall in nipaluna/Hobart (who visit from all around the world). It's enough.

Speaking of which:

MY NEXT TRADING DAY WILL BE: SATURDAY, 28th of SEPTEMBER 2024 (8:30am to 3pm) @ site 89

(opposite The Supreme Court @ the Davey St end of the market / beneath the brooding gaze of kunanyi/Mt Wellington).

...anyways, in the meantime, here are some words arranged on a screen for anyone that might be interested.

Thanks for stopping by,

Anthony.

Tell Me More

Drawn Under a Mountain is a small design and clothing business (established by me, Anthony Edmunds) striving to do some creative good in the world.

I do this via sustainable, ethical practices and by supporting charities and organisations that share my environmental, humanitarian and animal justice values. I refuse to deal with clothing manufacturers that profit from modern-day slavery (unfortunately, here in Australia they are ubiquitous).

From my home based studio in West Hobart (and at Salamanca Market) I design, print and sell limited-run, GOTS certified organic & Fair Wear audited t-shirts & totes (sourced from my world leading ethical supplier, Stanley/Stella).

My inspirations are broad (having globe-trotted this planet more than I should have…) but, the quirks of lutruwita/Tasmania, environmental issues, animal justice and the human condition always rise to the fore. A deep love of Japanese visual culture occasionally gets my synapses firing too (a love formed over many years and many visits) ツ.

Hmm, so it sounds like I've drawn inspiration from beneath two different mountains (kunanyi & Fujiyama). This is all beginning to make some sense to me now...

Despite multiple increases to the cost of producing my stock, my prices remain the same as they were in 2021 (BTW I've increased my charitable contributions too)👍.

Once your order has been finalised via email contact, a secure payment link will be sent to you via my Square account. I accept all major cards and Afterpay.

SOCIAL MEDIA?
Nope, I prefer to steer clear of that mindfuckery.

Sustainability & Ethics

Everything in the 'Drawn Under a Mountain world' has been designed and crafted by me (in line with my heartfelt intention to harm less). Consequently, I’m solely responsible for every aspect of my business (and my business’s footprint). I take this seriously, and am continually striving to do things better.

Here are ten random examples of how I implement sustainable and ethical practices into Drawn Under a Mountain:

  1. The exclusive use of Stanley/Stella garments that are certified organic, Fair Wear audited and PETA Approved

  2. Printing with environmentally friendly VEGANOK & OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certified materials

  3. Waste reduction, which includes: limited and on-demand-only production processes - complimented by fastidious composting and recycling 😅

  4. Orders are packed into compostable mailers from The Better Packaging Co

  5. I receive my Stanley/Stella stock via carbon neutral delivery

  6. Being powered by a non-carbon-based energy supply in the net carbon negative state of Tasmania

  7. Managing financials with Bank Australia (a clean money bank that doesn’t invest in: fossil-fuel, live animal export, armaments, gambling or tobacco)

  8. By choosing not to deal with companies that profit from modern-day slavery (which is rampant in the fashion and textiles industry)

  9. I'm proud to operate Drawn Under a Mountain as a profit for purpose driven business (every month I give a portion of my profits to Australia's leading animal protection organisation, Animals Australia, and I'm a Dominion Movement Action Team member with FTP (Farm Transparency Project). Yes, I walk the talk and am vegan 🐰✊

10. I offset my carbon footprint via Ecologi (who plant trees & fund the world’s best climate crisis solutions)

Supply Chain

Responsible, accountable (and short) supply chains are fundamental to Drawn Under a Mountain. To help achieve this (having done way too much fashion industry rabbit-holing), I’m proud to be sourcing my t-shirts and totes exclusively from Stanley/Stella.

“Since its launch in 2012, Stanley/Stella has focused on simplicity, highlighting the essence of the garment. The driving force of its founder Jean Chabert: to break codes, to change the perception of the textile industry. To offer products that respect people, the environment and customers. To produce more authentic and more responsible clothes that you are proud to wear and sell. Pieces that initiate change in the textile industry, made in a more humane, ethical and ecological way.”

Complimentary to Drawn Under a Mountain’s values, Stanley/Stella products hold the following accreditations and certifications:

FAIR WEAR FOUNDATION
GLOBAL ORGANIC TEXTILE STANDARD (GOTS Certified)
GLOBAL RECYCLED STANDARD
OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100
ORGANIC CONTENT STANDARD
PETA APPROVED

In recognition of the deep history and culture of this island, Drawn Under a Mountain acknowledges the muwinina and palawa people - the first people, traditional owners and continuing custodians of the land upon which this business exists.
