Idealised and birthed in Indonesia in 2022, Sabi The Label is an ethically driven fashion brand operating from Melbourne, Australia  by founder Mon Barton. Every piece is crafted by the hands of our skilled sewers, leather makers and jewellers across multiple teams spanning from Australia to Indonesia. Working collaboratively, from the design, to the pattern, to the fabric and finishes sourcing, to production, packing and sending, many hands that we personally know and respect touch your Sabi order. Our Indonesian team works on producing our technical-heavy pieces that are not sustainable to produce in Australia. And our Naarm, Melbourne teams hone in on the meticulous detail of simply yet highly unforgiving designs, working carefully with our delicate deadstock fabrics.

Rooted in the ancient philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, our designs reflect a sentimental journey home, offering thoughtfully crafted, transeasonal essentials that honor both craftsmanship and simplicity. Guided by Mon’s own values and life ethos, Sabi prioritizes conscious production and intentional consumption, inviting you to connect deeply with each piece and the people behind it.

And in an effort to celebrate the intersection of life and business, Sabi continues to embrace the ebbs and flows of the journey with an open mind, active listening, and compassion for the entire ride—leaving room for growth and expansion within this supportive community.

We clean up after ourselves

Ecommerce deliveries have a carbon footprint. That's why we support cutting-edge companies that remove carbon from the air.

Together, participating businesses have…

  • Removed thousands of tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere
  • Provided carbon-neutral shipping on more than ten million orders

Here's how it works: For every order we receive, a formula is used to calculate the estimated shipping emissions. Based on those estimates, a portion of our revenue goes to carbon removal companies that have been vetted by scientists from Carbon Direct. Those companies use that money to remove however much carbon our shipments created. Any extra funds go toward the further development of carbon removal technologies.

Companies removing our shipping emissions:

Grassroots Carbon

Grassroots Carbon helps ranchers modify land management practices to improve soil and ecological health, which captures and stores more carbon in soil.

Mast Reforestation

Mast Reforestation combines proven forestry practices with new technology to regrow healthy, resilient, climate-adapted forests lost to wildfires. Mast’s services include seed collection, seedling cultivation, reforestation services, and financing based on high-quality carbon removal credits.
