Clothing The Gaps is a fresh and dynamic Community brand managed by health professionals that celebrates Aboriginal people and culture. We were recognised for our excellence at the 2020 Dreamtime Awards and was awarded 'Business of the year'.

We make our clothes with Mob in our heart and everyone in mind. We label our clothes Ally Friendly and Mob Only because everyone was asking “Can I wear that?”. 

We produce merch with a message and encourage people to wear their values on their tee. 

We influence and unite people through fashion and causes so that Aboriginal people and Communities can thrive.

Did you know?! Clothing The Gaps is a play on the words "Closing the Gap", which is an Australian Government health initiative to help close the life expectancy gap between Aboriginal people and non-Indigenous Australians.  

Clothing The Gaps is a Victorian Aboriginal led and controlled, and majority Aboriginal owned business and social enterprise, co-founded by Laura Thompson (Gunditjmara) and Sarah Sheridan (non-Indigenous).

Clothing The Gaps is certified as a Victorian Aboriginal business with Kinaway Chamber of Commerce Victoria and certified as an Aboriginal business with Supply Nation. 

As a Social Enterprise we are profit for purpose business and are registered and certified with Social Traders.

We became a certified B Corporation Australia in March 2022 with our first accreditation score of 123.9

We hold an Ethical Clothing Australia accreditation. See more about our locally made collection here.

Clothing The Gaps is a Member & Signatory of the Indigenous Art Code.

We become a member and signatory of Indigenous Art Code in Nov 2023 when we did our first art licensing agreement with Norm Yackaduna (Kwat Kwat, Moira & Wurundjeri) for use on the Sovereignty Never Ceded Puzzle.

This means we are committed to fair and ethical trade with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists, and transparency in the promotion and sale of artwork. As a Dealer Member and signatory to the Code we must act fairly, honestly, professionally and in good conscience in all direct or indirect dealings with artists.
