ABOUT OCC APPAREL

Ethical apparel specialists since 2004.

We supply ethically accredited blank apparel, decorate it locally or manufacture it offshore, and manage it as a long-term program for organisations across Australia, New Zealand and the United States.

An ethical apparel supplier for Australian organisations

OCC Apparel is an ethical apparel supplier for organisations across Australia. We supply certified blank garments, decorate them locally, manufacture custom styles offshore and hold stock for reorders. Most of our clients order every season, so we plan with them for the long term.

We have offices and showrooms in Currumbin on the Gold Coast and Marrickville in Sydney, open by appointment. Melbourne is our biggest market, and we deliver there and to every other Australian city daily.

  • One team for garments, decoration, finishing and delivery

  • Stock held for you with our logistics partner for fast reorders

Quality. People. Honesty.

OCC Apparel was established in 2004 by ethical, sustainable and organic apparel specialists. We supply accredited blank apparel from stock for clients to relabel and decorate under their own brand, in 100% organic cotton, recycled fibres and blends.

When a stock garment isn’t right, we manufacture it offshore with ethically accredited factory partners, then decorate and deliver it. Local and offshore production are matched to your timeline and target price.

“Our key principles are Quality, People & Honesty.” — Nick Barclay, Managing Director
