To put it simply, Australia is burning. The land down under is currently experiencing some of the worst fires in its history – Victoria has been declared a state of disaster, New South Wales a state of emergency, 23 people have been killed, six are still missing, 13 million acres of land has been burnt (more than that of both the Amazon wildfires and Californian bushfires combined) and it’s estimated that around 500 million animals have died. Plus, more than 200 fires continue to threaten lives, homes and wildlife in the country as we speak.
In recent days the international community has rallied to support Australia – comedian Celeste Barber has raised more than $32 million via a Facebook fundraiser, and a slew of celebrities have come forward imploring the world to take notice and donate to various organizations helping to fight the devastation.
Keen to help but not sure how? Well, now is the time to buy big into Australian brands. Plenty of local labels in the country have pledged to donate a percentage of, or all, of their proceeds this week to bushfire relief efforts. Here’s where you should be filling up your carts:
Alex Perry
Having dressed some of the world’s biggest celebrities, Australian designer Alex Perry’s designs are highy sought after. Add one to your closet this week as the brand is donating 100 per cent of proceeds from all of its sales between January 5-11 to the NSW Rural Fire Service.
