Fitted In Wittner
“We are always in need of a plain black flat.”
To mark our ongoing commitment to connecting our community to the circular fashion movement, we have partnered with Fitted for Work, an organisation that highlights the importance of fashion and uses it as a tool to help women gain financial independence and meaningful employment.
We collaborated with the Fitted for Work team to see how we could best contribute to their mission and after close consultation we donated 100 pairs of an essential black flat, which we believe would most universally meet the needs of a woman’s wardrobe.
We visited the FFW team at their Richmond HQ to learn more about their process and how our donation will support the community.

First of all, tell us about Fitted for Work.
Fitted for Work has been around for 18 years and we have supported 42,000 women around Australia. When most people think about us, they think about clothing – but thats only a small part of what we do. Our mission is that we want to ensure that every woman in Australia has financial independence and security through meaningful employment.
Who can benefit from your mission?
As women, we understand that it can often be difficult to ask for help, so we have no eligibility criteria because we know that disadvantage can strike at any time. What we find is, every woman is on a different part of her journey into work. We will often consult with women who don't need clothing, however, they may require support in other areas – like writing a résumé.
