Sabo Skirt, a fashion label geared to women between 18 and 30, was founded by Thessy and Yiota in 2016. The label offers a range of curated clothing, shoes, swimwear, sleepwear, and formal wear, all of which are designed in-house and exclusively sold by the brand.
Dedicated to sustainability, Sabo Skirt is increasing its use of recyclable, biodegradable, and recycled packaging. The brand's headquarters is currently entirely powered through solar energy. Not only is the brand dedicated to helping the environment, but also has strong philanthropic values. Currently, Sabo Skirt has donated over $130,000 worth of clothing to various nonprofits including the Australian Red Cross, Pink Hope, Sydney Children's Hospital, and Project Gen Z, among others.
