We are so excited to share one big step we've taken to transition our most widely used fabric, Viscose, to a responsible alternative; LENZING™ ECOVERO™ branded viscose fibres.

Derived from certified renewable wood sources using an eco-responsible production process by meeting high environmental standards, LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibers tailor to a sustainable lifestyle, contributing to a cleaner environment. LENZING™ ECOVERO™ Viscose fibres have 50 percent less greenhouse gas emissions and water impact than standard viscose (according to Higg MSI scores2).

We estimate the complete transition of our La Lune collection to LENZING™ ECOVERO™ Viscose by end 2021 and will continue to keep you updates on our progress.

Thank you for your support and understanding as we take the small steps toward big change.

Seabin Project is responsible for collecting trash, oil, fuel and detergents from our oceans.

There are over 850 Seabins installed globally and their technology has collected 1.8 million kilos of garbage and plastics from our oceans to date.

How does it work?

The Seabin moves up and down with the range of the tide collecting all floating rubbish.

Water is pulled in from the surface and passes through a catch bag inside the Seabin, with a submersible water pump capable of displacing 25.000 litres per hour. The water is then pumped back into the marina leaving litter and debris trapped in the catch bag.

The Seabin can catch an estimated 3.9kgs of floating debris per day or 1.4 tons per year (depending on weather and debris volumes) including micro plastics down to 2mm small.

A challenge Seabin Project continues to face is a lack of volunteers.

As part of our ongoing partnership our team have loved volunteering their time to help Seabin with servicing and Data Collection.

All mothers and their children deserve access to basic healthcare and the chance for their families to get ahead. SurfAid is a not for profit organisation committed to improving the health and wellbeing of mothers and children living in isolated regions, by enabling local people to develop and apply their own development ideas rather than simply delivering our own.

To support the incredible work of SurfAid's Women & Children Program, we've curated a capsule collection of easy wear linen outfits, designed for the Australian Summer, in a palette of Coconut Milk, Olive and Sand. For every garment sold from the SJ X Surfaid Capsule Collection, Shona Joy will be donating $10 to SurfAid.

Donated funds will support SurfAid in improving the lives of women and children in remote areas and isolated villages where the maternal and child mortality rates are some of the highest in the world. Together, we can give families the best chance of getting ahead by providing access to healthcare, clean water and sanitation and improved nutrition.

Each year, 100,000 women in NSW along struggle to find a job - putting themselves and their family at risk. Dress for Success Sydney is a charity that has brought hope to more than 15,000 of these disadvantaged women - transforming their lives by offering the skills and confidence they need to secure work and gain financial independence.

For the past two years, Shona Joy has partnered with Dress for Success - as part of our mission to do our part in ensuring every woman has the same opportunity to feel independent and empowered. We have proudly donated our dresses to both the Sydney and Illawarra branches, supported the organisations through fundraising and donations and have dressed young women attending their school formals or graduation dances, who couldn't have otherwise afforded to attend.
