Ghanda is a surf & street wear brand born out of the coastal town of Torquay, Victoria. They’re a small brand with a select number of stores around Australia, focusing on offering affordable basics and fashion pieces catering to all ages across Men’s, Women’s, Teens and Kids.
The majority of the styles you see in their stores and online are hand-printed by their own team of in-house printers. The flexibility of having access to printing ourselves, instead of outsourcing to manufacturers overseas, allows them to print to order. Their range is directed by what you want, and therefore they don’t overproduce styles that won’t sell. They strive to be a sustainable brand where wastage is limited.
"Our misson is to ensure the Ghanda products you buy and love are made in an ethical and humane way. We are conscious of our environmental footprint & continue to put practices in place to ensure future generations can enjoy & share our passion for our environment."
