Impact

Designed to last. Designed to matter.

M8ties partners with the Raise Foundation, a leading Australian youth mentoring organisation supporting young people through connection, confidence, and early intervention.
Through this partnership, 5% of profits from all M8ties products directly supports mentoring programs in Australian high-schools — helping young people build resilience, self-belief, and a stronger sense of belonging.

Impact at M8ties isn’t a side project.
It’s built into how we design, produce, and choose to grow.

Ethical by Design

How something is made matters just as much as what it becomes.

While our first StashM8s are produced locally, our long-term commitment is broader:
every M8ties product is made ethically, with partners who value fair wages, safe working conditions, and transparency — whether production happens in Australia or overseas.

We choose progress over perfection, and accountability over shortcuts.

 

Aligned with United Nations SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth.

 

 

Sustainably and Durably Made

Sustainability, to us, starts with longevity.

M8ties products are designed to withstand daily use — not a single school term. Strong stitching, considered construction, and quality materials are deliberate choices to reduce the cycle of constant replacement.

We prioritise:

  • Durable construction that holds up over time

  • Natural, biodegradable cotton fabrics where possible

  • Eco-conscious printing methods, including low-waste and water-efficient processes

Every product is designed to last at least three years of regular use — because the most sustainable product is the one you don’t have to replace.

Aligned with United Nations SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production.

 

 

Our Broader commitment

M8ties exists to support young people — not just through donations, but through design that encourages confidence, organisation, and self-expression.

When possible, we also donate products to young people experiencing material disadvantage, ensuring quality gear reaches those who need it most.

Small, thoughtful choices.
Real, measurable impact.
One M8 at a time.
