About us

When you shop with School Leavers Gear, you’re not only getting cool gear, but you’re also supporting a business that cares about the environment. We’re all about reducing waste and using eco-friendly materials.

As a proudly Kiwi-owned and operated company, we only produce what’s needed when you order from us, so we don’t have any extra stock just hanging around. This means that we can minimize waste and avoid having a warehouse full of extra inventory.

You’ll notice that many of the products in this catalogue are marked as “eco-friendly” – that’s because they’re made from sustainable or recycled fibres or GOTS-certified cotton. You will also be pleased to hear that we’re always exploring new ways to print custom designs on your gear in eco-friendly ways.

We’ve gone digital to make things easier for you and to cut down on paper and packaging waste. When you receive your orders, you’ll see they come in compostable packaging or recycled boxes without any pesky individual plastic wrapping.

We’re constantly looking for ways to up our sustainability game. Thanks for supporting us in our efforts to positively impact the environment – we couldn’t do it without you!
