Hi Brigid and team,

I have just received the new Raa sheath dress in navy and just wanted to say how fabulous it looks and how quickly it arrived!!!

I am an Australian Fashion Design House, who, for nine years, has worked very successfully manufacturing garments out of India. The prime reason I manufacture out of India is that I find India’s textile history and culture so inspiring.

For nine years I have worked with several companies who have all proved themselves to be honorable and ethical, and with whom I continue to work.

Over the years many in the industry have questioned me as to why I choose to work with India, due to the many stories they have heard of dishonorable conduct by Indian Garment Exporters.
This has never been my experience until I was approached by Biharilal Fashions mid last year.

For the first time, in the past ten months, I am sincerely sorry to have experienced first-hand unethical and dishonorable behaviour by an Indian Garment Exporter; Biharilal Fashions also known as BLF Mumbai.

No one needs reminding what a great country we live in, it’s impossible to miss!

But it saddens me that Australian Made product doesn’t get the limelight it deserves.

Behind the Brigid McLaughlin Collection is a team of highly skilled craftspeople and technicians who work closely with me to produce a product within Australia to a quality level that is equal  to, if not surpasses some of the biggest fashion brands in the world.
