Connecting Makers and Wearers.
Connecting Makers and Wearers.
It’s about time we brought the worlds of makers and wearers closer together. We believe it's the first step to creating a better fashion industry.

Printed on the inside of your Outlands is a special ‘thank you’ message from one of the people who made your clothes, but this is just the beginning of a two-way dialogue we hope will spread around the globe.

Here, we invite you to send your own ‘thank you’ message to the team who made your Outlands.

Your purchase supports women who have come from backgrounds of modern slavery, vulnerability or exploitation, not with charity, but stable, safe employment, that in turn allows them to support their family & contribute to the prosperity of their wider community. It’s what we call a cycle of freedom. It’s nothing above-&-beyond. Incredible things will happen when we simply do the bare minimum in providing people the human rights & support they deserve.

"Thank you so much for always supporting Outland’s product. Your support really helps our Cambodian’s women to have jobs and have money to send their child to school." - Chhay

"I would like to say thank you to our beautiful customers who buy our jeans and I believe that you guys will love Outland’s every product because every product we made is from our heart." - Sokhanya

Community.
Community.

To our team, Outland isn’t just a place of work. It’s a space to connect and grow with others both personally and professionally.

We might have provided the framework, but the culture is a testament to the community our team in Cambodia have fostered.

"It’s like I become a new person. Before I was so shy to talk to others but since working here I realised that I can talk and ask more questions when I don’t understand about the job." - Sokhanya

"My life has changed since working with Outland. Here everybody shows respect for each other. I would like to share my story with people in bad situations - maybe one day my story and experiences could help others." - Achariya

Education.
Approximately 70% of Outland Denim production team members had to stop their studies during primary or secondary school, most often due to financial pressure and family responsibilities.
Staff receive education as part of their employment in areas that will support their personal growth. Classes include general, child, and women’s health, human trafficking awareness, self-defense, financial management, Khmer literacy, English literacy and digital literacy.
One of the most exciting elements of these programs is knowing that our team members are passing this knowledge onto their children. 98% of surveyed employees share the education provided at Outland Denim with their families and communities.

"Before, I did not think I had the option to work, but now I am able to not only work, but excel! I have learnt how to sew shirts and jackets, and teach others who are new. These jeans are my love. Every day I put my love into them.” - Reasmey
Our seamstresses are trained in every element of the jean-making process.
Over a period of two to three years, trainee staff enrol in a program of cross-training and up-skilling to gain a deep knowledge in every area of the jean making process.

Many will eventually go on to mentor or manage their own team, passing forward what they have learnt. Over 50% of employees received salary increases this year due to skill progression or promotion.

Financial Freedom.
Financial Freedom.

"The biggest change to my life after working with Outland Denim is watching our financial situation grow in my family. I can support my sons to finish university and have a good job. My two sons are now married and they have children. I am so happy to see them growing and building a family." - Rangsei


According to Common Objective, approximately 1 in 8 people in the world rely on the fashion industry for their income, yet only 2% earn a living wage.


In fact, in a lot of cases garment workers don’t even receive a minimum wage. According to the ILO, around 35% to 40% of workers are not paid the legal minimum wage.


100% of Outland Denim team members have the opportunity to earn a living wage, which ensures enough income to cover necessary expenses, discretionary items, and save for the future. For many of our staff, this level of financial security is freedom in itself.

"The biggest change after working with Outland is my financial situation. I can earn money and have to save some for my future needs. And can send my daughter to school. I can eat and go for a holiday when I want to because I have money. Thank you." - Chantrea
