Aura Home
EstimatedWe don't have information on Aura Home yet, so this is based on where homewares, furniture & appliances companies usually make their products (China, Vietnam and India). Labour standards there are typically poor: workers in China, Vietnam and India are very unlikely to earn a living wage, and unions and workers' rights are heavily restricted in China and Vietnam.

Aura Home (formerly Aura by Tracie Ellis) is a small, founder-owned Melbourne bedlinen brand that designs in Australia and buys from overseas suppliers, which it describes as 'ethical suppliers, from large mills to local artisans'. It does not name its suppliers or the countries where its products are made, and publishes no supplier code, audit results or modern slavery statement. Some ranges carry GOTS organic or OEKO-TEX Made in Green labels, but these apply to individual products rather than the whole range.
