Why it's graded Lacks transparency
- Not met: Meets 2 of 6 Good requirements.
- Holds the grade back: It doesn't show that workers are paid a living wage, and isn't certified as working towards one. On Track needs at least one of these.
- It isn't Harm on record, because there's no serious confirmed problem on its record.
- Lacks transparency is still a poor grade: in supply chains like this, workers who can't be seen to be treated fairly are usually underpaid or unprotected.

Evidence
What we found
- Doesn't show where its cotton comes from. Cotton is linked to forced labour in Xinjiang and Turkmenistan, and child labour in several growing regions, so it can't be graded Good until it traces or certifies it.
Research notes Over 75% of Perri Cutten's products are made in Australia; the countries making the rest are not disclosed. Its Australian-made garments were accredited by Ethical Clothing Australia for about a decade, which checks local workers get award wages, but that accreditation ended in 2025. Owner Austin Group scored 28/100 in the 2026 Ethical Fashion Report; its published supplier list and modern slavery statement cover Gazman, not Perri Cutten, and no living wage policy is published.
