Cor is the brainchild of Jaz Hunt, an artist who combines her passion for creativity and fashion by digitally printing her original paintings onto fabric. Growing up near the ocean in both Portugal and Australia, Cor embodies a slower pace of life that values our environment and a freedom of spirit. The silhouettes of Cor also allow for freedom of movement, with every design intended to maximise comfort and practicality (including much loved pockets for women!). Made from high quality natural materials, Cor pieces are designed to be loved and worn for years to come.

Beyond Transparency
It is extremely important to founder, Jaz Hunt, that Cor benefits and empowers everyone involved throughout the entire supply chain. That is why Jaz takes a hands-on approach to production, and is personally involved from start to finish. She travels to India several times a year, working directly alongside the makers of Cor on everything from fabric sourcing, printing, cutting, machining, hand sewing, finishing and quality control. This allows Jaz to experience the culture of her production partners in India, while personally getting to know the people who help turn her designs in to reality.
"Knowing the effort that has gone into every stage … can really encourage us to value clothing as it should be and to change the culture around our clothing consumption to one that is sustainable.” - Jaz Hunt, Founder & Designer
