About
Chev Lane is a fashion culture platform, independent retailer, and event series based in Meanjin (Brisbane), dedicated to showcasing designers and makers who value slow fashion, circular practices, and expressive, intentional design.
With a strong focus on emerging talent, every creative stocked at Chev Lane is carefully selected - sometimes down to the individual garment - for their craft, storytelling, and commitment to the planet. Many of the pieces are one-of-a-kind or made in small runs, reflecting a shared dedication to sustainability and material experimentation.
​
Chev Lane is more than just a store. It’s a platform for dialogue, community, and creative resistance — hosting exhibitions, panel talks, and pop-up events that explore fashion’s intersection with politics, identity, culture, and care. We brings together a generation of creatives using clothing and art to make statements, honour heritage, and progress forward.
Sustainability
Chev Lane is committed to refusing brand-new and animal-derived materials — unless they’re reclaimed.
The vast majority of pieces stocked are made from salvaged, secondhand, or deadstock materials. Designers are selected for their ability to work with what already exists — using resourceful, low-waste approaches to create bold, intentional garments and objects.
A small number of components (such as specific haberdashery or trims) may be newly sourced when secondhand options aren’t accessible - however this is carefully considered.
Sustainability at Chev Lane means supporting circular fashion, minimising waste, and backing creatives who challenge extractive systems through how and why they make. It’s a continual commitment.
