Giving Back
Every purchase makes a difference.
Here at Alf we are passionate about giving back to our community. So, through our partnership with Dress for Success we are proud to be able to support Australian women to feel empowered and confident in their journey to transition back to the workforce. As we offer products primarily for women who are transitioning back into the workforce, we are incredibly passionate about giving back to a charity who directly support women and children in need.
Every time you buy something from us, we will donate $1 from your sale directly to your closest Dress for Success Australian affiliate.

The Alf Exchange
The Alf Exchange gives you the opportunity to exchange your pre-loved bags from any brand, including Alf (with RRP of $200+), and receive a discount up to $100 AUD to apply to your next beloved Alf.
This initiative is another pillar in our commitment to sustainability and giving back to our community. Pre-loved bags will be repurposed and donated to our partner Dress for Success whose programs provide direct support and resources to Australian women re-entering the workforce.
Additional Charity Work
Prior to our partnership with Dress for Success we also worked with i=Change from July 2019-August 2021 to support Foodbank, Australian Childhood Foundation and Women's Community Shelters. We also worked directly with Foodbank during the fires that devastated Australia late 2019 and kept burning into 2020. We set up our warehouse as an official drop off point for Foodbank donations. We did a call out for donations through our social media and were totally blown away by the generosity of our community - you! We collected a staggering 1,617 kg of donations for the families and volunteers effected by the bush fires.
In the 2017/18 financial year we donated more than $3000 to Bears of Hope and in the 2018/19 financial year we donated $7861 to PANDA.
