When Dani Pelly and Tim Wilkins started fashion label Ena Pelly as a "little market stall" selling printed silk pieces, they had no idea that within six years, they would be at the forefront of sustainable fashion innovation.

This season, the husband-and-wife team from Torquay, on Victoria's Surf Coast, are launching a range of faux-fur jackets made from 100 per cent recycled PET bottles, in what is believed to be a first for an Australian brand.

"We've always tried to do our bit, and where there's an option, we choose [to be] more sustainable," Pelly said.

Each jacket in the range is made from about 60 plastic bottles that are collected, chipped, melted and spun into yarn. Based on stock levels, that could mean hundreds of thousands of bottles redirected from landfill.
