Good things, worn longer. Extending the Life of Lee Mathews.

For more than 25 years, Lee Mathews has created clothing designed to be worn often, cared for well and kept for years to come. Timeless design, quality craftsmanship and considered materials have always been at the heart of the brand, creating garments that continue to hold value long after they are first worn.

Our partnership with SWOP offers a natural next chapter for those pieces.

As the official resale partner of Lee Mathews, SWOP provides Australian customers with a trusted way to pass on eligible garments when they are no longer being worn. Each piece is professionally assessed for quality and authenticity before being offered a new life through SWOP's established resale platform.

By extending the life of existing garments, we can help keep thoughtfully made clothing in circulation for longer, connecting each piece with a new owner while reducing unnecessary waste.

Customers whose garments are accepted by SWOP can choose from a range of reward options, including Lee Mathews store credit, making it easy to reinvest in a considered wardrobe.

Together, Lee Mathews and SWOP share a belief that well-made clothing should be worn, valued and passed on. It is one step towards a more circular wardrobe; where good things continue to be lived in, loved and worn longer.
