We get asked a lot of questions — and we love it. Here are the ones that come up most, answered honestly and with a little heart. What is Ramie Fabric
Q1: What is SUKAAH?
SUKAAH is an Australian-owned women's clothing brand built around one simple belief: that getting dressed should feel good — especially in the heat. We specialise in breathable, natural fibre clothing designed for warm climates and real bodies. Every piece we make is crafted with comfort, longevity, and quiet elegance in mind. SUKAAH was born from a desire to feel confident in our changing bodies — and to wear something beautiful that doesn't come at the planet's expense.
Q2: What is ramie fabric — and why should I care?
Ramie is one of the world's oldest and most underrated natural fibres. It comes from the boehmeria nivea plant — a tall, fast-growing plant that doesn't need much water or pesticides to thrive. The result is a fabric that's incredibly strong, naturally breathable, and gets softer and more beautiful with every wear. Think of it like a cool, crisp linen — but even lighter on your skin. Once you try ramie in the Queensland heat, it's very hard to go back.
Q3: Why is ramie perfect for warm climates like Australia?
Ramie is almost tailor-made for Australian summers. It allows air to circulate freely, helping regulate your body temperature so you stay cool even on humid days. It's naturally moisture-wicking, dries quickly, and doesn't cling to your skin. Whether you're out for a seaside lunch in Brisbane, exploring markets in the tropics, or heading to a resort in Bali — SUKAAH pieces move with you without leaving you feeling sticky or overdressed.
Q4: What styles does SUKAAH offer?
Our collection is designed around the idea of effortless resort dressing — pieces that transition easily from morning walks to long lunches to evening drinks. You'll find ramie pants, relaxed tops and shirts, kaftans, wraps and longline jackets, leather sandals, beaded jewellery, and rattan accessories. Everything is designed to work together — so you can mix, layer, and style with ease. Sukaah Collection
Q5: Is SUKAAH clothing sustainable?
Sustainability is at the heart of what we do — not as a marketing buzzword, but as a genuine commitment. Our garments are made from 100% plant-based, biodegradable natural fibres. Ramie in particular is one of the most low-impact crops available — it regenerates quickly and requires far fewer chemicals than conventional cotton. We make fewer pieces, made better, so you buy less and keep it longer. That's the kind of fashion we believe in.
Q6: What sizes does SUKAAH cater to?
SUKAAH was created with evolving bodies in mind — because bodies change, and they deserve to be dressed beautifully at every stage. Our designs are relaxed, generous, and forgiving in all the right ways. We believe getting dressed shouldn't be a battle with your wardrobe. It should feel like slipping into something that was made for exactly the body you have today. What to wear during Menopause
Q7: How do I care for ramie clothing?
Ramie is wonderfully low-maintenance. Here are a few simple tips to keep your SUKAAH pieces looking their best:
— Hand wash or gentle machine wash in cool water — Use a mild, natural detergent — Lay flat or hang to dry — avoid tumble drying — If ironing, use a medium-heat setting while slightly damp
With the right care, your SUKAAH pieces will soften beautifully over time and last for years — not seasons.
Q8: Where does SUKAAH ship to?
We're proudly Australian — and we ship across Australia. We're currently celebrating our Australian launch with 40% off storewide, automatically applied at checkout. If you're outside Australia and you'd love to get your hands on SUKAAH, reach out to us directly — we'd love to help.
Q9: Why choose SUKAAH over fast fashion?
Fast fashion is designed to be replaced. SUKAAH is designed to be kept. Our pieces are made from natural fibres that improve with age, in styles that don't chase trends, at a quality that won't fall apart after three washes. When you invest in SUKAAH, you're choosing clothing that respects your body, your wardrobe, and the planet — all at once. We think that's a much better deal.
