Founded on Fabric

Founded on Fabric - Chef Works


Before Chef Works, there was fabric…

The brand you know has a story you may not.
Over 60 years ago, Chef Works was founded from a family fabric business!

Developing world class fabrics for fashion, uniform, and the general textile industry, the family saw a client base that just wasn’t getting the attention it deserved. It was then, that Chef Works was born out of inspiration for the wearer, the requirements of the role, the fabrics to suit the demands of those roles, and the pursuit of fashion. As you know, food is art and presentation is vital to the overall experience.

To this day, when designing our garments, the priority is to recognise the needs of its intended wearer, and tailor the right fabric and fit accordingly. We like to call it ‘The Mise en Place of Uniforms’.

Knowing your Chef Works fabric options can help you save valuable time and money, helping you select the right uniform - the first time, every time!
