Oxfam Australia has revealed its Naughty or Nice list for 2019, this year focusing on the Australian fashion brands that have made a real commitment to a living wage for the women who make their clothes. 

The brands who have made it into the 'Nice' section of the list have made a commitment to a living wage which helps lift women and their families in manufacturing countries out of poverty. 

The brands on the 'Nice' list are Best & Less, Bonds, City Chic, Elk, Kmart, Target, Cotton On Group, Country Road Group, David Jones, Gorman, Dangerfield, H&M, Designworks, Review, Forever New and Jeanswest. 

Brands that are listed as 'Naughtiest' are Katies, Rivers, W. Lane, Just Jeans, Peter Alexander, Jay Jays and Myer while Big W and Zara were categorised as 'Naughty.' 

Oxfam is calling on consumers to demand the brands in the naughty section to make a commitment to a living wage by using this template: "Hey [brand] – I’m really disappointed to see you on this year’s Naughty List and I know you can do better.

"Will you make a public, time-bound commitment right now to paying a living wage?

"I care about #WhatSheMakes and want the women who make our clothes to be paid enough to live on." 

Oxfam’s Naughty or Nice List started in 2013 after the Rana Plaza factory collapse.

The 2019 list was released on November 25.
