About Rhianna Knight:
Rhianna is a Melbourne-based designer who’s passionate about adventures and sustainable fashion. In an industry with a reputation for waste and unethical treatment of workers, Rhianna’s brand Amble Outdoors (formerly Team Timbuktu) is an exception. Founded by Rhianna, Amble is an Australian-based ethical activewear brand mindfully producing leggings, jackets and other active apparel from sustainable and eco-friendly materials. As of now, Amble has recycled over 250,000 plastic water bottles and turned them into the durable and sustainable fabrics they have become so well-known for. Her goal is to create a brand that encourages its audience to get outdoors and move their body, not so much focusing on fitness, but to do so just for the fun, challenge and enjoyment of it.
