The outcome

The Royal Flying Doctor Service is proof that purpose-led brands deserve product built to last.

The Royal Flying Doctor Service engaged Crafted by Do to design and produce a premium product range from scratch. We sourced the materials in Australia, developed full technical documentation and managed production through to bulk manufacture. The Premium Adventurer Rescue Swag became their best-selling product, and the range later extended to a branded dog coat.
