Why Buying Australian Made Products is the Better Choice

Years ago, most of the goods we purchased were made with pride and had a high degree of craftsmanship. You could tell that the product was created with care, and the quality of the workmanship was reflected in the items we were buying. Then, things began to change. The constant drive for higher and higher company earnings reports and overall company greed led to a hollowing out of local manufacturing. Instead of things being made with pride in Australia, they were produced at less than reputable factories off shore.

As a result of this trend toward off shore production at the lowest possible cost, Australian consumers suffered. Companies made more money and employed workers overseas in sweat shop conditions, and lost total track of any commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Consumers in Australia were inundated with goods and products that were not made to last over time. The cheap workmanship and lack of care was readily apparent in so many of the products arriving on container ships from overseas.

Support Australian Manufacturing

When you buy an Australian wool quilt from a company that offers products that are 100% Australian made and owned, you will be directly supporting Australian manufacturing. Overall, this sector of the economy has been in deep decline as both big and small businesses sent their manufacturing overseas.

Australian manufacturing plays a key role in the economy. By supporting local home-grown manufacturing, you will be helping restore industry to Australia, and protecting against shortages due to world tensions and events too.

Help Support Farmers in Australia

Australian farmers have also been through some tough times in recent years, and need all the support you can give them. Every time you purchase an Australian wool quilt with 100% Australian wool you will be supporting our farmers.

All of the Woolmark certified wool that is used in these doonas comes from South Australia and Victorian sheep farmers.

Directly Support Australian Workers and Our Economy Too

When you purchase products sourced and produced in Australia, you will be bringing a boost to employment in the Australian farming and manufacturing segments. This will further create good paying jobs, and allow Australian workers to earn a living creating products that they can be proud of.

Every cent spent on 100% Australian products stays in Australia, and supports the vitality of our economy. Money for the raw materials suppliers to the manufacturing workers all circulates locally and makes our economy and country stronger.
