Buying Australian Made – the best of local makers

For decades we’ve been encouraged to buy Australian Made and most Australians recognise the Australian Made logo. After all that 2020 has thrown at us, it is now more important than ever to support our local makers and family businesses in order to keep our economy strong. Read on to see my top 4 picks for all things homewares and furniture that is made on our fair shores.

 


Made by you

Born out of a desire to find tasteful, affordable furniture and made from good quality timber, not finding exactly what she was looking for, Anna set up her little business in late 2019. She has created simple designs that can be customised online and arrive flatpacked to you. Easy to assemble, they not only look good, but they are as sustainable as possible. Made from a sustainably grown timber, called Paulownia, eco packaging and using a shipping company that is carbon neutral.

Ink & Spindle
These eco friendly and sustainably produced fabrics are made right here in Melbourne in the peaceful setting of the Abbotsford Convent. Founded in 2008, with a common love of Australian flora and fauna and all things sustainable Lara Cameron & Caitlin Klooger hand screen print their unique fabric designs on site. You can purchase the fabric by the metre or they also have other local makers produce cushions, window furnishings, table linens and small items of furniture using their beautiful fabrics.
