Why Buying Australian Made Matters

When you choose to spend a little more on an Australian-made product, whether it's $1 extra at the supermarket or $10 more on a locally made garment, you're doing more than supporting one business. You're contributing to a chain of local jobs, skills, and communities.

Take one of our locally knitted wool jumpers as an example. It starts with the wool farmer, who looks after the sheep and supports nearby suppliers, including feed stores, vets, shearers, and farmhands. The wool is sold to brokers and then processed by Australian businesses that spin and dye the fibre here in Australia. Once ready, it's turned into garments by our team at Silver Fleece in Adelaide.

Each stage of this process supports Australian workers, from our knitters and machinists to sales staff and delivery drivers. As an Australian-owned company, any profit made stays in the country, reinvested through wages, services, and community spending.

Buying local means your money goes further, supporting families across the supply chain and helping to preserve skilled manufacturing here in Australia. You're not just purchasing a great wool jumper—you’re investing in your community and country.

That’s the value of buying Australian made.
