How can you tell if handbags are Australian made?

70-100 words describing any specific features, such as the green Australian-made triangle, regulations around labelling or packaging, reputable websites, locations of factories etc.

Confirming whether a business is in fact Australian made is actually quite simple. There's a few ways to tell including:

  • Australian Made, Australian Grown (AMAG) logo: One of the easiest ways to know if a product is home gown is to locate the green triangle logo on the webpage or packaging.
  • Locations of factories: If the AMAG logo isn't visible, then having a quick search for the manufacturing locations will confirm where the business produces.
  • Packaging and labelling: Most businesses will advertise if they are made in Australia, so checking out the labelling or packaging can provide confirmation.

If you're still unsure, we recommend checking out the Australian Made website. There you can search a business or product to see if it has been recognised as 100% Australian made.

Why buy Australian made handbags?

We suggest buying an Australian-made handbag for a few reasons, some of which include economic injection, higher standard of quality (especially if the bags are handcrafted by a smaller team), faster/ lower costs for shipping times and cheaper returns.

Are Australian made handbags more expensive?

Buying Australian made handbags may mean paying a few extra dollars at the till. With higher quality standards, real-time customer service on hand and higher wages to be paid, you can expect that small Australian businesses won't be charging the same as those who outsource manufacturing.

On the plus side, by buying local products you won't be charged any international shipping or transaction fee, it's more environmentally friendly and ethically, the health and safety standards of the factories are guaranteed to be up to scratch.

Ultimately, the positives of the bag you end up buying will outweigh the cost of it. Chances are it'll last a lot longer than one that's mass-produced overseas.
