From Farm to Bed: The Sustainable Journey of Australian Wool Quilts

So much has changed in life as the years have gone by. Way back in time, we would find that things we needed in life were made by craftsmen and craftswomen who truly cared about what they created. The items they produced reflected their pride of workmanship, and you could count on the quality of the goods they made. Factories then came onto the scene, and mass production became the norm. Still, we could find some companies we could trust and many products were still made locally.

Then, the world changed and company buyouts and corporate greed became the new way of being. Companies and investors who only cared about profits moved production overseas. They weren’t look for quality, they were interested in the cheapest labour source and raw materials. As a result, consumers were inundated by products that had shoddy quality, were sometimes produced in sweat shop conditions and would quickly fall apart. Fortunately, there were still local Australian companies that were looking to keep the spirit of quality,  local manufacturing and pride in what they produced alive.

Australian Made and Owned

When you buy an all season wool quilt that has the Australian Made & Owned logo, you will know you are getting top quality, Aussie products. This logo is considered to be the highest level in Australian manufacturing.

These products are created using wool from Australia farmers and are fully manufactured in Australia. Your purchase will support fellow Australians, and you will receive a top quality product that will last for years to come.

The Sustainable Journey Starts on the Farm

The journey of creating a luxurious all season wool quilt starts on the farm. The wool for these doonas is locally sourced, and sustainable. Farmers are able to earn a good livelihood when they produce wool for these products.

Look for the Woolmark certified label. All of the wool for these doonas comes from South Australian and Victorian sheep farmers.

Buy Locally Made Products That Are Ethically Produced

Australian customers are looking for quality products that are both ethically sourced and ethically produced. When you buy from an Australian manufacturer that uses sustainably produced wool, you are directly supporting local workers and the local economy.

You’ll also have the satisfaction of knowing that these products are ethically produced, instead of created in an overseas sweat shop. The manufacturing process can be traced back fully to the original, sustainable raw materials.
