Australian made products are in high demand as consumers look for authenticity and high-quality items, while also wanting to support local businesses.
The Australian Gift and Homewares Association (AGHA) will once again be partnering with the Australian Made Campaign at this year’s Gift & Home Expo (including Sydney Gift Fair) at Sydney Showground from 17 to 20 February 2024.
Some of the new Australian Made exhibitors featured in this year’s expo include:
