I’m working on a series of poster/images for !buyoceanian@quokk.au - A comm for promoting Aus/NZ goods.

Can I please get some of your recommendations and suggestions for locally made and owned alternative brands. Thank you

    For Uggs, I’ve been using Mortels. Aussie owned, grown, and made. I rock the Bitza made from offcuts. I feel like I’m helping making use of the entire sheepskin. You know, less waste etc. Been very happy with the quality, and I use innersoles to keep things clean and fresh to cater for my sweaty, smelly feet and get extra life out of the ugg boots. You can give them a wash if they get matted or grotty, or just replace them as needed. There’s nothing quite like popping your cold foot into an ugg that’s nice and fluffy everywhere, instead of matted and half worn out innersole. They even have arched innersoles. I am not affiliated with Mortels, just a happy customer.

      Oh awesome. Been wanting to get some uggs for winter, these look great. I love how rando the colours are on the Blitza, might end up getting them too.

        Well, kind of. But I hope my choice is better than drilling oil out of the ground, sending it overseas to be processed into synthetic fibres, then processed and made into boots in underpaid sweat shops, before being shipped back to Australia. And then replacing them every year because they fall apart.
