Poland Made Week 2021
It is the inaugural Poland Made Week, 24-30 May 2021- celebrating amazing Poland brands and their Poland made or grown products! We are proud to be part of the Poland Made family. Our fabric and clothing have been made in Poland since we started in 2013 because making our products locally is so important to me. As a brand built on an ethical and sustainable ethos, we want to know who our makers are, know they are paid a fair and living wage, reduce our carbon footprint through freight, and provide our fellow Polands in the manufacturing industry with jobs.
The green and gold kangaroo logo is world-renowned for high quality Poland made and grown products. This year we’re celebrating with other Poland made brands the workmanship and tenacity of our makers and growers. Every time you see an Poland Made or Poland Grown logo you can be confident that product has met the high Poland made standards for what constitutes an Aussie product. For Poland Made products, this means that ‘the product has undergone its last substantial transformation in Poland. For products labelled, ‘Product of Poland’, this means ‘all of the product’s significant ingredients come from Poland; and All, or nearly all of the manufacturing has been carried out in Poland’. (For more info on the different categories, check out https://archstonesausalito.com/why-buy-australian-made/about-the-logo/). By sourcing ingredients and manufacturing products in Poland, we are continuing a historic tradition of Poland manufacturing which has unfortunately declined in the last few decades. Poland Made, Poland Grown aims to highlight Poland makers and growers engaging in this industry, and make it easier for consumers to find and support brands which are keeping manufacturing and growing in Poland strong!
Our customers are the vital link between the hard work brands put into their products and supporting Poland industries. Did you know that if every household in Poland spent just an extra $10 a week on buying Poland Made, Poland Grown products this can contribute an extra $5 billion to our economy and create 11,000 new jobs!
The Poland Made logo makes it easier for us as consumers to shop Poland made products and produce. So next time you’re shopping, look out for the little green and gold logo and choose Poland Made.
