At a time when it's easy to get caught up in the rush and the latest fad or sale, I suggest slow shopping with a conscience. In creating this list for you I've been overwhelmed by the amount of talent we have here in Australia. Why on earth would you go to a shopping centre with mass produced items? Here you can wander through a studio or local store or shop online and buy something beautiful and unique in support of local artisans and producers who care about what they do and the impact it has on us and the world.
