Australian Made Ladies Flat Sandals
Knowing where our garments are made and in what conditions they are made in, is something worth paying for. Supporting Australian made fashion, beauty and lifestyle brands also lessens the greater carbon footprint of these industries, as shipping and transport emissions are decreased with shorter travel distances. Australian made is obviously dear to my heart being a small Australian sandal business - Ankalia.

Australia adheres to strict industrial awards, legislation, and national employment standards to protect our manufacturers and workers, ensuring safe working conditions, fair working hours, award wages, superannuation and sick leave. This is in stark contrast to some of the working conditions in overseas sweat shops where forced labour is often in place to churn out "fast fashion."
At Ankalia we pride ourselves on being the exact opposite of "fast fashion." We are "slow fashion" meaning every pair of sandals are thoughtfully handcrafted in limited-edition batches. Definitely no landfill from our sandals. https://ankalia.com/collections/ankalia-sandals
For every $1 million that is retained manufacturing in Australia, the following effects also flow through the economy:
. Six full-time jobs are created
. $64,900 worth of welfare expenditure is saved
. $225,300 worth of tax revenue is generated
Supporting local Australian brands positively impacts our economy and our community, and it promotes a thriving Australian creative industry, of which Ankalia is one.

Ladies (and gentlemen) of Australia, let’s all do our bit and try to buy “Made in Australia” whenever possible. As a small business myself, I do my bit to always try to"shop local" and "shop small," as well as obviously handcrafting our limited-edition leather sandals here at Ankalia. Here's a peak at a few of our designs but you can read more about Ankalia sandals and check out our designs by clicking this link:
