14.01.2022 January is the month of returns Returning from holidays, returning to work and of course, the trips to the shops (& Aus Post) to return those New Year splurges. But so few of the garments you return end up back on shelves. Many retailers (online or traditional) don't have the technology, time or money to process your change-of-minds or faulty purchases. So they sit, waiting to be rehomed. But before they get the chance, they take a one way trip to landfill.... What can you do to help minimise your contribution to this stat? - Try on your clothes before you buy - Search for faults and damage (ask for a discount and mend at home!) - Check the KYN website to see if you can purchase from a local maker instead. There is no way their precious creations will be sent to landfill! Do you hit the changerooms before you buy? #KYN #KnowYourNeighbour #AustralianMade

12.01.2022 In a year where our Australian small businesses have taken a beating, thousands have lost their jobs and the economy is, well let’s not even go there We want to know from a buyer and seller perspective, what are your thoughts on this period? Do the sales help you buy Christmas gifts for loved ones? Or as a seller, do you feel pressure to participate? For me, I am grateful for Aussie made businesses offering small discounts because it means that I can afford choose them over... affordable offshore alternatives when gifting. However, I am buying with purpose, I’m not buying for the sake of it. I think that is what’s most important.

12.01.2022 Hey. Hello. Hi! It’s me Laura, the thumbs behind Know Your Neighbour. With so many new faces joining our wonderful community, I thought it’s about time you got to know me. It is no secret that I love supporting local and 6 months ago I decided to collate my wonderful discoveries to make it easier for you to buy Australian made. But that’s old news, here are some things that you probably don’t know about me: Born and bred in Melbourne but hold a dual-citizenship of M...alta, a teeny tiny dot of a country under Italy. I have a doggo called Cooper and a bunny called Bruce Wayne. Love AFL/AFLW controversially a Bombers supporter in a family full of Tigers. 100%, utterly addicted to travelling. I have 4 domestic trips booked for the first half of 2021 and cannot wait! Last country visited was Japan in Feb this year (overseas travel in 2020, who woulda thought). My beverage of choice is Rum + Coke or a cheeky Espresso Martini. I’m anaphylactic. Currently binging Schitts Creek. The hardest question someone could ever ask me is, summer or winter? Impossible choice summer is for beaches and triathlon training, winter is for snowboarding! Hopefully this gives you a little more idea about the person preaching Aus made to you! Every follow, like, comment and story response makes me soo happy, so thank you for being part of this very special community. You can find out more about my journey on the KYN website #KYN #KnowYourNeighbour #AustralianMade
