Handmade clothes are becoming more and more popular and later
on this month in Canberra is the Handmade Markets at
Exhibition Park, a very very popular event with Camberons and
people across the region joining me on the podcast today
to talk all things handmade fashion. Is the wonderful founder
Julie Nichols. Welcome to the podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Julie, thanks for having me Sammy.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Now you and your team, you're super busy. You're gearing
up for the next handmade markets. Why is it so
important that people support small businesses who produce these beautiful
handmade fashion pieces.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Well, it's always important, but I guess never more so
than right now. There's a few different reasons. The main one,
I guess is the economic benefit for everybody. You know,
if people can get out there and support small business,
than that's creating jobs and they're staying in business, and
it is just helping the economic flow overall. Of course,
(01:08):
there's always the environmental benefit as well, so that's a
lot of people that aren't importing things in there's no mileage,
they're not creating as much, so everything's quite unique. But
it also means that you're you know, it has a
great environmental flow on as well. But also it's preserving
(01:30):
those skills that sometimes we can lose over the generations.
So if we have more people that are staying with
those skill sets and teaching them passing them on, then
we're keeping that as well. So I think that's a
really important benefit. Also.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Now, speaking of benefits, duly, what would you say the
benefits though? If I were to buy a handmade fashion
piece you mentioned uniqueness there, would you say that that's
one of the many benefits?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Definitely? I think I think some of the great benefits
of you buying a handmade pieces that it's always going
to be unique. It's not as if you're going to
walk down the street and past seven people wearing the
same things. So yeah, that uniqueness, but the quality as well,
So the quality far out weighs the real mass produced
(02:21):
items that you can buy. Yes, you might pay a
bit more for it, but it will outlast anything that
you will buy in the stores as well. Again, that
benefit is supporting small business, you know, keeping them in
business as well, which means you can always get your
high quality, unique custom made. You can have something made
specifically for you. You know that you just can't beat
(02:45):
the benefits of buying from a small business, especially in
getting something made in fashion exactly for you.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Now, you guys are going to have plenty of small
businesses on site at the handmade markets at the end
of these months. But what are some of the fashion
