Come for a browse, stay for the loveliness

Hello! Welcome to Shop Handmade Australia, and thanks for visiting the new central meeting point for lovers of handmade shopping.

Brought to you by The Contemporary Handmade Alliance, SHA caters to the Australian shopper who seeks items that are lovingly produced in the homes/workshops of hard working people around Australia; items which are not available in mainstream stores; items which are made with love and a creative spark; and delivered with excellent customer service and care. Items which are funky, contemporary, beautiful, whimsical and original.

SHA is discerning and aims to facilitate a genuine connection of buyer to artist in a meaningful way. We are not a store; just a doorway into the handmade community. Here you will connect with Aussie crafting businesses and artists who will tell you about their sales, specials, events, auctions, new products, markets and more. In addition, we will work hard to keep you informed with handmade news and information, as well as shopping guides, interviews, competitions and more.
I look forward to getting to know you and sharing with you the joys of handmade Australia.
Shop for you, shop for him and shop for the kids. Stand out in the crowd with your handmade loveliness. Take pleasure in telling people that your gorgeous purchase is Australian handmade.

Please bare with us while we get proceedings under way; oh and we would love it if you could share our Facebook page and Blog with your friends and family who also relish all things handmade. It will make our online community all the more fun and worthwhile.

Cheers, Chicken
