Move over Merino. You got nothing on the .....woolly Alpaca.
The first time I walked past Auslife, I thought it was a pet shop filled with brown, furry though rather immobile Pomeranian puppies. I did a second take. Thankfully, they weren't stuffed puppies at all but Alpaca toys, much like the Merino sheep toys you use to see in Duty Free shops.
Well it was so charming and strange that I just had to check out the rest of the shop.
Auslife stocks Australian products from T2 tea leaves to ugg boots and a variety of tacky Australian animal toys. It's actually not a bad idea if you are visiting overseas and you want to bring Australian made products as gifts. The last time I went over to Hong Kong, I bought my friends Aesop products - only to find out that Aesop was stocked internationally.
Next time, I think I'll come to Auslife where you can be assured that the product is 100% Aussie with limited commercial distribution overseas. read more
