Get Busy with Australian Made
Busywear is a range of women's and men's swimwear, underwear and clothing based on the Gold Coast, Australia. Incorporating the brands BusyBeaver, BusyBitch and BusyBalls, the company has only been operating for three years but is already beginning to export overseas with great success to China and LA, proudly carrying the Australian Made logo as its competitive advantage.
“Being Australian Made is our mantra. The thing that sells ours stuff in the US is the fact that we have the Australian Made logo, ” said CEO of The Busy Group, Michael Yarwood.
“We researched Australian Made and we decided that it is a competitive advantage because there are no other mass produced Australian Made swimwear companies with our unique styles."
Australia and in particular the Gold Coast has recently been recognized as one of the bikini capitals of the world according to international buyers.
Australia's reputation for swimwear has been compared to Italy's reputation for shoes and Michael Yarwood believes this allows Busywear to thrive due to an understanding of beach culture, design, fit and the need for superior quality.
“We are one of the very few Australian Made swimwear companies and people see Australia as a beach culture and the perception reinforces the significance of having swimwear as an Australian Made product.”
Since a report on A Current Affair championing the fact that The Busy Group remain one of the very few designer brands made in Australia, Michael Yarwood says they been “flooded by international enquiry for more of our quality designed and manufactured swimwear to go overseas. This year we made a push into the US market and will be following through with that next year when we will take up residence in the US under a visa for 6 months and we will be part of G’Day LA in January 2008.”
