South African Made products

How to Identify Genuine South African Products & Services

The best way to identify South African products and services is to look for the Proudly South African logo - the circle and tick in the colours of the SA flag. The logo is a registered trademark and a mark of quality. It shows you that the product and/ or service is local, it is top quality, it adheres to environmental standards and the enterprise behind the product or services adheres to fair labour practices. So look for the logo when you shop and choose Proudly South African products and services first!

Another way to support the "Buy Local" movement is to check the labels of all products you buy. By law, any and every product sold in our shops must carry a label which states where the product is from or where it is made. "labels of Origin" state whether a product is made in South Africa or imported. This includes food, clothing, footwear, jewellery, appliances furniture and gifting.
