🏆 Preserving Australian Show Tradition with Authentic Felt Ribbons & Sashes 🇦🇺
For over 150 years, felt show ribbons have been woven into the very fabric of Australian agricultural heritage. From the first Royal Melbourne Show in 1848 to country shows across the nation, these distinctive awards have celebrated excellence in livestock, produce, and craftsmanship that built our rural communities.
Did you know? ➡️ Felt ribbons became the gold standard for Australian shows because of their durability in our harsh climate and their ability to maintain vibrant colours season after season. Unlike paper or silk alternatives, felt could withstand the dust, heat, and handling that came with outdoor agricultural displays.
At Southern Cross Show Ribbons, we’re proud to be one of the very few Australian businesses still crafting authentic felt show ribbons and sashes.
While many have moved to other alternatives, we remain dedicated to preserving this treasured Australian tradition.
✨ What sets us apart:
- Innovative printing techniques offering an extensive range of fonts and colours
- Premium quality felt that outlasts the competition
- Custom designs that honour your show’s unique heritage
- 100% Australian made - supporting local craftsmanship
Whether you’re organising a prestigious Royal Show or an intimate country agricultural society event, our felt ribbons and sashes carry the weight of tradition and the promise of quality that show & society competitors and organisers have trusted for generations.
Don’t let this piece of Australian history fade away. Choose authentic felt awards that celebrate achievement the way it’s been done for over a century.
