A letter to our Tall US friends
We know the world of fashion can already feel limited when you stand a little taller than most. That’s why we’ve worked hard to make Miss G & Me accessible for tall women who want quality, comfort, and style without compromise. You’ve welcomed us into your wardrobes and hearts; we couldn’t be more grateful, and why we are sending this letter to our tall US friends.
With proposed changes to U.S. tariffs on the horizon, we wanted to give you a heads-up, and a few tips to stay ahead of the curve. Our goal is always to keep you informed, supported, and stylish, no matter what politics are doing.
How U.S. Tariffs Could Affect Your Miss G & Me Orders - And How to Beat Them
The U.S. government is set to introduce new tariffs on imported goods, which could impact the price of clothing from brands like Miss G & Me. While Australian-made garments currently benefit from tariff-free entry into the U.S. under our trade agreement, any changes could mean additional costs for American customers.
What This Means for You
Potential Price Increases: If tariffs expand to include Australian-made clothing, duties could be applied at checkout, making purchases more expensive.
Shipping Costs Could Rise: Higher import costs may lead to increased shipping fees across all international orders.
Delayed Demand: As prices climb, some shoppers may hesitate, but savvy customers can take action now to avoid the impact.
Currency Conversion Considerations: Right now, the exchange rate between USD and AUD is favourable, meaning U.S. customers get more value when shopping. However, if tariffs lead to inflation and currency shifts, the cost of buying from Australia could increase further.
How to Beat the Tariffs
Shop Now, Before Any Price Changes: The proposed tariffs aren’t in effect yet. By ordering now, you secure today’s pricing and avoid potential increases.
Buy Multiple Items in One Order: Shipping multiple pieces together can reduce overall costs per item and maximize value.
Choose Quality Over Fast Fashion: Investing in well-made, timeless pieces means fewer purchases over time, saving money in the long run.
Leverage the Strong USD: With current exchange rates, your dollar goes further when purchasing Australian-made garments. Lock in these savings before potential economic shifts occur.
