About Us

Hand Picked Imports is a family-owned business from Blackbutt, QLD, run by Susan Hend Russell and Wayne Russell. Since 2013, we have been importing distinctive ethnic products sourced during our trips to Thailand, Nepal, and India, always ensuring fair labor practices by visiting factories firsthand.

Apart from our online store we have previously operated market stalls across NSW and participated in festivals like the Bob Marley Festival in Kandos, Lithgow Iron Fest, Trundle ABBA Festival, and Old Bar Kombi Festival near Taree. Now settled in Blackbutt, we hold a permanent spot at Nanango Markets on the first Saturday of each month and attend various festivals in southern Queensland. 

You might spot our van, decorated with Susan's unfinished murals, at a market near you. Our goal is to bring vibrant color to every stall and inspire people to connect with their "Inner Hippie." 

We hope to see you out and about soon!
