Melbourne is a city that likes to keep things local. Its designers, entrepreneurs and makers take pride in creating anything from furniture to top-shelf whiskies within city limits. So what is it that makes the city an incubator for all things locally made? We ask the people who have successfully made the most of everything Melbourne's offered to them.

On a budget? Here are our favourite places for cheap shopping in Melbourne and our ultimate guide to cheap things to do in Melbourne.
