Designed in Australia, Inspired by Home

Bring a little Australia into your everyday with tea towels that are proudly designed in Melbourne and across Australia. Each piece celebrates local icons and nostalgic moments, capturing the essence of Australian life in a way that feels both familiar and uplifting. From beloved Melbourne landmarks to playful cultural references, every design connects you to the places and memories that matter most.

A Legacy of Iconic Designs Since 2009

Our story began in 2009 with what we fondly call our “holy trinity” of designs, the Skipping Girl, Melbourne Train Network, and Hook Turn tea towels. These original pieces quickly became customer favourites and remain part of our collection today. Their lasting popularity is a testament to timeless design, strong local identity, and the connection people feel to Melbourne’s unique character.

Made from high-quality fabric, they are durable, absorbent, and designed for everyday use. The prints are vibrant and long-lasting, ensuring your tea towel continues to look great whether in use or on display.
