"Who knew a tea towel could bring back so many memories? Reminds me of hot summer days and that classic Nylex clock. Great quality and a proper convo starter in the kitchen"

Adam

Bring a piece of Melbourne’s industrial charm into your home with our Iconic Nylex Tea Towel, inspired by the city’s most loved rooftop sign. Perched atop the Richmond silos since 1961, the Nylex Plastics sign has been a timeless landmark telling the time and temperature to generations of Melburnians on the Monash Freeway, on the train, or drifting down the Yarra River.

A true piece of Melbourne nostalgia, this iconic Melbourne Tea Towel is a tribute to the city’s rich heritage and urban personality. Whether you hang it in your kitchen or frame it as urban art, it’s a standout piece that celebrates our shared love for local legends.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT:

- A stylish nod to Melbourne’s iconic skyline

- Doubles as home décor (hello, wall art!)

- Made from high-quality, absorbent fabric

- The ultimate Aussie gift or souvenir

- Designed in Melbourne, celebrating homegrown culture

- Adds a pop of personality to your kitchen

- A stylish keepsake or thoughtful gift for Melbourne lovers

- Makes you smile every time you dry the dishes

We’re proud to bring back this fan-favourite tea towel, because just like the Nylex sign, some things are simply too iconic to forget.

Who We Are

After returning home to Melbourne we immediately fell in love with the City again. Melbourne has so much to offer that is unique and we wanted something in our home that brought those elements to life.

We knew we weren’t the only ones that love this City so we began making a small range of Melbourne Souvenirs & Gifts. Designed for locals and tourists alike Make Me Iconic’s range of Melbourne Souvenirs capture the essence of the City and give it the style and sophistication it deserves.

Great for gifts, homesick expats or just a treat for yourself.
