"We picked up one of these and its a huge hit with all the family"
Craig
Melbourne’s trams aren’t just public transport, they’re moving icons. Stylish, vintage, and just a little bit slow but in a charming way, the green and yellow W-class tram is as Melbourne as coffee snobbery and four-seasons-in-one-day.
First rolling out in 1923 and still circling the city, these trams have earned their stripes. Our Iconic Tram Tea Towel brings the charm of the city’s most recognisable ride into your home. It’s bold, bright, and guaranteed to make drying dishes feel a bit more cultured.

Are any of these Tea Towels made from a cotton-linen blend?
Yes, some of our tea towels are made from a 50% cotton and 50% linen blend. This natural fibre mix gives them a slightly more textured feel, excellent durability, and a premium look—perfect for drying glassware, styling your kitchen, or gifting with a luxe twist.
Do the Tea Towels shrink after washing?
All of our tea towels are pre-washed or pre-shrunk as part of the production process, but natural fibres like cotton and linen may experience slight shrinkage after the first wash. To minimise this, we recommend following the care instructions on the sewn-in tag and always air drying.
Can I use my Make Me Iconic Tea Towels for more than just drying dishes?
Absolutely! Our tea towels are super versatile—use them as placemats, wrap them around fresh bread, line serving trays, or even stretch one over a canvas to create your own Aussie-inspired wall art. They’re as functional as they are decorative, adding a touch of charm to any space. We've even shared how to turn your tea towel into art on our Life & Play Blog [https://makemeiconic.com/blogs/make-me-iconic-blog/tea-towels]
Do Make Me Iconic do Tea Towels come in different designs?
Yes! Our tea towels showcase a range of fun and uniquely Aussie designs—from nostalgic food brands to playful nods to local culture. Each one brings a bit of personality to your kitchen and makes even the most boring chores feel a little more iconic.
Can I gift a Make Me Iconic Tea Towel?
Absolutely! These tea towels make the perfect gift for housewarmings, overseas visitors, Aussie-themed hampers, or just because. They’re lightweight, easy to post, and offer a thoughtful, affordable slice of Australian life in every fold.
