“The second I saw the tram banner, it took me straight back to uni days and city commutes. Love having a piece of Melbourne on display in my kitchen!”

Sam

From horses to cables to electricity. Melbourne’s trams have been rattling through the city for over 120 years. First hitting the tracks in 1885, our tram network has grown into the largest in the world outside of Europe, with over 520 trams cruising along 250 kilometres of track.

But it’s not just the rumble we love, it’s the W-class tram and its famous tram banner that really takes us back. Wait, what’s a tram banner? It’s that roll-up sign at the front of the tram that used to tell you exactly where you were headed (assuming you could read it in time). Officially called a “destination blind”, it’s now a beloved design icon, and let’s be honest, half the charm of the old rides.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT:

✔ Features the iconic Melbourne tram destination blind
✔ A nostalgic nod to the W-class tram and classic commute
✔ The perfect gift for tram lovers, locals, or homesick Aussies
✔ Designed in Melbourne with a wink to local transit history
✔ Made from premium cotton — great to use or hang
✔ A unique piece of Melbourne’s moving history

Our Melbourne Iconic Tram Banner Tea Towel brings this old-school signage back to life without the wait at the stop. Whether you’re a daily commuter, nostalgic Melburnian, or tram spotter from afar, this one’s for you.
