Don't just take our word for it

I bought the Kookaburra tea towel as a gift for my mum in the UK and she absolutely loves it. The quality is incredible — nothing like the cheap ones you find in souvenir shops.

We use these as our go-to beach towels every summer. They dry in minutes, fold down to nothing, and the colours haven't faded after two years.

I run a gift shop in the Yarra Valley and KE Design towels are our top seller. Customers love that they're made locally and the designs are so unique.

Why is KE Design different?

Every product is designed and manufactured right here in Melbourne.

Our fabrics are made from recycled fibres, giving new life to old materials.

Our workshop proudly employs people living with disabilities.

Printed with safe, water-based inks that won't crack, peel or fade.

More than a towel. It's a job.

Every KE Design towel is printed and sewn in our Melbourne workshop by a team that includes people living with disabilities. When you buy from us, you're not just getting a beautiful Australian-made towel. You're helping sustain meaningful work for a more inclusive Melbourne. That's worth hanging on the kitchen wall.
