About Us
Designed, printed and packed in Melbourne
A family-run textile studio in Brunswick, Melbourne. We design, print and pack every towel by hand, alongside a supported workforce.
A family business, built on good design
A textile studio in inner-Melbourne Brunswick.
KE Design is a family-run, community-minded business, known for beautiful products made from high-quality natural and recycled fabrics.
Our recycled microfibre tea towels do more than look good. They dry and polish crockery, glassware and cutlery, lifting smears, watermarks and fingerprints.
Most of our designs are the work of local Australian artists, so every towel carries a piece of Australian design.

How we're making the world brighter
Recycled fabrics
Our fabrics are made from recycled fibres, giving new life to old materials.
Inclusive workshop
Our workshop proudly employs people living with disabilities.
Water-based inks
Printed with safe, water-based inks that won't crack, peel or fade.
Made by our team
With a rotating team of supported workers on site, our open employment and supported staff have built real bonds.
Some supported workers who started here have gone on to open employment. Diana worked with us through Brunswick Industries for years and is now employed directly with us. She proudly supervises our supported workers on tasks like printing and heat pressing.
When you buy a gift from KE Design, you help create good jobs for people who are too often overlooked.

About Our Workforce
A proud business making a difference.
When you shop with KE Design, you help sustain jobs for people living with disabilities in Melbourne, and you support the local community.
Brunswick Industries Association, formerly the Brunswick Sheltered Workshop, began in 1968 as a joint venture between the Mount Royal Hospital and the Brunswick Lions and Rotary Clubs. For over 50 years its mission has not changed: to give local people with disabilities meaningful, well-paid work in a place built around their needs.
KE Design has worked alongside the workshop for over 15 years, and we are now its largest customer. We are one of only a few companies in Victoria permitted to have supported workers print and pack beside our open employment team.
