The Linen Press

About

The Linen Press is a Melbourne-based company that was established in 1994 by mother and daughter, Joan and Susy Kennedy. They started by designing and sourcing hand embroidery in Vietnam. When these products became unavailable, the company began importing textiles from producers in India that are ethically sourced and organically certified. Joan's personal love of textiles and native flora and fauna led to the development of textile ranges featuring all kinds of Australian plants and animals.

The Linen Press products are designed in conjunction with local artists. These designs are printed on aprons, tea towels, pot holders, mitts, tote bags, purses and pouches. From these range of designs, the company has expanded equally new and successful products such as toiletries, stationery and other paper products, as well as fine bone china cups.

The Linen Press is duly certified as a Climate-Friendly Business, and with the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Australian Certified Organic (ACO).
