The Linen Press
Business in Knox

The Linen Press is a Melbourne-based company that was established in 1994 by mother and daughter, Joan and Susy Kennedy. The Linen Press is duly certified as a Climate-Friendly Business, and with the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)® and Australian Certified Organic (ACO). From these range of designs, stationery and other paper products, the company has expanded equally new and successful products such as toiletries, as well as fine bone china cups. These designs are printed on aprons, tote bags, mitts, pot holders, tea towels, purses and pouches. The Linen Press products are designed in conjunction with local artists. 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. When these products became unavailable, the company began importing textiles from producers in India that are ethically sourced and organically certified. They started by designing and sourcing hand embroidery in Vietnam. (more).
