Starting a new business?

Your New Towel Business Starts With a Conversation

You do not need a warehouse or a huge first order. You need a supplier who listens, explains things plainly and stays with you. That is how we work.

Starting your own business is a big decision, and it is yours to make, in your own time. We will never push you to order more than you want, and every question is welcome.

We start by listening

Tell Us About Your Plan

Are you opening a homewares shop, supplying local hotels or building a short-stay business of your own? Tell us who your customers are and where you are. We will ask a few simple questions, then suggest where to begin.

You might not know the difference between 450 and 600 GSM, or what size a bath sheet should be. That is completely fine. Explaining it is part of the job, and we would rather you ask than guess.

Everything under one roof

If It Is a Towel, We Have It or We Can Make It

Hand towels, bath towels, bath sheets, face washers, bath mats, kitchen towels, pool and beach towels, bathrobes and bags. Wholesale designs in many patterns and colours. Hospitality towels in white and colour. Custom towels made to your specification.

If what you picture is not in our range, we can make it for you: your size, your weight, your colour and your own embroidery.

Stock That Moves, So Your Shelves Stay Fresh

Our wholesale designs are available while stock lasts, and the range keeps changing as designs sell through. For you, that means new things to show your customers, and a supplier who tells you straight what is here today.

If you find a design that sells and want it to be there every time, talk to us about making it for you as a fresh weave.

Guided every step of the way

We Do Not Just Supply Stock. We Walk the Journey With You.

Six stages, from first idea to a business that reorders. At every one of them there is a person you can ask.

  1. 1

    Tell us your plan

    Who will you sell to, and where? A shop, a round of local hotels, an online store or a short-stay property of your own? We listen first, because the right range depends on your customers, not on our shelves.

  2. 2

    Learn what matters, in plain English

    We explain weight (GSM), size, pile and colour so you can choose with confidence. Our guides cover GSM, sizes, care and how to order, and you can ask us anything at any time.

  3. 3

    Start with the quantity that suits you

    There is no minimum order quantity. Start small, see what your customers reach for, then order more of that. We would rather you grow steadily than overbuy.

  4. 4

    Make it your own

    When you are ready, add your own branding with custom embroidery, or ask about a fresh weave made to your size, weight and colour.

  5. 5

    A clear quote, then delivery

    You receive a written quote that includes freight before anything is confirmed. Once you approve it, we arrange delivery to your address in any state or territory.

  6. 6

    Stay in touch, and grow

    Reorder, add new designs or ask what has just arrived. You keep talking to the same team, who know your business and what you ordered last time.

Advice you can use

Start small

There is no minimum order quantity, so your first order can simply be a test of what your customers like.

Your own brand

Custom embroidery on selected in-stock towels, or a fresh weave made to your specification.

Honest stock updates

Wholesale designs are available while stock lasts. We tell you plainly what is available today, so you never plan around stock we cannot supply.

Three ways in

Which Path Is Yours?

Most people start as one of these three. Some become two or all three over time, and we are happy to grow with you.

Your brand

Make It Yours

The businesses people remember put their own name on things. We offer custom embroidery on selected in-stock towels, and fresh weave production if you want a towel made to your specification: your size, your weight and your colour.
