Vintage Gold Coast Linen Tea Towel Cushion Cover | 1960s Australian Souvenir

Before the high-rise towers, theme parks and endless development, there was another Gold Coast.

A place of quiet waterways, fishing spots, native wildlife and long stretches of uncrowded coastline. This beautiful handmade cushion cover preserves a glimpse of that lost landscape through an original 1960s Gold Coast souvenir linen tea towel, illustrated in soft ocean blues and gentle pastel tones.

The vintage design captures an Australia that feels almost dreamlike today—kangaroos grazing, peaceful waterways, fishing adventures and tranquil coastal scenes, all rendered in charming mid-century illustrations. It is a nostalgic portrait of the Gold Coast before it became the glitter strip, celebrating the natural beauty that first drew visitors to this remarkable part of Australia.

Lovingly handmade by Love And West, this one-of-a-kind cushion cover transforms a treasured piece of vintage linen into a functional artwork for the home. Rich in history, colour and storytelling, it brings warmth and character to coastal interiors, Australian homes and vintage-inspired spaces.

No two pieces are alike, making this a truly unique gift for lovers of Australian nostalgia, vintage textiles and meaningful handmade homewares.
