Little Audrey, better known as the Skipping Girl, has been lighting up the Melbourne skyline since the 1930s. Originally created to advertise vinegar, she became one of the city’s first neon signs in 1936. Not far from her, the Nylex Plastics sign has stood proudly atop the Richmond silos since 1961. An enduring landmark that has shared the time and temperature with generations of Melburnians travelling along the Monash Freeway, riding the train, or drifting down the Yarra River.

Inspired by two of Melbourne’s most iconic landmarks, our Iconic Melbourne Signs Swedish Dish Cloths celebrate the stories that have shaped the city we know and love. Together, these beloved signs capture a sense of nostalgia and everyday Melbourne life, now reimagined as a practical and beautifully designed addition to your home. Made from natural fibres, it’s the kind of kitchen essential that works hard but still knows how to have a little fun. Pair it with one of our Tea Towels for the ultimate Aussie gift, perfect for sending overseas or keeping a little taste of home close by.

Chloe N. ★★★★★

Wasn't expecting a kitchen sponge to make me nostalgic, but the little Skipping Girl graphic got me. The scrub side handles baked-on stuff without scratching, and it doesn't go smelly after a week like my old ones.

Mia H. ★★★★★

The neon-sign artwork on this sponge is a brilliant tribute to the Skipping Girl – every wash-up feels like a little piece of Melbourne nostalgia. It's a touch thinner than I'd like, but it scrubs well and looks great propped by the sink.

Steven Z. ★★★★★

Bought this for my mum who grew up in Melbourne and she recognised the Skipping Girl sign straight away. The sponge is nice and firm, holds plenty of suds when I'm doing the dishes.
