ABOUT US

We are an Australian family run business that is inspired by the warm and friendly tone of the Australian culture and the rich colour palette of our landscapes. From the bright pink sunsets on Cottesloe Beach to the rich green Fan Palms of the Daintree Rainforest. We love colour! And we love the outdoors!

With all our product designs, we choose to partner with talented local Australian textile designers and artists, to ensure each piece is beautifully unique. You won't find our fabric designs anywhere else.

Growing up as kids in Australia, we know there is nothing better than making memories and enjoying the great outdoors with family and friends. There is something spontaneous and magic when you; take out the picnic blanket, have a chinwag, share food, play, laugh and relax together. 

We are fully committed to making beautiful products that encourage memory making moments in the great outdoors. Don't forget to share your Banksia & Bourke moments with us on our socials (@banksiaandbourke) and show us how you enjoy using our beautiful blankets and accessories. We'd love to hear from you.

Why everyone loves our picnic blankets...

WATERPROOF + SAND-PROOF

Dry bottoms all year round and no scratchy sand stuck on your legs at the beach. Our blankets have have been designed with durability in mind and ensure optimal comfort and easy care of fabrics. We also know accidents happen (spilled milk, wine, baby spew! It happens to the best of us), so all our blankets can be spot cleaned and hung out for natural air drying.

Our picnic blankets allow for more a tonne more fun to be had with friends and family!
