Quoin the Label was born from a deep desire to share — to tell the story of our island life through the lens of luxury, and to create textiles that reflect both place and possibility.
Our lives on the island are rooted in adventure. Each project is a new journey — an invitation to explore through design. We never quite know where the next story will lead us.
Our latest chapter has taken us from the raw, windswept beauty of Tasmania’s shores to the sunlit serenity of Queenscliff. Here, we've traded moody, cocooning tones for fresh walls and layers of uplifting colour. Yet one thing remains constant: our textiles are made to be mixed, matched, and lived with — timeless pieces that evolve with the space.
Welcome to Sagres — a striking three-story sanctuary perched above the heads of Port Phillip Bay. With sweeping ocean views and the quiet rhythm of ships gliding toward Melbourne and Geelong Ports, it’s a place that stirs the senses. It’s here, amidst sea and sky, that we found inspiration for our latest designs.
This is more than interior design. It’s a lifestyle — curated, considered, and always connected to the beauty of place.
Our approach began with a fresh, airy foundation — natural finishes paired with soft, grounding tones to create a sense of calm and ease. But of course, we couldn’t resist adding those joyful pops of colour — after all, colour is at the heart of everything we do.
Each bathroom was styled with handpicked Turkish towels in shades that subtly echo the space, while the bedrooms were brought to life with custom linen bedding, created in collaboration with our dear friends at Carlotta + Gee. Every element was thoughtfully curated to reflect the personality of each room — playful, relaxed, and undeniably refined.
Each of our collections carries its own identity, yet all are united by the spirit of Sagres - effortless, coastal, and deeply considered.
Sagres captures the golden warmth of summer, with sun-drenched tones and earthy textures that evoke long, relaxed days by the sea. Classic offers a timeless take, featuring crisp, bold stripes that bring a fresh, tailored edge to any space. Luna draws from the deep, shifting blues of the ocean — calm, moody, and endlessly layered.
Our pieces are crafted with care and intention. Every detail speaks to comfort, craftsmanship, and the coastal lifestyle we live and love.
