OUR MISSION
To Help Women (and Their Communities) Feel Good
At Outback Linen, our mission is simple: to help women feel good in what they wear and how it’s made. We create timeless, easy-to-wear linen pieces that fit real women’s lives - school runs, long lunches, workdays and weekends. Every design is size inclusive, breathable, and made to last, proof that quality clothing doesn’t need to be complicated.
From our small team in regional Australia to our fair-trade makers abroad, every piece supports women, families and communities. It’s fashion that feels good, looks good, and does good.

OUR STORY
Born in the Bush, Loved Around the World
Outback Linen started with one woman, one simple idea, and plenty of heart.
Founder Sarah Henney, a rural mum in Longreach, couldn’t find beautiful, sustainable linen that genuinely suited real women and real life. So she began making it herself, pieces that feel good, fit well, and last. What began at a kitchen table quickly grew into something bigger: a brand built on community, regional women, and work with purpose.
Today, Outback Linen is still family owned and award-winning, guided by the same values we began with ethical making, inclusive design, and deep care for people and planet. From the bush to the world, we’re proof that quiet luxury can grow from humble beginnings.

The Heart Behind the Linen
MEET SARAH
The Heart Behind the Linen
Hi, I’m Sarah, founder of Outback Linen. I started this brand for women like me, busy, hardworking, rural women, who want clothes that feel good to wear and good to stand behind. No fast fashion, no fuss. Just timeless linen for real life.
Each piece begins with a simple thought: make it softer, easier, and kinder to the planet.
I work with a small team of rural women here in Australia and our ethical makers in India. Together, we’re building something that supports women and the communities around them.
Letter from Sarah:
“I wanted to build something women could feel proud to be part of. Every piece supports rural women, mothers, makers, dreamers, all creating something meaningful. Thank you for being here. Sarah x”

At Outback Linen, supporting emerging artists is at the forefront of what we do. We collaborate with Australian women to turn hand-painted artworks into garments that tell stories of land, resilience, and belonging.
OUR WOMEN. OUR COMMUNITY
From paddocks to coastlines, our community is what makes Outback Linen truly special. Every photo shared, every story told, every smile in linen... it all reminds us why we do what we do.
