The Laminated Cotton Shop is an Australian Made Business with all products manufactured in Melbourne and accreditation from the Australian Made Campaign. The brand checks the accreditation of all fabric suppliers and reviews fabric testing certificates before sourcing fabrics. Packaging labels are printed in Australia (Ballarat) and sewing supplies are sourced in Australia where possible.
The Laminated Cotton Shop uses washable laminated cotton designed for repeated use to replace disposable shower caps. The fabric features a heat-treated urethane coating with no glues and is PVC free, BPA free and phthalate free. The base cotton fabric is a natural fibre that does not shed microplastics when washed. The brand follows a zero waste production ethos by using fabric scraps for swing tags and packaging ribbon and all packaging and labels are made from cardboard or paper.
The Laminated Cotton Shop employs local women during school hours and supports local women's AFL initiatives. In 2025, it sponsored a girls in football evening at a local AFL community club, featuring a recent AFLW recruit sharing her story with the girls teams. In 2026, the brand donated time and e-commerce expertise to build and maintain the website for the Doutta Stars in Essendon, a club with a strong women's program.

Product Reviews by Experts


This is such a clever and wonderful idea for a product. My daughter is 11 and has super long hair but does not wash it often (once a week max). She has often asked for a shower cap but I didn’t want to purchase a plastic one (reusable or disposable). She was so happy using this. The colours/pattern is super cute. It kept her hair dry in a gentle way. She loves using it. It is also great that it can be washed like a towel or clothing item. I love that the fabric composition and certification is considered before using it. I also love that this is a small Melbourne business.


While I don’t regularly use a shower cap as part of my routine, I was able to appreciate the quality and craftsmanship of this product. The design feels thoughtfully executed, with a comfortable fit, attractive fabric selection and excellent construction. It elevates what is often considered a purely functional item into something that feels well designed and enjoyable to use. I also appreciated the reusable nature of the product and the fact that it offers a more durable and aesthetically pleasing alternative to disposable shower caps. I was impressed by the brand’s commitment to local Australian manufacturing and the transparency they provide around sourcing and production. The focus on creating durable, reusable products that reduce reliance on disposable alternatives is a meaningful sustainability initiative, and I particularly appreciated their zero-waste approach to production and packaging. Their support of local women’s employment and community women’s sport demonstrates a genuine commitment to creating positive impact beyond the products themselves, reflecting strong community values and social responsibility.


Cute way of keeping hair dry in the shower – I love that it’s made in Australia and is a much better alternative to disposable shower caps. The local production is great, along with the recycled packaging, the use of fabric scraps being used for swing tags, and the PVC-, BPA- and phthalate-free materials.
