History[edit]
KAS started in 1970 as a small side business selling at Sydney's Paddington markets.[1] The side project turned into a business and after 30 years the two owners have become the directors of KAS Australia, one of the country's most successful bedlinen brands, selling to 42 countries worldwide[2] and gaining loyal fans with their signature collections.[3]
The name KAS comes from an acronym for Karen and Steve.

He is responsible for overseeing the company's website and fashion-forward catalogues. Daniel has been employed by KAS for 1 year and is the Marketing executive.
