From Humble Blooms to Botanical Beauty: The RTC Story
Every brand has a beginning. Ours started over 60 years ago with a simple plastic flower and a belief that even the smallest touch of beauty can transform a space.
RTC has come a long way since then. What began as a modest supplier of giftware and artificial blooms has blossomed into one of Australia’s leading names in faux botanicals, home décor and Christmas magic. We’ve always been guided by one thing: love for what we do.
In the early days, we saw the potential in lifelike artificial flowers before they became a trend. We believed in offering products that looked real, felt real, and created lasting impressions. Over time, our range grew—along with our passion. By 2009, RTC had already become a trusted name in faux florals. That same year, we made an exciting leap by introducing the UK’s prestigious Royal Botanic Garden pot collection to Australian homes and gardens. It marked a new chapter of design innovation and global collaboration.
Fast forward to 2024, and we launched Casa Verde, a Spanish-inspired collection of home and garden décor that brings European flair and craftsmanship to everyday living. As of 2025, we’re proud to offer one of the most sophisticated faux floral and greenery collections on the market. Our real-touch blooms and outdoor greens don’t just look stunning—they're built to last, with UV protection that keeps them vibrant season after season.
But there’s one season we hold especially close to our hearts: Christmas!
To us, Christmas isn’t just a holiday—it’s a feeling. That’s why our festive collection is bold, joyful, and brimming with charm. Many of our designs are created by our own in-house team, giving them a uniqueness you won’t find anywhere else. This year also brings a meaningful milestone. After decades of dedicated leadership, our long-time Managing Director, Michael Fletcher, has passed the torch to me, Liza DeBon Karavelas. I have been part of the RTC family for over 20 years, and the transition into leadership marks a new era of creativity, vision, and heartfelt connection with our customers. Through every chapter—past, present, and future—RTC has remained a business built on care, craft, and community.
Whether it’s a single bloom or a home full of seasonal joy, our products are made to create beauty that lasts. We’re proud of where we’ve come from—and excited for where we’re headed.
