bonjour!
I’m Karen Miles
Storyteller. Linen lover. Always planning my next reno or French escape.
A curated
destination
for beautiful,
thoughtful
living.
I’m a journalist, stylist, and content creator who’s never met a French café, linen cushion, or renovation project I didn’t love.
Through curated content and seasonal linen collections, I bring together my editorial expertise and personal aesthetic to celebrate a life well made.
At the heart of French Consul is the belief that a beautiful life isn’t made through grand gestures, but in the details — the linen napkin used every day, the light in a well-considered room, the ritual of a morning walk, a quiet corner café in a place that feels like home.
French Consul Linen
Every French Consul linen piece begins in the flax fields of France and is woven with care by our heritage mill in Ireland — a proud member of the Irish Linen Guild. Our linen is MASTERS OF LINEN® and EUROPEAN FLAX® certified, and meets the human-ecological requirements of the Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX®, ensuring both quality and sustainability.
From there, each product is handcrafted by our talented sewing team in Ireland. Our Totes and Madie cushion covers are proudly made locally in Australia. Our homewares are designed in Australia by Karen Miles, owner of French Consul.
“Happiness is not a destination, it’s a way of travelling.”
Collaborations
Through digital and print media, TV and radio, I’ve spent my 15+ year career telling beautiful stories — in words, in images, and in the details of everyday life.
At French Consul, I share curated content across interiors, travel, style, culture, and wellbeing, with a French-infused aesthetic and a love of craftsmanship and simplicity.

“This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognised by yourself as a mighty one.”
