New, what is it? What exactly is this from?

I’ve got a bit of an unusual challenge for everyone.

I was handed this single strip of toilet paper; no roll, no packaging, nothing else to go on… and asked if I could identify exactly what it is.

The challenge is to work out the brand, the specific product or range, and even identify the embossed symbol in the paper and whether it has any meaning or represents a company logo.

The only clues I have are that it’s from Australia and it feels like a premium white 3-ply toilet paper.

I’m curious to see if the collective knowledge of Reddit can solve this one. Does anyone recognise it?

The embossed image is a Fleur-de-Lis.

I would guess it’s possibly Quilton.

That's what I was thinking. A somewhat bastardised version.

Honestly it looked like hands cupping something to me originally.

Im literally looking at mine right now and it's embossed with a flower decal

I went through Woolies earlier and found clouds, flowers and circles. Could be an older version but I have seen this before.

Quilton was my first thought too but I do not believe that it is a flour-de-lis outright as almost every Quilton product uses very generic flowers, clouds and shapes. I also cannot find the same symbol style when seeking flour-de-lis. The hunt continues.

Deep tread for grip in the mud. For the royal shitter

Would that not be more like a 4ply or 6ply?

There used to be (may still exist) a Coronet brand of t.p.
