Description
Cornflowers grow freely at the edge of the fields, among the wheat and the wild grasses. This kitchen towel yellow and green keeps that meadow spirit, but in a luminous palette of yellow and green, like a field bathed in early summer light.
Each piece is hand block-printed on good-quality cotton, in the artisan workshops of our partners in India, where block printing has been handed down through generations. The slight irregularity of the gesture gives the fabric a life of its own, those small variations that mark out a genuinely handmade textile. The design is created in France, in the natural, country spirit that runs through the collection.
As everyday kitchen linen, this cotton tea towel does its job fully. The cotton is absorbent, it dries glasses without leaving lint, wipes dishes, works as a hand towel by the sink and stands up to repeated washing. Over time the fabric grows softer while keeping the freshness of its colours.
But this kitchen towel yellow and green also has a decorative side. Folded on the worktop or hanging from the oven rail, it brings light and freshness to the room. The yellow warms it, the green calms it, and together they breathe the countryside in summer. It works beautifully with white china, light wood, linen and other natural materials.
It is the kind of linen that smells of the fields, of morning markets and baskets slowly filling with the first fruits of the season. You can pair it with the matching Cornflower tablecloth and napkins, carrying the same fresh feeling from the table through to the kitchen.
It also makes a bright, easy gift, for anyone who loves beautiful materials and honest everyday objects. An artisanal, colourful and hard-wearing piece, both useful and decorative. Because a kitchen you enjoy cooking in deserves tea towels as fresh as a morning in the country.
