Grey red Cornflower Kitchen Towel

The cornflower is a wild flower of the fields, simple and free, growing at the edge of the wheat. This cotton kitchen towel grey and red keeps that country spirit: a light motif of field flowers set on a soft grey ground and lifted with red, in a natural, easy-to-live-with composition.

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. Every impression carries the small variations of the gesture, the mark of a genuinely handmade textile rather than an industrial print. The design is created in France, in that warm, country spirit dear to the house.

As everyday kitchen linen, this cotton kitchen towel grey and red 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 its colour.

But this tea towel also has a decorative side. Folded on the worktop or hanging from the oven rail, it brings a natural, understated note to the room. The grey keeps it easy to place anywhere, the red gives it just enough life. It is a piece that never imposes itself yet warms the room, at home in a pared-back kitchen as much as in a country one.

It works with white china, stoneware, wood and linen, settling naturally into any kitchen. You can pair it with the matching Cornflower tablecloth and napkins, carrying the same simple, country feeling from the table through to the kitchen.

It also makes a gentle, easy gift, for anyone who loves beautiful materials and honest everyday objects. An artisanal, natural and hard-wearing piece, both useful and decorative. Because a kitchen you enjoy cooking in deserves tea towels that are simple, beautiful and true.
