Description
The blackberry is a hedgerow fruit, wild and quiet, that stains the fingers so pleasantly at the end of summer. This cotton kitchen towel beige and red makes it the subject: deep red blackberries set on a natural beige ground, in a soft, warm composition that smells of the country lane.
Each piece is hand block-printed on good-quality cotton, in the artisan workshops of our partners in India, where block printing is a craft 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 the natural, warm spirit dear to the house.
As everyday kitchen linen, this warm tea towel does its work fully. The cotton is absorbent, it dries glasses without leaving lint, wipes dishes, serves as a hand towel by the sink and holds up to repeated washing. Over time the fabric grows softer while keeping its colour.
But this cotton kitchen towel beige and red also has a real decorative role. Folded on the worktop or hanging from the oven rail, it brings a natural, autumnal note to the room. The beige grounds it in soft, easy tones, the red of the blackberries gives it depth. It works especially well with stoneware, wood, linen and raw materials.
It is the kind of linen that recalls the end of summer, jam bubbling on the stove and baskets of fruit gathered in the hedgerows. You can pair it with the matching Blackberry tablecloth and napkins, carrying the same seasonal softness from the table through to the kitchen.
It also makes a warm, easy gift, for anyone who loves beautiful materials and everyday objects with character. An artisanal, natural and hard-wearing piece, both useful and decorative. Because a kitchen you enjoy cooking in deserves tea towels as honest as the produce you work with.
