Description
The sunflower is summer in a single flower: the heat, the light, the great fields that follow the sun. This cotton tea towel blue and yellow makes it the subject, with a bright yellow shining against a deep blue, in a contrast full of energy.
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 solar, Mediterranean spirit that runs through the collection.
As everyday kitchen linen, this cotton tea towel blue and yellow keeps all its promises. 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 the brightness of its colours.
But it also has a real decorative role. Folded on the worktop or hanging from the oven rail, it brings light and joy to the room. The blue grounds and calms it, the yellow makes it shine. It works with white china, natural pottery, a kitchen open to the garden as well as a plainer interior it comes to lift.
It is a piece that speaks of the summers of the South, of roads lined with sunflowers, of lunches that stretch out in the shade. You can pair it with the matching Sunflower tablecloth and napkins, carrying the same light from the table through to the kitchen.
It also makes a sunlit, easy gift, for anyone who loves beautiful materials and everyday objects with character. An artisanal, colourful and hard-wearing piece, both useful and decorative. Because a kitchen you enjoy cooking in deserves tea towels that bring a little sunshine, even in the depths of winter.
