Red Green Fig Kitchen Towel

The fig is a fruit of the South, generous and a little secret, ripening in the shelter of the leaves. This printed kitchen towel red and green makes it the subject: stylised figs in deep red, set on green foliage that folds around them, in a composition at once restrained and full of appetite.

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 Mediterranean spirit that runs through the whole collection.

As everyday kitchen linen, this cotton tea towel keeps 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 its colour.

But this printed kitchen towel red and green also has a real decorative role. Folded on the worktop or hanging from the oven rail, it brings a warm, natural note to the room. The deep red gives it depth, the green ties it to the garden and the orchards. It works with white china, natural tones, wood and terracotta.

It is a piece that speaks of the South, of fig trees heavy at the end of summer, of meals taken outside in the shade, carrying that atmosphere into the kitchen. You can pair it with the matching Fig tablecloth, runner and napkins, dressing table and kitchen in a single motif.

It also makes a fitting, characterful gift, for anyone who loves beautiful materials and everyday objects with soul. An artisanal, colourful and hard-wearing piece, both useful and decorative. Because a kitchen you enjoy cooking in deserves tea towels that look like it, and a little of the South never hurts.
