Know before you buy
Because these towels are hand-printed using traditional techniques and vegetable dyes, they are not machine washable. We recommend hand washing them gently in cool water with a mild detergent to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the vibrancy of the print.
Yes, because the towel is made from 100% pure linen and is not lint-free, you may notice some fibers transferring to glass surfaces during the first few uses. This is a natural characteristic of high-quality linen that typically diminishes over time with regular use and washing.
While the linen is durable and highly absorbent, it is not designed for quick drying. Given its artisanal nature and the hand-printing process, it is best suited for light kitchen tasks or as a decorative accent piece.
No, each towel is a unique piece of art. Because they are crafted using traditional hand-block printing techniques, slight variations in the pattern and color are expected and celebrate the authentic, artisanal nature of the product.
No, this towel does not feature a dedicated hanging loop. You can easily drape it over a towel bar or oven handle to display the design.
