Know before you buy
The Detroit graphic is hand-silkscreened onto the fabric, which provides a clean, durable finish that maintains the texture of the cotton.
The towel is made from 100% cotton, which is naturally absorbent and well-suited for drying dishes or wiping down countertops.
While the rick-rack adds a delicate vintage aesthetic, we recommend machine washing on a gentle cycle and hanging to dry to preserve the integrity of the trim and the hand-dyed color.
Yes, the towel is versatile enough for both spaces. Its decorative design makes it a great choice for a guest bathroom or as a functional accent in the kitchen.
Like most 100% cotton textiles, some minor shrinkage may occur after the first wash. We recommend washing in cold water to minimize this effect.
