A kitchen is only as good as its basics.
Like a good white button-up shirt in your wardrobe, these oversized cotton flour sack towels are an indispensable basic for your kitchen. You won't be afraid to use them over and over (and you will): drying lettuces, wiping up spills, carrying hot pots, covering soaking beans, and drying dishes (we've always preferred drying duty to washing... how about you?)

The meeting of form and function is an important aspect of all our kitchen tools. For Studiopatró, it’s their raison d'être. They create products that are beautiful (hand-printed, fine European linen) and practical (strong, laundry-safe, and they soften with use). And each piece is made with ecologically friendly materials. Because Studiopatró doesn’t believe you should have to compromise -- and neither do we.

Elegant backdrop for food photography
And a generally nice and useful set of tea towels, which I use frequently for tea and pastry-baskets! Nice and simple, which is exactly what I hoped for.
Just all around lovely
I bought these as styling props for my food photography and they are just perfect. They add texture and a nice neutral color to any scene.
