Linen tea towels, linen napkins, vintage French linen and knitted dishcloths: everyday kitchen linens made from natural fibres, chosen to be used hard and to last. They come in muted, earthy colours that suit a wooden kitchen as well as a white one. Gift cards are available to spend online or in our Falmouth shop.
Good kitchen linens are among the most-used things in a home. They dry the dishes, wrap the bread, cover the dough and wipe the table, and linen tends to get softer and better with every wash. This collection is our selection of sustainable, practical pieces for people who would rather have a few things they love than a drawer full of ones they don’t.
For drying up: Linen Tales’ linen tea towels come in thin stripe, green gingham, ochre and pink clay, all at a price that makes them easy to buy in sets. For something a little more special, a vintage French linen tea towel in off white has the character that only older linen has, and each one is a one-off.
For washing up: Iris Hantverk’s knitted dishcloth, made from linen and organic cotton, comes in mustard yellow, dusty pink, frosty green and black. It’s a simple alternative to disposable sponges and cloths, and a practical gift that people use daily.
For the table: Linen Tales’ linen napkins come in sets, in ochre, grey stripe and pink clay. They suit everyday dinners and will see you through a Christmas table, a Sunday lunch or a summer supper with equal ease.
For gifts: Kitchen linens are an easy gift for a housewarming, a wedding, a hostess present or a stocking filler, and most of the collection is under £30. A tea towel tied around a bottle or a wooden spoon makes a neat, plastic-free wrap. For something more complete, the Kitchen Gift Bundle brings several pieces together in one present.
