Each tea towel begins its journey as an original hand-drawn illustration. From quirky motifs to eye-catching patterns, every design reflects our commitment to creativity and originality.
Once the design is finalized, it undergoes screen printing. Using the highest-quality ink, we screen-print the artwork onto the cotton fabric with precision and care. The result? Vibrant, long-lasting prints that stand the test of time.
But we don't stop there. To ensure durability and longevity, each printed towel is heat-set, locking in the colors and preventing them from washing out or fading. This guarantees that every Counter Couture tea towel maintains its beauty, even after countless washes.
