The Craft Behind Our Tea Towels

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.

Inventiveness During the Great Depression

During the Great Depression, when resources were scarce, flour sacks became valuable commodities. Housewives ingeniously repurposed them into clothing, quilts, curtains, and more, reflecting a spirit of resilience and creativity.

The Rise of Printed Flour Sacks

Manufacturers recognized the potential of printed sacks to appeal to consumers and began offering designs ranging from flowers to whimsical patterns. This innovation not only attracted buyers but also fostered a culture of exchanging and collecting sacks for their unique prints.

They are prized for their durability, absorbency, and timeless appeal. Whether for cleaning or cooking, these towels remain a beloved staple in households worldwide.
