Beautiful things made to be used.
Our debut collection.
Four original watercolour prints on 100% organic cotton waffle weave. Made to use, made to love.
This Tomato print started with tomatoes I grew myself - picked with my kids, eaten at home, the same ones you'd find piled up at a summer market. I painted it from that, wanting the print to feel as ripe and unhurried as the real thing.
Designed and hand-painted in the UK (by me), then digitally printed onto 100% organic cotton waffle weave at a certified facility in China. Every tea towel is washed, dried, folded, and packed by me here at home, then walked to the post office myself.
The waffle weave is highly absorbent and surprisingly soft on the hands - the kind of tea towel that earns a permanent spot on the rail rather than the back of a drawer.

Layered watercolour washes meet the deep texture of organic cotton waffle weave in a hand-painted check design that brings painterly warmth to kitchen work.
I painted this pattern sitting at my studio desk, layering thin washes of watercolour pigment onto heavyweight paper until the lines bled softly into one another. I wanted to rethink the classic Madras check - taking a traditional, structured weave and breathing fresh movement into it through liquid colour. The result is a print that feels alive, where soft terracotta, muted sage, and warm ochre intersect without rigid edges.
To bring the painting off the paper, I chose a sturdy but soft 100% organic cotton waffle weave. The honeycomb structure creates a tactile, dimensional surface that catches light and holds onto moisture effortlessly. As you dry dishes or rest a hot loaf of sourdough beneath it, the deep waffle pockets go to work, absorbing water quickly while staying soft in your hands.
Every batch is designed in Britain and digitally printed in China to preserve every brushstroke, soft pigment puddle, and subtle tonal shift from the original artwork.
This tea towel brings a piece of quiet studio craft right into the heart of your home. It grows softer and more supple with every turn through the wash.

An organic, hand-painted reinterpretation of classic paisley motifs, printed on deep waffle-weave organic cotton for an inviting, artful kitchen essential.
Paisley is a shape I find endlessly fascinating to paint. Rather than rendering precise, formal curls, I worked with free-flowing watercolours and inks, letting the paint pool organically on wet paper to create soft, feathery curves that echo botanical tendrils. It turns a centuries-old motif into something relaxed, fluid, and deeply contemporary.
When transferred onto our 100% organic cotton waffle fabric, the painterly texture takes on an almost three-dimensional depth. The raised grid of the waffle weave catches the light across the print, highlighting every subtle wash of colour from deep indigo to soft dusky sky. Beyond how it looks hanging over an apron rail, it is built for genuine daily labour. The organic cotton waffle absorbs moisture instantly, making light work of both wet glassware and heavy cast-iron cookware.
Designed in Britain and digitally printed in China to capture every soft edge and tone, this piece brings joyful, considered beauty into your daily kitchen routines. It softens naturally over time, retaining its rich depth of colour wash after wash.

Delicate watercolour strawberries and leafy botanical tendrils printed on rich organic cotton waffle weave for a practical, painterly kitchen accent.
I painted this botanical study one quiet summer afternoon after sitting for a while watching strawberry plants unfurl their serrated leaves and tiny white blossoms with my children. Using soft watercolour strokes, I built up layers of blush pink, deep ruby red, and mossy green to capture the berries at different stages of ripening. The result is a delicate, painterly print that feels nostalgic yet refined.
The design finds its perfect partner in our 100% organic cotton waffle fabric. The raised grid texture adds physical weight and remarkable absorbency, allowing the tea towel to handle heavy kitchen drying while draping beautifully when hung up. The waffle pockets trap moisture easily, keeping the fabric performing brilliantly through busy cooking sessions.
Designed in Britain and digitally printed in China with crisp clarity and rich colour depth, each piece stays true to every brush-mark and watercolour bloom from my sketchbook. It brings a touch of slow, artisanal craft to your everyday tasks, getting softer and more absorbent with every wash.
