I wanted to move the classic tea towel check away from anything machine-made and formal. I really respect how a check is actually woven - yarn by yarn - but I wanted to paint one that felt free rather than precise. The colours came from dad's holiday shirts, picnic blankets, tablecloths flapping on a washing line, that Indian summer feeling - I just let the brush go loose and see where it landed.
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 beautifully textured - soft enough to double as a hand towel, summer-inspired, and endlessly giftable.
