Le Jacquard Français tea towels are woven in Gérardmer, France, on jacquard looms that build each design from coloured threads, so the pattern stays crisp after years of washing. Most are long-staple combed cotton, soft and very absorbent; the Dune designs use Re-Fil yarn, half recycled fibres and half cotton.
Each measures 60 x 80cm. The designs run from kitchen-garden produce and Provençal markets to Parisian gardens, coffee and dogs and cats, and most come in two or three colours. One makes an easy gift; two or three make a set.
