Details
This hand-block printed kitchen towel brings together beauty, durability, and sustainability in a piece designed for everyday use. Made from kora cotton, a natural textile that is never bleached or chemically processed, it retains its natural, off-white color. Printed with azo-free, water-based dyes, making it both eco-minded and beautifully colored—perfect for adding warmth to your home or gifting to someone special.
Highly absorbent and long-lasting, this towel is ideal for drying hands, wiping dishes, cleaning counters, or wrapping baked goods. Its strength and durability allow it to replace countless disposable paper towels while adding a handcrafted touch to your kitchen.
Each towel is hand-stamped by skilled artisans who have moved to urban areas for better opportunities while continuing their traditional craft. Slight variations in pattern or color are part of the handmade process, giving each piece its own unique character.
Packaged with a hanger and a belly band that tells the story of the product and its artisans, it makes a thoughtful and meaningful gift for Birthdays, Housewarmings, Host Gifts, Mother’s Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
How It's Made
This towel is crafted using the traditional hand block printing technique. Artisans carve intricate designs into wooden blocks, dip them in water-based dyes, and press them onto the cotton fabric one color at a time. After each color is applied, the fabric is left to dry completely before the next layer is added, resulting in rich, layered patterns created through multiple precise impressions. This time-honored process helps sustain artisan communities in Southern India.
